These days none of the top creators on YouTube are sole-channel warriors anymore—many have two or three secondary channels some of which are themselves in the Top 100 list. Johnson’s animated music video channel yourfavoritemartian is a Top 20 powerhouse of its own with 1.6 million subscribers on 260 million total views.
“When they told me I’d reached 5 million, I just couldn’t believe it because I honestly feel like I know every single person,” said Johnson on the milestone. “Obviously, I can’t individually know 5 million people, but I appreciate each and every one of them and I think if I’m lucky enough to hit 10 million—I’ll have to plan better and do something special. Like give that person a free turkey.”
Ryan Higa is still nipping at Johnson’s heels however, keep track in a solid #2 position at 4.7 million subscribers and just over 1 billion total views for his nigahiga channel.
