Context

As YouTube becomes one of the most popular video-sharing platforms, YouTuber is developed as a new type of career in recent decades. YouTubers earn money through advertising revenue from YouTube videos, sponsorships from companies, merchandise sales, and donations from their fans. In order to maintain a stable income, the popularity of videos become the top priority for YouTubers. Meanwhile, some of our friends are YouTubers or channel owners in other video-sharing platforms. This raises our interest in predicting the performance of the video. If creators can have a preliminary prediction and understanding on their videos’ performance, they may adjust their video to gain the most attention from the public.

In 2024, YouTube channels counting over ****** followers saw their video views decrease to *** per video, down by ** percent year-over-year. In comparison, small accounts with between *** and ***** followers saw approximately **** views per video in 2024, down compared to the **** views recorded in 2023.

List of top YouTubers and their estimated earnings and subscriber counts in 2024.

YouTube was created in 2005, with the first video – Me at the Zoo - being uploaded on 23 April 2005. Since then, 1.3 billion people have set up YouTube accounts. In 2018, people watch nearly 5 billion videos each day. People upload 300 hours of video to the site every minute.

According to 2016 research undertaken by Pexeso, music only accounts for 4.3% of YouTube’s content. Yet it makes 11% of the views. Clearly, an awful lot of people watch a comparatively small number of music videos. It should be no surprise, therefore, that the most watched videos of all time on YouTube are predominantly music videos.

On August 13, BTS became the most-viewed artist in YouTube history, accumulating over 26.7 billion views across all their official channels. This count includes all music videos and dance practice videos.

Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran now hold the records for second and third-highest views, with over 26 billion views each.

Currently, BTS’s most viewed videos are their music videos for “**Boy With Luv**,” “**Dynamite**,” and “**DNA**,” which all have over 1.4 billion views.

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 close to 300 million subs, while its devotional movies channel Bhakti Sagar ranks 26th. 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 cracking the magic 300 million mark in mid-2024, MrBeast is fresh off busting the 400 million milestone. It's a spectacular 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 142 million subs, now pulling ahead of Kids Diana Show at 135 million (#3). Like Nastya is not far behind at 128 million subscribers in spot #4. Closing the distance 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 sensation comedy duo nearly quadrupled their sub count within three months. The twin’s antics are now followed by a cool 127 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 111 million subs, too, KIMPRO is already the #10 most subscribed channel in the world. It, too, has been growing rapidly, adding millions of fans every week. Kim is fresh off overtaking 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 94 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 have amassed 83 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. 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 74 million subscribers. This makes them the #10 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 70 million subs, he's the #11 creator on this list – and he's been climbing fast. This leaves ex-NASA and Apple engineer Mark Rober in spot #12. His eponymous DIY engineering and science channel recently reached 69 million subs – and continues to grow slowly, but steadily. Immediately 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 Beast-style clips. Having entered the list in March, he is already the #13 creator with some 69 million fans. He'll likely overtake Rober shortly. Next, there's Uruguayan comedy-horror YouTuber Fede Vigevani. Listed here for about a year - since June 2024 - he today has over 68 million subscribers, which earns him the #14 creator spot. Additionally, he is the single most-watched Spanish-speaking creator, just ahead of YOLO. 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 in June. He's already climbed to 63 million subs 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 63 million subscribers make them the #16 creator channel. And: We're optimistic that they'll stay with us. Fresh on #17 with 62 million subscribers comes Indian child sensation Anaya Kandhal, who has finally shouldered Dude Perfect out of the top 50 YouTubers - despite their big plans.

With 343 million subscribers, the U.S. based videographer and internet personality managed to surpass Indian music network T-Series, which held the number one place for several years, and sat at 284 million subscriber as of the examined period. 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. The site grew rapidly and reportedly had 100 million video views per day and more than 65 thousand daily uploads only a year later. As of February 2022, more than 500 hours of video were uploaded to YouTube every minute, up from a mere 24 hours of content uploads per minute in 2010. 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.

Some of the best known groups under Hybe labels are BTS, Seventeen, Le Sserafim and other successful K-Pop artists. K-Pop popularity Korean pop music channels occupied most of the top spots among popular Korean YouTube channels. One of the reasons for this is the growing popularity of Korean pop music worldwide. During the last few years, K-Pop has greatly expanded its reach and, despite most songs being mostly in Korean, garnered a lot of attention globally for their catchy rhythm and chorus. YouTube as a chance to access K-Pop For international K-Pop enthusiasts, YouTube was also the main channel to access the music videos of Korean pop artists. K-pop fans often commit to streaming a newly released music video multiple times during the first hours and days after release to try and break the record for the most viewed video at that time to support their favorite artists.

Recent works about science communication through online videos on YouTube have focused mostly on categorization, content description, and the video's approach to scientific themes. However, still little is known about factors affecting science video popularity on the platform. This study aims to describe the relationship between nine content-related and content-agnostic factors, and the popularity of science videos on YouTube, defined as the number of views per days since the video posting. We collected a sample of 441 semi-randomly selected videos produced by the ScienceVlogs Brasil project – a Brazilian alliance of science channels hosted by independent science communicators on YouTube. Content-related factors were video theme, video format and video editing features, while content-agnostic factors were video length, video age, channel productivity, number of likes, number of comments and channel to which the video belongs. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed with the R software to assess the correlation of each factor with the popularity of each video. Descriptive results show that the most popular science videos are those with interdisciplinary themes, styled either as vlog, animation or group conversation, and those belonging to the channels “Ciência Todo Dia,” “Minuto da Terra,” “Canal do Pirula” e “Papo de Biólogo.” The inferential analysis shows that the most relevant factors to predict popularity, according to our model, are number of likes per video, channel productivity, video age and video format.
