T-Series set to dethrone PewDiePie from YouTube top-spotAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
Feb 13 (AZINS) Bollywood music giant, T-Series is on course to overtake Swedish vlogger PewDiePie at the top of the YouTube channel subscribers chart in the coming days. T-Series is not even 25,000 subscribers behind PewDiePie in the race for YouTube top spot.
PewDiePie has been most subscribed YouTube channel for the last six years.
If T-Series surpass PewDiePie in YouTube subscribers chart list, it will become the first non-English-language channel to hold top spot on the world's most popular video platform.
The number of followers for PewDiePie decreased as top online gaming platform Roblox banned it after the Swedish YouTuber streamed himself live in a bid to remain at the top of YouTube's most-subscribed channels.
T-Series is drawing near to eclipsing the Pewd’s subscriber account, and it doesn’t seem like the Swedish YouTuber will get any more support through Roblox content after the ban.
The T-Series vs PewDiePie battle has been raging for months now.
In January 2019, both the YouTube channels crossed the major milestone of passing 80 million-subscribers number.
The war saw many of PewDiePie fans indulge in massive online campaigns to get more subscribers. Some even hacked worldwide printers, Google Chromecasts, smart TVs and even defaced Wall Street Journal.
PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, has been the world's most-subscribed YouTuber since 2013.
T-Series is a household name in India since the 1980s. The music label is led by Bhushan Kumar, the son of T Series founder Gulshan Kumar who was assassinated by the underworld mafia D Company in 1997. T-Series has 29 TV channels in several Indian languages.
