Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson has broken yet another record in his all-conquering career, with his main account becoming the most popular YouTube channel on the planet. The MrBeast channel overtook the music channel T-Series on Sunday with 269 million subscribers and, a mere two days later, has already raced further ahead with 271 million subscribers.
T-Series may be familiar to some, thanks to Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg's unsuccessful campaign to beat the channel himself. Pewdiepie is still enormous, of course, with 111 million subscribers of his own, but after being overtaken in late 2018 was never able to topple T-Series despite a subs drive, with the creator at the time observing that "all it took was a massive corporate entity with every song in Bollywood."
