Top 100 YouTube Channels by Subscribers: Every Channel Over 51 Million

Who are the top 100 YouTubers?

What the top 100 shows

Music artists get more views per video than they have subscribers

6 of the 7 channels with a reach ratio above 100% belong to music artists: Bad Bunny (491.0%), Eminem Music (181.4%), Taylor Swift (111.0%), Shakira (109.8%), Ariana Grande (105.6%) and Billie Eilish (100.7%). The other is MrBeast Gaming. Bad Bunny has only 190 videos, and they average 261.2M views each, the most in the top 100. Many people play a hit song without subscribing to the artist, so views can grow past the subscriber count. None of these channels is in the top 50. Ranking by subscribers alone hides them.

Gaming channels only appear below 50th place

7 gaming channels made the top 100, and the highest ranks 59th. They come from Italy, United States, Spain, Chile, Indonesia, India and Turkey. The list: PANDA BOI (59), MrBeast Gaming (67), Mikecrack (71), JuegaGerman (79), Jess No Limit (84), Techno Gamerz (92) and BETER BÖCÜK (97). 5 of the 7 publish in a language other than English.

MrBeast and T-Series each have three channels on the list

MrBeast (1), MrBeast 2 (61) and MrBeast Gaming (67) all belong to Jimmy Donaldson. T-Series (2), T-Series Bhakti Sagar (28) and T-Series Bollywood Classics (88) all belong to the T-Series music label. Masha and the Bear also appears twice, once in Russian and once in English.

India and the United States hold half the list

India has 30 channels and the United States has 19, plus 2 that list both the US and China. Hindi is the second most common language with 29 channels, after English with 34. Counting every country a channel lists, the top 100 covers 32 countries.

11 channels joined YouTube in 2020 or later

A late start does not keep a channel out of the top 100. UR · Cristiano joined YouTube in 2024 and already ranks 26th with 83.3M subscribers. Celine Dept joined in 2023 and ranks 52nd.

News channels post the most videos

Aaj Tak (740,438 videos) and ABP NEWS (648,810) have more uploads than any other channel in the top 100. Each video gets few views: Aaj Tak averages 66.1K and ABP NEWS averages 52.3K. For how upload volume and views per video play out across the top 50, read the top 50 YouTube channels breakdown.

Frequently asked questions

How this list was built

Channels. The 100 channels come from Wikipedia's list of most-subscribed YouTube channels (table dated September 2026). That list leaves out channels YouTube generates on its own, such as Music and Gaming, and channels that moved their videos elsewhere. Country, language and category come from the same table.

Counts and order. I read subscribers, lifetime views and video count from each channel's YouTube About page on 17 September 2026, then ranked the channels by those live subscriber counts. YouTube blocks three of the channels in India, where I ran the check, so their counts come from the OutlierKit channel index. A channel that passed ABP NEWS after the Wikipedia table was last edited would not appear here yet.

Limits. Views per video and reach ratio are lifetime averages. They include Shorts and old viral videos, so they do not show how a channel's latest upload did. The list does not show revenue, watch time or where the audience lives.
