The 51 million YouTube channels differ a lot: some channels are tiny, some are massive. Some have a lot of videos, some only feature one. Some are from brands, some from creators, some are only private…They are diverse like animals. I’ve recently illustrated it this way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each animal stands for a certain number of YouTube subscribers. The data for this illustration comes from Socialblade.Keep in mind that\u00a0Socialblade<\/strong>\u00a0requires a\u00a0minimum of five subscribers<\/strong>\u00a0to have a channel counted. However, generally, the channels that only have 5-10 are not always counted either. That means the number of channels is much higher than the 38 million overall channel numbers presented.In the last year, the total number has grown by 7 million, that’s a plus of 23% compared to 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly the number of channels featuring between 100 to 1,000 subscribers – the frogs in the illustration above – grew strong 2020. Apparently, it got a bit easier to crack the 1,000 subs milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of January 2022, there are around 29,000 YouTube channels<\/strong> out there having over 1 million subscribers<\/strong>. They are the dinosaurs of the YouTube space! Massive in size. Most specimens started ages ago. And it took them very long to grow this size.YouTube’s CEO Susan Wojcicki states that in 2019 the number of YouTube channels<\/a> having more than 1 million subscribers grew by 65%. They are the foundation for the business model of the video platform and YouTube’s revenues<\/a>.Back in 2016, there were only 2,000 channels that had over one million subscribers<\/a>. Since then every day four YouTube channels hit this 1 million subs milestone.<\/a> The total number of channels with 1 million subs has grown by a factor of 8. In 3 years only!700 of these YouTube “dinosaurs”<\/strong> already feature over 10 million subscribers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly half of all these 10M+ channels are from the US<\/strong>. The 2nd most popular country of top YouTube channels is India<\/strong> with more than 60 channels featuring more than 10 million subs.Mexico is home to most top Spanish language channels, directly followed by Spain. Big markets like France are home to only three 10M+ channels, in Germany, there’s only one even: Kurzgesagt<\/a>.Two channels recently managed to break the 100M subscriber barrier: Felix Kjellberg’s PewDiePie<\/strong><\/a> channel and T-Series<\/strong><\/a> from India<\/strong>. They have long fought over the #1 position. T-Series finally won. At the time this article was written T-Series featured 161 million subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
