What is the fastest growing YouTube channels ranking?
This ranking shows which of the largest YouTube channels gained the most subscribers and views over the last 30 days. YouTube's API only gives today's counts, with no history, so the site saves every tracked channel's public counts once a day and compares today's snapshot with the one from 30 days earlier.
Every channel is compared between the same two days, and the page states which days those are. You can rank by subscribers gained, by growth as a percentage of the channel's size, or by views gained. While history is still building up, growth is measured from the earliest snapshot. It covers the channels tracked for the top 100 list, not every channel on YouTube.
How growth is measured
1.Daily snapshots
Every day, the public subscriber, view and video counts of the tracked channels are saved.
2.Compare 30 days
Today's counts are compared with the snapshot from 30 days ago, or the earliest one while history builds up.
3.Sort the gains
Rank by subscribers gained, growth as a percentage, or views gained.
Example: gained versus percentage growth
Two tracked channels over the same 30 days:
- Channel A
- 100M → 102M: +2M, +2.0%
- Channel B
- 30M → 31.5M: +1.5M, +5.0%
- By subscribers gained
- A ranks higher
- By growth %
- B ranks higher
growth % = (today − 30 days ago) ÷ 30 days ago × 100
Sorting by percentage surfaces smaller channels that are growing quickly for their size.
What the numbers can and can't show
YouTube's API only gives today's counts, with no history, so growth can only be measured by saving the counts every day and comparing them. Every channel is compared between the same two snapshot days, so the ranking is fair, and the page says exactly which days those are.
Public subscriber counts are rounded down to three significant figures, so small gains on very large channels don't show until they cross the next step; view counts are exact. The ranking covers the large channels tracked for the top 100 list, not every channel on YouTube.
Frequently asked questions
Which YouTube channel is growing the fastest?
The channel at the top of the table, by subscribers gained over the period shown. Sort by growth % to see which grew most relative to its size.
Why does a channel show no subscriber growth?
YouTube rounds counts, so a channel with 300 million subscribers only moves in steps of 1 million. It may have grown by less than one step.
Why is the period shorter than 30 days?
Snapshots only go back to the day tracking started. Until there are 30 days of history, growth is measured from the earliest snapshot.
Can I see the growth of any channel?
Only tracked channels have history here. For another channel, the channel stats tool shows its current numbers and recent uploads.
