T-Series, India’s largest music label and film studio, is no longer the most subscribed YouTube channel in the world. Instead, it has been taken by Jimmy Donaldson, an American YouTuber popularly known as Mr.Beast. He shared the news on social media, posting a screenshot comparing his subscriber count with that of T-Series.
“After 6 years I finally got my revenge on PewDiePie,” MrBeast wrote.
MrBeast also noted that his channel gained its most subscribers in a single day on June 1, with 2.1 million subscribers.
Earlier in 2023, the American YouTuber fully endorsed Swedish YouTuber PewDiePie and expressed his intention to win over Indian music companies.
Currently, the MrBeast YouTube channel has 268 million subscribers, 2 million more than T-Series.
