PewDiePie becomes the world's first solo creator to hit 100m subscribers
Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg has finally hit 100 million subscribers.
Though he lost the battle to be the first channel to hit the milestone to Indian music channel T-Series, last night he finally crossed the threshold himself, becoming the first solo creator to do so.
To put that into perspective, there’s no-one else even close to this achievement; as Forbes points out, 5-Minutes Crafts is the closest with 60 million subs.
Despite a publicly fractious relationship, even YouTube took time to celebrate. “Married to marziapie. Revived our love of Minecraft. Reached 100 million subscribers on YouTube. What a month to celebrate and congratulate PewDiePie,” said a tweet on the platform’s official Twitter account.
