The United States followed, with around 253 million YouTube viewers. Brazil came in third, with 144 million users watching content on YouTube. The United Kingdom saw around 54.8 million internet users engaging with the platform in the examined period. What country has the highest percentage of YouTube users? In July 2024, the United Arab Emirates was the country with the highest YouTube penetration worldwide, as around 94 percent of the country's digital population engaged with the service. In 2024, YouTube counted around 100 million paid subscribers for its YouTube Music and YouTube Premium services. YouTube mobile markets In 2024, YouTube was among the most popular social media platforms worldwide.

On June 17, 2016, Korean education brand Pinkfong released their video "Baby Shark Dance", and the rest is history. In January 2021, Baby Shark Dance became the first YouTube video to surpass 10 billion views, after snatching the crown of most-viewed YouTube video of all time from the former record holder "Despacito" one year before. "Baby Shark Dance" currently has over 15 billion lifetime views on YouTube. Music videos on YouTube “Baby Shark Dance” might be the current record-holder in terms of total views, but Korean artist Psy’s “Gangnam Style” video remained on the top spot for longest (1,689 days or 4.6 years) before ceding its spot to its successor. With figures like these, it comes as little surprise that the majority of the most popular videos on YouTube are music videos. Since 2010, all but one the most-viewed videos on YouTube have been music videos, signifying the platform’s shift in focus from funny, viral videos to professionally produced content. As of 2022, about 40 percent of the U.S. digital music audience uses YouTube Music. Popular video content on YouTube Music fans are also highly engaged audiences and it is not uncommon for music videos to garner significant amounts of traffic within the first 24 hours of release. Other popular types of videos that generate lots of views after their first release are movie trailers, especially superhero movies related to the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). The first official trailer for the upcoming film “Avengers: Endgame” generated 289 million views within the first 24 hours of release, while the movie trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home generated over 355 views on the first day from release, making it the most viral movie trailer.

The most subscribed YouTube channels in the world are split evenly between brands and individual YouTubers. Many of the most successful company channels actually serve Indian audiences – such as T-Series, SET India, and Zee Music Company. All of these specialize in movies and music, often with Bollywood ties. One name even features twice on our Top 50 list: The main T-Series channel is the second-most subscribed YouTube channel in the world, at 300 million subs, while its devotional movies channel Bhakti Sagar ranks 28th. Among the 6 non-corporate YouTubers in the Top 10 are the overall leader MrBeast, three kids’ content creators – Kids Diana Show, Like Nastya, and Vlad and Niki – and two newer additions, the Stokes Twins and KIMPRO. They both recently passed by PewDiePie, who has now dropped out of the leaders of the pack. You won’t be surprised that the creator with the most subscribers on the platform is Jimmy Donaldson. After shooting past long-time leader T-Series and first cracking the magic 300 million in mid-2024, then 400 million in June 2025, MrBeast now holds at nearly 420 million. It's an outsize fanbase that earns him an outsize income. We’ve also already mentioned just how popular child YouTubers like Nastya or Diana are. Today, Vlad and Niki hold the #2 creator spot with 143 million subs, now pulling ahead of Kids Diana Show at 135 million (#3). Like Nastya is not far behind at 129 million subscribers in spot #4. About to overtake Nastya are the Stokes Twins, Alan and Alex, who rocketed up this entire list last year to become the #5 creators and the top #8 subscribed channel overall. The twin’s antics are now followed by a cool 129 million YouTube subscribers. The #6 creator channel is the South Korean comedy skit channel KIMPRO, which features the eponymous Kim Pro and a variable cast of female creators. At 114 million subs, KIMPRO is already the #10 most subscribed channel in the world. It, too, has been growing rapidly, adding millions of fans every month. Kim recently overtook a former long-term subs leader, video game player PewDiePie AKA Felix Kjellberg (110 million, #7 creator). Kjellberg's channel is updated only sporadically, though. It has leaked about a million followers over the last year. Rank #8 now belongs to Shorts star Alan Chikin Chow on Alan's Universe. Chow's comedic talent has earned him 95 million followers - more than triple what he had a year ago, when he was crowned (once more) the most famous Shorts YouTuber. Not far behind him comes the comedy skit channel A4, run by a team of Belarusian creators. They've amassed 87 million subscribers. After edging onto the top 50 list at the beginning of last year, A4 are now #19 overall, and the #9 creator channel. Also on the list since the first days of 2025 is Instagram, TikTok and YouTube phenomenon Alejo Igoa, an Argentinian comedian filming silly stuff with his friends. At some 83 million subs, he's already the #10 creator on this list – and he's been climbing fast. Next up is Indian family comedy channel KL BRO Biju Rithvik, which made it onto this list just a few months ago, now with around 75 million subscribers. This makes them the #11 creator channel. Soon after comes Topper Guild - the TikTok personality whose first dubious claim to fame was wasting food for views, and who has now moved on to glitzy MrBeast-style clips. Having entered the list in March, he is already the #12 creator with some 71.5 million fans. This leaves ex-NASA and Apple engineer Mark Rober in spot #13. His eponymous DIY engineering and science channel is about to reach 70 million subs – and continues to grow slowly, but steadily. Soon after, there's Uruguayan comedy-horror YouTuber Fede Vigevani. Listed here for about a year - since June 2024 - he today has nearly 70 million subscribers, which earns him the #14 creator spot. Additionally, he is the single most-watched Spanish-speaking creator (just ahead of YOLO - see below). The third newbie in 2025 is Japanese Short and TikTok creator ISSEI, AKA issei0806, whose funny travelogues and parodies of popular content formats launched him onto this list only in June. He's already climbed to 64.5 million subs and to the #15 creator spot. 2025's fourth new entry are the guys from YOLO AVENTURAS, a Mexico-based pranks, comedy and MrBeast-style challenge channel around Venezuelan Flavio Andrés Broianigo Muñoz (aka YOLO) and his siblings. Their 64 million subscribers make them the #16 creator channel. And: We're optimistic that they'll stay with us. Fresh on #17 with over 62.5 million subscribers comes Indian child sensation Anaya Kandhal, who has finally shouldered Dude Perfect out of the top 50 YouTubers - despite their big plans. She is also #50 overall, neatly capping off this list.

Study how YouTube videos become viral or, more in general, how they evolve in terms of views, likes and subscriptions is a topic of interest in many disciplines. With this dataset you can study such phenomena, with statistics about 1 million YouTube videos. The information was collected in 2013 when YouTube was exposing the data publicly: they removed this functionality in the years and now it's possible to have such statistics only to the owner of the video. This makes this dataset unique.
This Dataset has been generated with YOUStatAnalyzer, a tool developed by myself (Mattia Zeni) when I was working for CREATE-NET (www.create-net.org) within the framework of the CONGAS FP7 project (http://www.congas-project.eu). For the project we needed to collect and analyse the dynamics of YouTube videos popularity. The dataset contains statistics of more than 1 million Youtube videos, chosen accordingly to random keywords extracted from the WordNet library (http://wordnet.princeton.edu).
The motivation that led us to the development of the YOUStatAnalyser data collection tool and the creation of this dataset is that there's an active research community working on the interplay among user individual preferences, social dynamics, advertising mechanisms and a common problem is the lack of open large-scale datasets. At the same time, no tool was present at that time. Today, YouTube removed the possibility to visualize these data on each video's page, making this dataset unique.
When using our dataset for research purposes, please cite it as:

YouTube is an American online video-sharing platform headquartered in San Bruno, California. The service, created in February 2005 by three former PayPal employees—Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim—was bought by Google in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion and now operates as one of the company's subsidiaries. YouTube is the second most-visited website after Google Search, according to Alexa Internet rankings.
YouTube allows users to upload, view, rate, share, add to playlists, report, comment on videos, and subscribe to other users. Available content includes video clips, TV show clips, music videos, short and documentary films, audio recordings, movie trailers, live streams, video blogging, short original videos, and educational videos.
YouTube (the world-famous video sharing website) maintains a list of the top trending videos on the platform. According to Variety magazine, “To determine the year’s top-trending videos, YouTube uses a combination of factors including measuring users interactions (number of views, shares, comments, and likes). Note that they’re not the most-viewed videos overall for the calendar year”. Top performers on the YouTube trending list are music videos (such as the famously virile “Gangam Style”), celebrity and/or reality TV performances, and the random dude-with-a-camera viral videos that YouTube is well-known for.
This dataset is a daily record of the top trending YouTube videos.
Note that this dataset is a structurally improved version of this dataset.
This dataset was collected using the YouTube API. This Description is cited in Wikipedia.

Content is key: creators drive an entire economy As of July 2022, influencers on TikTok and YouTube generate the largest share of video views, over 90 percent, while content produced by media companies and brands constitute only a smaller part of the video views generated on the two video platforms. As content creators are emerging even more clearly as the backbone of social media marketing and advertising, it is not a surprise that an entire economy devoted to their needs and presence has developed in recent years. In 2022, companies supporting the creators’ economy by offering merchandising services had an annual average revenue of over 500 million U.S. dollars, while companies overseeing subscription services generated approximately 300 million U.S. dollars.

How many hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute? YouTube was launched in 2005 as a platform for sharing user-generated videos such as vlogs, tutorials, or original series.

YouTube Partner Program In the first quarter of 2024, YouTube’s ad revenue amounted to over eight billion U.S. dollars. Through its Partner Program, YouTube also rewards uploaders of popular videos with a share of the advertising revenues the content generates. This, paired with the fact that many users of the video sharing platform tend to have favorite channels that they revisit regularly, has given rise to another phenomenon: YouTube celebrities. Although some of these well-known figures were discovered on the website but then carved a successful career outside of YouTube, for many others the site is their primary platform for delivering content and staying in contact with fans, all while signing lucrative deals or promotional partnerships. Highest earning YouTubers In November 2022, MrBeast surpassed long-standing most subscribed YouTuber PewDiePie, having reached approximately 112 million subscribers. Due to the high number of subscribers and even higher number of views, these out-of-the-box stars not only have millions of fans, but also considerable earnings from their YouTube activities. In 2023, MrBeast was estimated to have earned around 82 million U.S. dollars, topping the ranking of the highest-earning YouTube creators. The ranking also included social media personality Jake Paul and Mark Fischbach, as well as Ryan Kaji from Ryan's World (formerly known as ToysReview), who started his YouTube career reviewing toys at three years old.
