16. Justin Bieber (70.6m subscribers)

Pop clearly gets you far on YouTube. Next, we have child music sensation turned just regular music sensation, Justin Bieber. Bieber was actually discovered on YouTube, so it makes sense for him to be so far up the list.

His channel’s videos are what we’ve come to expect from musicians: music videos, promo material, interviews, and behind the scenes footage.

15. BangtanTV (72.5m subscribers)

You're never more than a few clicks away from some BTS content. Well, we don't know if that's 100% true, but the Korean pop band have become global megastars over recent years. Their official channel makes 15th in our list.

Children’s channels are hugely popular on YouTube, so we have a few like this on the list. This one is focused on a girl called Diana, with the content focusing on her life and what it’s like to be a kid (who is constantly filmed, I guess).

The videos include toy unboxings, challenges, trips out and about, and other activities that children get up to. A concept that would have sounded bizarre just a few years ago, but here we are.

5. PewDiePie (111m subscribers)

Next, we have YouTuber Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie.

By far the most famous YouTuber in the world, in part thanks to a number of controversies and his rivalry with another channel, T-Series, he’s also one of the highest earners on the platform.

PewDiePie’s main focus is gaming, including live streams of him playing. He also does a lot of vlogging, collaborations with other YouTubers, and his life in Japan.

The channel itself has a huge bank of nursery rhymes about a range of subjects, featuring CGI characters and locations in a cartoonish design.

1. T-Series (231m subscribers)

For 1,920 days, PewDiePie was the most followed YouTube channel. And then came along T-Series, a record label and film production company from India. Despite PewDiePie trying his hardest to stay ahead of T-Series, he’s now far, far behind.

The content on the channel is a huge collection of music videos, film clips, and trailers from T-Series creative output. Only time will tell if PewDiePie can ever retake the top spot.
