Youtube's Most Popular Stars By number of subscribers
Youtube stars shine brightly these days. The online video service has become the launching pad for some pretty major careers. Stars are making millions of dollars on the platform, with more rising to fame every day.
There are, of course, a few ways of gauging stardom on Youtube. Some would say total number of video views. Certainly Ed Sheeran with his billion plus views would rank near the top of this list under that metric. Aussie singer Troye Sivan, whose official video for 'Youth' has 75 million views wouldn't crack the top 50.
But how many of those are bot clicks and paid views? Other than Google, who knows really?
We decided on the total number of subscribers. Here are the top English language YouTube stars by numbers. (We did not includeSpanish Language YouTubers who are heavy in the all time top subscription counts). This list reflects individual people who signed up to see the channel of their favorite YouTube star.
