During the video, he brought out Tom Brady to visit an expensive yacht and play football with him. This video was loved by fans so much that it is on the route to surpassing his previous most viewed video. Building on this success, MrBeast himself is on the route to being at the top of the internet.

MrBeast surpasses the second-most subscribed YouTube channel

Recently, MrBeast surpassed the second-most subscribed YouTube channel, Cocomelon. Many fans are stating this spike in popularity is from the various collaborations and giveaways MrBeast has been doing recently. The stats MrBeast has been racking up are impressive in themselves. He has been growing at an impressive average of 7.17 million monthly subscribers. Furthermore, all videos on the main channel alone have amassed over 27 billion views!

With MrBeast becoming the second-most subscribed YouTube channel, fans are now hoping he keeps growing at this rate to come out at the top. They want MrBeast to carry out the battle between brand channels and content creators.

This battle started when PewDiePie and T-Series went head-to-head to become the most subscribed YouTube channels. PewDiePie lost that battle to T-Series who are still the current reigning champion.

Now fans have found another competitor to support in the form of MrBeast. They are pitting him against the brand channels to get the YouTube throne. Although it will take him almost 100 million subscribers more to beat the top subscribed channel. But with the fans supporting him in large numbers, this too seems possible.

Multiple fans are coming in support of MrBeast as the new challenger for the throne of T-Series. They have voiced their support for him through their comments on a Reddit post. Comments like, “Time for MrBeast to cook!” and “Revenge for Pewdiepie” have started raging in the comments section.
