List of YouTubers With 100 Million Subscribers (2026)

5/5 - (6 votes)

A hundred million subscribers sounds like a made-up number. Back in 2019 exactly one channel had it. By October 2026 the club has 17 members.

The group is a strange and fascinating mix. There are solo creators and huge Indian media houses. There are toddlers playing with toys, a wrestling empire, a K-pop band and two Korean cousins who barely speak on camera. What do they share? A format that works in any language, and a habit of uploading on a schedule most of us would find exhausting.

Below is every channel past 100 million subscribers, with a direct link to each one. We also looked at total views, video counts and launch dates to see how each channel actually got there.

The average views column tells an interesting story. MrBeast, Cocomelon and the kids channels earn more than 100 million views per video. SET India, WWE and Sony SAB average around one million, and they make up for it with tens of thousands of uploads. Two very different roads lead to the same club.

YouTube Channels in the 100 Million Club

1. MrBeast (521 Million Subscribers)

MrBeast YouTube channel

Channel: youtube.com/@MrBeast · Country: United States · Content: Challenges and stunts · Joined: Feb 2012

Jimmy Donaldson uploaded his first video in February 2012 under the name MrBeast6000. He was a teenager in Greenville in North Carolina. The early uploads were gaming clips and countdown videos. The big break came from expensive stunts like counting to 100,000 on camera and giving cash to strangers. A real-life Squid Game with real prize money pushed him even higher.

Today the channel is the flagship of Beast Industries, a company with hundreds of employees. Videos arrive about once every week or two and usually run 10 to 30 minutes. That slow pace is unusual at this level. Each upload averages around 140 million views, the highest per-video average in the whole club.

The business has grown well past YouTube. Feastables chocolate launched in 2022. The Lunchly snack packs followed in 2024 with KSI and Logan Paul. Beast Games then landed on Prime Video in December 2024. MrBeast also runs nearly a dozen dubbed channels in other languages, and MrBeast en Español alone pulls huge numbers.

He passed T-Series on June 2, 2024 to become the most-subscribed channel on YouTube. On June 12, 2026 he became the first creator to reach 500 million.

2. T-Series (316 Million Subscribers)

Channel: youtube.com/@tseries · Country: India · Content: Music · Joined: Mar 2006

T-Series is the YouTube arm of Super Cassettes Industries, the Mumbai music label started by Gulshan Kumar in 1983 and now run by his son Bhushan Kumar. The channel holds Bollywood songs, film trailers and devotional tracks, and it posts several videos every single day.

The numbers behind it are wild. The channel has more than 27,000 videos and over 359 billion total views. That is the highest view total in the whole list. Yet the YouTube team behind it is surprisingly small, reported at about a dozen people. T-Series runs dozens of channels in regional languages, and roughly 40% of the main channel traffic comes from outside India.

In early 2019 T-Series raced PewDiePie for the top spot in one of the most talked-about rivalries in YouTube history. It passed him in March 2019. Two months later, on May 29, 2019, it became the first channel to reach 100 million subscribers. It hit 200 million in December 2021.

3. Cocomelon (203 Million Subscribers)

Cocomelon YouTube channel

Channel: youtube.com/@cocomelon · Country: United States · Content: Kids nursery rhymes · Joined: Sep 2006

Cocomelon began life in 2006 under the name checkgate. It later became ABC Kid TV and took its current name in 2018. It was built by a small Orange County studio of about 20 people before Moonbug Entertainment bought it in 2020. Candle Media later acquired Moonbug in a deal reported at around three billion dollars.

The format is simple 3D-animated nursery rhymes starring a boy named JJ and his family. A new video lands about once a day, and the average upload has earned over 100 million views. Toddlers watch the same songs over and over, which keeps those numbers climbing for years.

Netflix has carried Cocomelon since June 2020, and the spin-off Cocomelon Lane premiered there in November 2023. On YouTube the brand has spread into spin-off channels such as JJ Animal Time and Cody Time. It also runs versions in Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, German and Arabic. It became the third channel to reach 100 million subscribers, in December 2020.

4. SET India (190 Million Subscribers)

Channel: youtube.com/@setindia · Country: India · Content: TV shows · Joined: Sep 2006

SET India is the YouTube home of Sony Entertainment Television, run by Culver Max Entertainment in Mumbai. It posts episodes and clips from shows such as Indian Idol, Kaun Banega Crorepati and the crime drama CID.

SET India uploads more than any other channel in the club. It has over 177,000 videos and adds dozens every day, which explains how it reached 190 million subscribers with an average of roughly one million views per video. Volume is the strategy here.

Guinness World Records lists SET India for the most subscribers for an entertainment channel on YouTube. Its parent company also made business headlines in 2024 when Sony called off a planned merger with Zee Entertainment, the group that owns two other channels on this list.

5. Vlad and Niki (151 Million Subscribers)

Vlad and Niki YouTube channel

Channel: youtube.com/@vladandniki · Country: Russia / US · Content: Kids roleplay · Joined: Apr 2018

Brothers Vlad and Niki Vashketov star in toy and roleplay videos aimed at preschoolers. The channel launched in April 2018 and grew at a frightening pace. Their father left his sales job to handle licensing and brand deals, and the family now splits time between Miami and Dubai.

The channel uploads about twice a week, and the average video passes 110 million views. The family runs around 21 channels in 18 languages, which spreads the same stories across almost every major market.

The toy business is serious. ZURU signed a global toy deal in 2020, and Playmates Toys became the worldwide master toy partner later that year. Back in 2019 the brothers were estimated to earn more per video than any other YouTuber.

6. Stokes Twins (148 Million Subscribers)

Stokes Twins YouTube channel

Channel: youtube.com/@stokestwins · Country: United States · Content: Pranks and challenges · Joined: Mar 2017

Identical twins Alan and Alex Stokes started their joint channel in 2017 and now film out of Los Angeles. They make scripted challenge and prank videos that rely heavily on the twin switch trick.

The channel changed gear in 2024. The twins leaned into YouTube Shorts and multi-language dubbing, and average daily views jumped from a few million to around 50 million. They post one or two longer videos a week alongside the Shorts.

Their road has had bumps. A 2019 fake bank robbery prank in Irvine led to misdemeanour charges, community service and a temporary pause on monetisation in 2021. Since then they have landed on the Forbes Top Creators list and the TIME100 Creators list. Netflix began carrying a library of their videos in July 2026, and an original series is planned for 2027.

7. Kids Diana Show (138 Million Subscribers)

Channel: youtube.com/@kidsdianashow · Country: Ukraine / UAE · Content: Kids roleplay · Joined: May 2015

Diana Kidisyuk and her brother Roma star in this roleplay channel. Their parents Volodymyr and Olena from Kyiv launched it in May 2015. Both parents quit their jobs in 2017 to run it full time. The family later moved to Miami and then to Dubai.

Diana holds the Guinness World Records title for the most subscribers for an individual female on YouTube. The channel uploads five to seven times a week, and the average video has around 72 million views.

The brand has grown into a franchise called Love Diana with an animated series and a mobile game and merchandise. It appears on Prime Video, Roku and Hulu, and dubbed Diana and Roma channels run in about nine languages including Arabic, Spanish and Hindi.

8. KIMPRO (135 Million Subscribers)

KIMPRO YouTube channel

Channel: youtube.com/@kimpro828 · Country: South Korea · Content: Wordless comedy Shorts · Joined: Nov 2017

KIMPRO is the most surprising member of the club. It is run by two cousins, Kim Dong-jun and Yoo Baek-hap, with a crew they call OK TEAM. Kim used to plan concerts. The channel began serious posting in August 2022 after the pair tested their skits on TikTok.

The format is almost entirely Shorts. Think wordless comedy skits and food challenges and visual gags that need zero translation. The channel posts two to six times a day and already has close to 4,500 videos.

The growth is staggering. KIMPRO went from about 825,000 subscribers in September 2022 to 22 million a year later. On April 17, 2025 it became the first Korean channel to reach 100 million subscribers, less than three years after launch. Korean media reported that it earned more yearly views in 2025 than any other channel in the world, and most of its subscribers live outside Korea.

9. Like Nastya (133 Million Subscribers)

Like Nastya YouTube channel

Channel: youtube.com/@likenastyaofficial · Country: Russia / US · Content: Kids roleplay · Joined: Dec 2016

Anastasia Radzinskaya, known as Nastya, was born in Russia in 2014. Doctors diagnosed her with cerebral palsy at birth. Her parents sold their businesses in 2015 to focus on the channel, and the family now lives in Miami.

Her videos mix roleplay, songs and learning games, with two or three uploads a week. The average video has passed 110 million views, and Nastya runs a dozen dubbed language channels.

The business side grew quickly. Forbes ranked her among the highest-paid YouTubers in 2019. IMG became her global licensing agent in 2020. A Jazwares toy line followed in 2021, and part of the proceeds went to the Cerebral Palsy Foundation.

10. Zee Music Company (123 Million Subscribers)

Channel: youtube.com/@zeemusiccompany · Country: India · Content: Music · Joined: Mar 2014

Zee Music Company launched in March 2014 as the music label of Zee Entertainment in Mumbai. It posts official songs, lyric videos and jukeboxes from Bollywood and regional film soundtracks in many Indian languages, often several times a day.

The label is big business for its parent. Zee reported in early 2026 that its YouTube network had over 176 million subscribers and a catalogue of more than 20,000 songs. Its chief executive said in May 2026 that the company was open to spinning Zee Music off as a separate business if the right partner appeared.

The catalogue has had a bumpy ride on other platforms. It vanished from Spotify in March 2023 after licensing talks broke down and later returned with Universal Music Group handling global distribution.

11. Alejo Igoa (123 Million Subscribers)

Alejo Igoa was born in 1996 in Posadas, Argentina, and posted his first video in 2014. He now runs a team of about 40 people from studios in Panama and manages the business himself.

His Spanish-language videos are big, playful challenges such as a day locked in a cardboard jail or a real-life Minecraft build. He gained close to 44 million subscribers in 2025 alone, second only to MrBeast that year, and crossed 100 million in late December 2025.

Guinness World Records lists him for the most subscribers on a Spanish-language channel. In April 2026 he sold out seven shows at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires for more than 70,000 fans.

12. WWE (114 Million Subscribers)

Channel: youtube.com/@wwe · Country: United States · Content: Wrestling · Joined: May 2007

WWE joined YouTube in 2007 and is now part of TKO Group Holdings. The channel turns Raw and SmackDown and the big live events into highlights and full matches. It also makes original series like WWE Playback and WWE Top 10.

It is a volume machine with over 97,000 videos. WWE passed 100 million subscribers on March 8, 2024, making it the largest sports channel on YouTube. At that point it had more subscribers than the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL channels combined.

The return of The Rock pushed the milestone weeks ahead of schedule. A single WrestleMania XL event in February 2024 added more than 100,000 subscribers in one day.

13. Goldmines (110 Million Subscribers)

Channel: youtube.com/@goldminestelefilms · Country: India · Content: Dubbed films · Joined: Jan 2012

Goldmines Telefilms is a Mumbai company founded by Manish Shah. Its YouTube channel is best known for full-length Hindi-dubbed versions of Telugu and Tamil action films, and it adds several videos a day.

The dubbing strategy dates back to 2007. The Hindi dub of Pushpa: The Rise reportedly earned more than 100 crore rupees for the company. Goldmines also runs TV channels under the Goldmines name and has moved into film production with Kanchana 4.

The channel crossed 100 million subscribers on September 20, 2024. In 2023 the Delhi High Court barred it from uploading songs from 14 films after a dispute with T-Series.

14. PewDiePie (109 Million Subscribers)

Felix Kjellberg from Sweden opened his channel in April 2010 and spent years as the face of YouTube gaming. He was the first channel to reach 50 million subscribers and held the top spot from 2013 until early 2019. In August 2019 he became the first individual creator to pass 100 million.

He moved to Japan in 2022 and has since stepped back from gaming. His recent uploads are lifestyle and hobby vlogs, and in May 2026 he said the family vlogs with his wife Marzia would wrap up in September 2026 to protect the privacy of their son.

His subscriber count has drifted down slowly, which makes his place in this list a bit precarious. The 2019 race against T-Series still ranks among the most memorable moments in YouTube history.

15. Sony SAB (106 Million Subscribers)

Channel: youtube.com/@sonysab · Country: India · Content: TV comedy · Joined: Aug 2007

Sony SAB is the Hindi comedy channel of Culver Max Entertainment, the company behind SET India. It posts episodes, teasers and recaps of shows such as Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, one of the longest-running sitcoms on Indian television.

With over 117,000 videos and nearly 150 billion views, Sony SAB has more total views than many channels with twice its subscribers. Uploads arrive in batches, often several a day.

The channel crossed 100 million subscribers on March 17, 2025, making Culver Max the owner of two separate 100 million channels.

16. Alan Chikin Chow (103 Million Subscribers)

Channel: youtube.com/@alanchikinchow · Country: United States · Content: Short scripted series · Joined: Feb 2020

Alan Chikin Chow was born in Dallas in 1998 and writes, directs and stars in short scripted series. The best known is set in a fictional high school with a recurring cast, and each episode runs under a minute.

He turned that into a real studio. AU Studios opened in Burbank in November 2024 with 10 sets across 10,000 square feet. The channel gets around a billion views a month and has close to 1,800 videos.

His shows now travel far past YouTube. The series streams on The Roku Channel, Prime Video and Tubi, and Netflix picked it up in July 2026 alongside a scripted K-pop series made with HYBE America. He celebrated passing 100 million subscribers with a fan school day at the studio in March 2026.

17. Blackpink (101 Million Subscribers)

Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa opened the Blackpink channel in June 2016. The group is managed by YG Entertainment in Seoul. It holds music videos, dance practices and behind-the-scenes clips.

Blackpink uploads far less than anyone else here, with fewer than 700 videos in total. Yet each one averages over 60 million views, and about 50 of them have passed 100 million.

In February 2026 YouTube confirmed it as the first official artist channel to pass 100 million subscribers, right before the release of the mini album DEADLINE. It has been the most-subscribed music artist on YouTube since September 2021.

What the 100 Million Club Has in Common

India and the US lead. Each country has five channels in the club. All five Indian channels are media companies: T-Series, SET India, Zee Music Company, Goldmines and Sony SAB.

Kids content is a powerhouse. Cocomelon, Vlad and Niki, Kids Diana Show and Like Nastya take four spots. Young kids rewatch favourites endlessly, and dubbed channels carry the same stories into a dozen languages.

Shorts rewrote the race. KIMPRO, Stokes Twins, Alejo Igoa and Alan Chikin Chow all grew fast on short videos. KIMPRO went from about 825,000 subscribers to over 100 million in less than three years.

Dubbing is the hidden engine. MrBeast, Vlad and Niki, Like Nastya, Kids Diana Show and the Stokes Twins all run translated channels or audio tracks. The same video earns views in many markets at once.

Creators are building companies. Feastables, the Love Diana franchise, AU Studios and toy deals with ZURU and Jazwares show where the money goes after YouTube. For more on how creators earn, see our YouTube creator statistics.

Channels Close to 100 Million

Who joins next? Zee TV sat at about 99 million subscribers in late September 2026 and may well have crossed by now. ChuChu TV followed at around 98 million, Topper Guild at around 95 million and the Belarusian creator A4 at around 93 million. Expect at least two new members before 2027.
