T-Series to unseat PewDiePie as top YouTube channel

PewDiePie

• PewDiePie has been the top subscribed YouTube channel
  since 2013. 
• Now, his spot might be taken by Bollywood production
  company T-Series.
• Viewers are watching PewDiePie and T-Series’ subscriber
  counts play out in real time. 

PewDiePie, the controversial Swedish YouTube personality famous
for his livestreamed video game commentaries, has maintained his
spot as YouTube’s top subscribed channel for five years. But now,
he’s about to lose his top spot to T-Series, a Bollywood
production company known for its lavish music videos. 

So far, PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix
Kjellberg,  has amassed a fan base of more than
66 million subscribers. Currently, T-Series has nearly 63 million
subscribers and counting. Now, viewers are watching T-Series’
tally increase in real time wth a livestreamed display of
PewDiePie and T-Series’s subscriber counts. 

As the Verge points out, even if T-Series overtakes PewDiePie
as YouTube’s most subscribed channel, he still won’t lose his
seat as the top-subscribed individual channel on the site. For
now, there’s still plenty of time for PewDiePie to compete:

it’s estimated that it will take about two more months for
T-Series to catch up.
