Top 10 YouTubers Combined vs Every Country's Population

Data sources

Social Blade and YouTube pages archived by the Internet Archive and Common Crawl for subscribers; UN World Population Prospects 2024 via Our World in Data for population (estimates to 2023, medium projection after), with official national estimates for 18 countries including the United States, China, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and Turkey. The total counts subscriptions, not people, since one person can subscribe to several of these channels, and channels made by YouTube itself, such as Music and YouTube Movies, are left out as in Wikipedia's list of the most-subscribed channels. Each channel is counted from zero on the day it was created (KIMPRO from the end of July 2022, before its first upload) or from its earliest archived count, and YouTube has shown subscriber counts rounded down to three significant figures since September 2019, so the counters run straight between those observations. The ten channels racing each other on the right are, in their September 2026 order, MrBeast, T-Series, Cocomelon, SET India, Vlad and Niki, Stokes Twins, Kids Diana Show, KIMPRO, Like Nastya and Zee Music Company. The same ten are followed all the way back, so this is not the top 10 of each year.
