Top 5 Most Successful YouTubers

You all know how much I love YouTube so in today's post I would like to compile a list of the top five most successful YouTubers in terms of subscribers. I hope you can learn to embrace them in the same way as millions of people all around the world.

1. Smosh

With 11,032,350 subscribers it is no wonder that these two comedic YouTubers have the most subscribed channel. The comedic duo consists of Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla who began the channel in 2005. Smosh are known for their comedic videos but have also created gaming channels, Spanish channels and animation/cartoon channels which have some pretty cool videos. Smosh upload a new video every Friday and you never know what they are going to come up with next. As with all the following YouTubers I highly recommend you check out their videos and subscribe to them while you are there because they really are one-of-a-kind on a site where there are so many similar styled videos.

2. PewDiePie

This Swedish YouTuber with 9,911,844 subscribers is a hilarious video-game commentator who creates some pretty out-there videos. On a site where "out-there" is greatly embraced it is no wonder that he has become such an internet sensation. His channel was only created in 2009 so it is amazing how fast he has risen in the YouTube hierarchy. In May of 2013 PewDiePie was awarded the Most Popular Social Show in the inaugural Starcount Social Stars Awards in Singapore. If you are into comedy, games and fun then you really should check out his channel.

3. Jenna Marbles

9,766,233 Subscribers do not lie when they say that Jenna Marbles is one of the best YouTubers around. Jenna Marbles uploads a new video every Wednesday and also writes a blog about different thoughts that go through her mind. Often her videos are a little "out-there" but so are all of the popular YouTube sensations. If you like someone who says what they think than Jenna Marbles is the YouTuber/Blogger for you.

4. Ray William Johnson

Ray William Johnson is the American video blogger, producer and actor who is  best known for his Equals Three (=3) series in which he provides hilarious commentary on viral videos. It is no wonder that this man has become the fourth most subscribed channel with 9,539,823 and has recently made the announcement to upload more equals three videos every week, an announcement that could move him up the YouTube hierarchy. In May of this year he signed a deal to produce a sitcom for the American Television Network FX which just goes to show how YouTube really can change your life as well as help it move beyond your wildest dreams.

5. NigaHiga

The fifth but far from least YouTuber on this list has earned his spot through hard work, dedication and comedy that appears natural. 9,151,836 Subscribers will attest to this and show you how hilarious and funny NigaHiga is. NigaHiga was created in July of 2006 and has since grown into a comedic icon. HigaTV is another of Ryan Higa's YouTube channels which contains vlogs and behind-the-scenes videos of the making of many of his weekly videos. NigaHiga's community has grown immensely over the previous years and it would not be hard to envision him moving further up these rankings in the coming years.

All of the above YouTubers are worthy of their rankings and have worked hard and show pure talent to become as popular as they are. I strongly recommend you check out all of their videos and if you like what you see then do subscribe and maybe you could help bring their rankings up.
