Beating PewDiePie, T-Series Becomes The First YouTube Channel To Hit 100 Million Subscribers

T-Series from India has just become the first YouTube channel to hit 100 million subscribers. With the achievement, it manages to beat PewDiePie whose subscriber base reaches 96 million.

In recent times, the YouTube channel of the Indian company has beaten that of PewDiePie many times. In February 2019, PewDiePie was beaten by T-Series in only some minutes. One month later, T-Series continued to beat the Swedish YouTuber for a longer time.

The battle between T-Series and PewDiePie has begun since October 2018. Before that, PewDiePie held the crown on the YouTube platform in the 5-year continuous period. However, with the impressive growth rate, T-Series finally gains victory with the persuasive result.
