TOP 20 Most Subscribed YouTube Channels (2006-2024)
Notes:
- Daily channel data was being tracked by Social Blade from July 21, 2010, so you can expect near perfect overall accuracy from that date (with the exception of 2021 Jun to 2022 Jun in which some channels are comprised of monthly snapshots).
- Topic channels were inflated for large portions of their history and are not included; this includes the official YouTube channel.
- Starting from January 2018, musicians' VEVO and personal channels were merged.
- Pinkfong's inflation from 2024 Mar to 2024 May is not included.
- According to alleged data leaks, PewDiePie should be at around 111.0m subs as of June 2024.
- It is not confirmed whether mystoandpizzi took the top spot. However, according to simulated scenarios based on the existing data-points it is more likely that they did. Their growth in 2006 is also suspicious, but there is no definitive proof.
- Minor quirks:
--- Fastest growing: Live for 2008/11; PianoChatImprov for 2010/03
--- slitherio official should be removed from 2016/06 list with LeafyIsHere at #10
--- Try to ignore the cursor that creeped up in the frame in mid 2016
--- Fastest growing list should read 2024/03 for that month

Finally, three years on, we got an update. I watched the original video at least 10 times lol

[SzaSzabiYT]

The myth, the legend, he's back!!

[mish]

Greatest bar chart video ever made, was so happy when you uploaded this update after remembering the first video a couple years ago

[PabloDanielLimaSouza]

Damn bro, out of dozens and dozens of videos I've watched ranking YouTube channels in terms of number of subscribers since the beginning of YouTube, this is the most accurate I've found haha

[Merseye]

Aye its pretty cool, its nice to see the fastest growing channels for a month to recent again!

[SuperWindows]

One problem though, PewDiePie is at ~111.1M.

[CTCtheHistorian]

Absolutely amazing that you’re back, making the only video in 2024 to include the entire timeline. Although there are a few mistakes especially in the realm of 2006-2009, as well as PewDiePie’s current subscriber count. I know this is a bit forward but if you have any means of contacting me please do cause I’m a 2006-2010 expert (at least compared to most), and of course, this is an absolutely fantastic video. Kudos!

I love your first video on this to this day, seeing this happen makes me so happy : D

FINALLY, AN UPDATED VIDEO THREE YEARS LATER!!!

[AlexTBK]

How could I not like this video? It is EXCELLENT, so far the best video of the most subscribed channels in the world. The data is extremely precise (I don't know if is daily or weekly) but it is absolutely a masterpiece. CONGRATS! 👏

[TheHypeMaster]

i loved this video, even though it only has 34 views, you've truly got a viral hit in your heart.

[coocoostryker]

You have some pretty good music taste ngl.

Seeing MrBeast pass every corporate channel was satisfying

[genipapoTV]

and when we needed them most... they returned!

[thegamingchannel]

Right when I was thinking you needed to drop an update!!

[cadzilla]

I did not expect this update, although I am overjoyed it exists!

[MikolajNieswiety]

League of Legends was holding the record of most subscribers gained in a month for a year.

[RedSaturnSeven]

The fact that I'm planning on uploading the same video today. 💀
Great video BTW

Actually yknow what, the jump at the end was the cherry on top
