There are more and more content creators on Youtube, but only a few manage to make a living from this activity. Nevertheless, the platform has also led to real success stories over its 17 years of existence.
And we are going to take stock of the popular channels in France and around the world.
The safe bets are still there
Launched in February 2005, YouTube does not seem close to giving any place to any competition. Last February, the figures specified that approximately 1.7 billion unique visitors visit the famous site each month. In total, 14.3 billion monthly visits had been counted. This reign without division relegates other giants of the Web like Facebook, Instagram or Amazon very far behind.
In France, YouTube has 52.6 million users, which represents 77% of the country’s total population. Inevitably, the creators who rage on the platform set off daily to attack this huge audience. Let’s discover together the top 10 French channels with the highest number of subscribers.
- Squeezie (17.2 million subscribers)
- Cyprien (14.4 million subscribers)
- Norman makes videos (12 million subscribers)
- Lama Faché (9.07 million subscribers)
- Tibo InShape (8.6 million subscribers)
- Amixem (7.7 million subscribers)
- Michou (7.6 million subscribers)
- Rémi Gaillard (7.3 million subscribers)
- McFly & Carlito (7.1 million subscribers)
- SYMPA (6.8 million subscribers)
They dominate the world… or almost!
As expected, Squeezie is still well established at the top of the leaderboard. He has been in first place since 2019. There are also top names like Cyprien, Norman and Rémi Gaillard who have been making videos for several years. But all these beautiful people do not weigh very heavily against the stunning figures obtained by the most popular channels in the world.
- T-Series (221 million subscribers)
- Cocomelon – Nursery Rhymes (139 million subscribers)
- SET India (138 million subscribers)
- PewDiePie (111 million subscribers)
- MrBeast (100 million subscribers)
- Kids Diana Show (99.3 million subscribers)
- Like Nastya (98.5 million subscribers)
- WWE (89.8 million subscribers)
- Zee Music Company (86.3 million subscribers)
- Vlad and Niki (84.3 million subscribers)
Of course, the world ranking is radically different from that reserved for France. Many companies (particularly located in India) are listed. The very controversial channels that feature children are also extremely well ranked. Finally, the eternal PewDiePie also holds its rank. In short, no big surprises to get your teeth into.
