How this ranking is built
Every month we pull the channels charting in this country's YouTube trending feed, then rank the ones based here by subscriber count. For each of them we also compare every recent video to that channel's own median — a video at 5× its channel's normal is a format taking off, not just a big channel being big.

The same ranking, market by market.
Frequently asked questions
How often is the United Kingdom ranking updated?+
Once a month. Each edition is dated at the top of the page, and we keep the previous month's positions so you can see who moved up or down.
How do you decide a channel belongs to United Kingdom?+
A channel is included when it charts in United Kingdom's YouTube trending feed and either declares United Kingdom as its country or declares none at all. Channels that explicitly declare a different country are listed separately, under "Breaking in from abroad".
What does the multiplier next to a video mean?+
It's the number of times that video outperforms the median of its own channel. A video at ×8 got eight times the views that channel normally gets. We use the median rather than the average so a single viral hit doesn't distort the baseline.
Where does the data come from?+
The official YouTube Data API — public subscriber counts, view counts and trending charts. No scraping, no estimates.
Why are subscriber counts rounded?+
YouTube itself only publishes rounded figures above 1,000 subscribers. We show exactly what the API returns rather than inventing precision.
