Top 10 most subscribed YouTube channels in world (2025 edition)

Here is a list of the top 10 YouTubers in the world about subscribers: From sharing videos casually among friends to becoming the global hub for digital entertainment, it has grown quite a lot since the inception in 2005.

More than 2.7 billion monthly users include people according to interest-from hilarious comedy and popular music videos to science experiments and nursery rhymes for kids. Millions of channels live on YouTube, yet only a handful of them have made it to the very top with hundreds of millions of eyes (and subscriptions) on them.

Here, one-letter away from the article, you can find the Top 10 most subscribed YouTube channels of the world, also peeking into the fantastic trends and personalities behind these digital giants.

And the name remains, MrBeast. Or should we say Jimmy Donaldson? A true YouTube phenomenon, this guy started posting gaming and reaction videos back in 2012. Yet, it was through his creative and high-cost challenges, philanthropic stunts, and massive giveaways that made MrBeast become such a household name.

From giving away private islands to repairing homes for the less fortunate, MrBeast changed the idea of creator-led content.

Today, he is not just another top individual creator; in fact, he may be the most subscribed individual YouTuber in the entire world at a whopping 386 million subscribers representing the huge power of what person-driven content can bring.

Strangely enough, MrBeast’s upward going trend also indicates the trend of YouTube as a whole: that of the actor as a more important figure than a corporate brand in itself. While media houses such as T-Series and SET India can boast about their enormous library and production resources, people such as MrBeast and PewDiePie have proven that the art of good storytelling and high-value fun could bring very similar-or even higher- levels of subscriber loyalty.

This means that 40 percent of the top 50 YouTube channels are individual-led; so much for personal contact against constant corporate solidarity.

It is evident how the children’s content rules-including channels like Cocomelon, Kids Diana Show, Vlad and Niki, and Like Nastya. They really reach globally across more than 500 million subscribers as they thrive on repeat viewing and universal themes such as play, music, and learning, resulting in millions of families in their homes.

It again tells how regional diversity shapes the top tier of YouTube channels. Though English remains the most popular language, Hindi is now emerging as a close second in terms of being the main language of most of the top channels.

Three of the ten top channels are creating their content primarily in Hindi – a direct reflection of the major and expanding digital footprint that India now has. Leading the pack is T-Series, a music label that owns the most-viewed YouTube channel, which emphasizes the importance of numbers and local relevance.

Either a heartwarming generosity, engaging nursery rhymes, DIY science in the cinema-theater form, or 24 X 7 drama and music.

Note: The subscribers are recorded as of April 22, 2025

MrBeast

As of June 2024, MrBeast is the most subscribed channel on YouTube. And with a bit of reason. Because, at one time or the other, Mr. Beast and Jimmy Donaldson to his parents has probably offered you a new house or a Lamborghini, right? This one-man content machine activated its premise in the mid-2010s when it staged elaborate giveaways and jaw-droppers. He is also the highest-paid YouTuber. Why?.

Well, MrBeast is uniquely divisive. The American one first caught the people eyes with novelty YouTube stunts, like reading out the entire dictionary or counting to 100,000. Thereafter, he branched out into the outlandish, larger-than-life challenges-audience-subscribe to see what he will do next.

T-Series

Until mid-2024, T-series, which is based in India, had years being the most subscribed to channel. What is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, you ask? Not much of a secret: T-Series is a record label specializing in Hindi film soundtracks and Indi-pop music.

It is largest record label and film studio in India-over 1.3 billion people would make it a pretty huge market. Not to mention those regions-those subscribers from other territories, as well. T-Series musics videos, lyric videos, remixes, and trailers related to films. That’s a usual stuff, but what makes it one of the most-subscribed YouTube channels? It’s also a legacy brand. They’ve been around since the 1980s, and as a well-established cog in the Bollywood machine, they pump out multiple videos every day.

Cocomelon

People love doing it for eduction in YouTube-not only adults, of course. But Coomelon helps children in the US learn necessary early skills in small, digestible, entertaining portions-parts brought, of course, in the CGI style of the day, to resemble the kind of TV children may watch on their own.

Cocomelon’s presence on YouTube is a mix between old nursery rhymes, new songs, and lifestreaming. They have learned to do the true 3-D animation, which is popular among children today, and to angle it toward education and thus strike a winning formula with such success that they have even sold content to Netflix!

SET India

Our second entry into the country is Sony Entertainment Television (SET) India. They are packaging full episodes, trailers, and highlights, but how did they achieve such a large following? The sheer voluminous content they produce-in the range of 30 and 40 videos per day plus the size of the country where they are being broadcast could easily enough dilemma.

The Sony brand recognition helps a lot too. Top that up with the best of programming and an audience not just bound to terrestrial television, and you are bound to rack up views.
