PM Modi surpasses 20 million YouTube subscribers; sets global benchmark

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has achieved a historic milestone as the first world leader to amass over 20 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. This feat establishes Modi's channel as the most subscribed among top global leaders, surpassing his closest competitor, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsanora, by a significant margin.

With a modest 6.4 million subscribers, Bolsanora's channel pales in comparison to Modi's digital reach, showcasing the Indian Prime Minister's unparalleled global popularity. The second-ranking leader is former Brazilian President Jair Bolsanora, whose subscriber count stands at a modest 6.4 million, merely a fraction of Modi's.

When it comes to views, Modi's channel continues to dominate, recording an impressive 2.24 billion views in December 2023. This figure is an astonishing 43 times higher than that of Zelenskyy, who holds the second-highest number of views globally. Modi's success on YouTube reflects his digital prowess and extensive global appeal.

Modi's channel, with its 4.5 billion (450 crores) video views, outshines the competition, setting the benchmark for political leaders on YouTube. This achievement underscores his global popularity, consistently highlighted in various surveys, including Morning Consult, where he has been consistently rated as the most popular global leader with an approval rating exceeding 75 percent.
