And that’s just at the bottom of the chart — its top side features numbers that are even more impressive.
Chart Toppers
October 2023 may have been MrBeast‘s best month on YouTube, and that’s really saying something. Jimmy Donaldson‘s primary channel led our latest Global Top 100 after pulling in 2.6 billion views during the tenth month of the year. MrBeast outdid his own lofty standards by earning three consecutive #1 finishes in our weekly charts during October. If Donaldson wants to catch T-Series and earn YouTube’s most-subscribed title (and the North Carolina-based creator has said that he wants to do that), he’ll need to keep pulling in blockbuster viewership totals on his main YouTube hub.
The channel MrBeast is chasing ended up right behind him in October’s Global Top 100. T-Series has led this chart in the past, but it settled for second place after coming up just short of MrBeast’s YouTube-leading total. The Indian record label added 2.57 billion monthly views to its lifetime total, which is the highest among all eligible channels. Over 17 years, T-Series has picked up more than 236 billion lifetime views on YouTube while building up its subscriber base. MrBeast will need about 46 million more subscribers before he catches T-Series’ total of 252 million.
The latest #1 finisher in our weekly charts is also the third-ranked channel in our monthly count. T0ys and Colors has equaled its best-ever performance in our charts by offering an agreeable mix of colorful long-form uploads and equally bright Shorts. That formula brought it 2.08 billion monthly views during our most recent 31-day measurement period. Only three channels managed to crack the two-billion-view benchmark over that span.
ZAMZAM ELECTRONICS TRADING fell one spot after placing third in the Global Top 100 a month ago, but the Dubai-based channel is still one of the biggest draws in the world on YouTube Shorts. The brothers who run the store have blended tech content with social commentary to bring their humble corner store to the world. ZAMZAM picked up 1.91 billion monthly views in October, which brought its lifetime YouTube traffic above 15 billion hits. The most-watched channel in the United Arab Emirates reaches 35 million subscribers.
KL BRO Biju Rithvik rounds out this month’s global top five. The short-form hub was one of 29 Indian channels in this month’s Global Top 100. It tallied 1.74 billion monthly views.
Top Gainers
Malaysia’s sole representative in the Global Top 100 is a 28-year-old creator who has cultivated a worldwide audience. Siow Wei, who goes by Siowei on her social channels, is a hungry influencer who has developed a signature brand of comedy.
Siowei’s Shorts are usually fast-paced and filled with a steady supply of punchlines. But don’t let the rapid-fire gags fool you — Siowei knows how to set up a humorous scenario and deliver on it. In her most-watched YouTube Short, which has accrued more than 268 million views, she asks a simple question: What can students get away with if they’re willing to be total tattletales?
The scholastic setting of this video shows us one of Siowei’s most common themes. She likes to appeal to younger viewers, and the comedic setups in her videos sometimes double as educational opportunities. Siowei’s ability to reach viewers of all ages and cultures propelled her to a record-high finish in this month’s Global Top 100. She snagged 799.1 million monthly views, which more than doubled her YouTube traffic month-over-month. She rocketed up to 54th place in our worldwide ranking and now has more than four billion lifetime views on her primary YouTube hub.
Siowei is showing off her many talents on a world stage. Turns out that the statement “I’m talented at Roblox” may have been a bit of an understatement.
