T-Series is leading by more than 60,000 subscribers at 91,774,917, while PewDiePie has 91,705,546.
The battle between the two channels has been ongoing on a while. Even T-Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar started the #BharatWins campaign on social media, urging people to help make T-Series the world’s most subscribed YouTube channel.
The T-Series YouTube channel was launched on March 13, 2006. It has 29 sub-channels and features songs and film trailers.
