It was announced in the YouTube Festival 2019 that there is a total of 36 Malaysian YouTube channels with Gold Play Button as of December 2019.
However, Google Malaysia didn’t disclose the list of local YouTube Gold Creators who have surpassed the 1 million YouTube subscribers milestone.
While we have compiled a list of the richest YouTubers in Malaysia earlier last year, let’s find out which are the leading YouTube channels in Malaysia in terms of subscriber count.
Only 35 YouTube channels are identified and listed in this article, there are at least 1 more missing from this list so do leave a comment below if you know who they are.
Do take note that the statistics in this article were recorded on mid-January 2020 so the numbers can be very different by the time you are reading this.
There are also many Silver Play Button YouTube creators (between 100K and 1M subscribers) knocking on the door so some of them are entering this list sooner or later.
This ranking is sorted by YouTube subscribers count, we have also added Views to Subscribers Ratio metrics. For example, if the ratio is 100, the channel requires 100 views to convert into 1 subscriber.
Here are the popular categories of the top YouTube channels in Malaysia:
1. Entertainment (8 channels)
2=. Film (7 channels)
2=. Music (7 channels)
4. Games (3 channels)
5=. Comedy, People, Howto (2 channels each)
8=. News, Sports (1 channel each)
Guess what? 8 out of 10 top YouTube channels in Malaysia are from Entertainment and Film categories. In fact, all Film channels on this list are actually animations led by Upin & Ipin.
Don’t forget to check out 15 interesting findings at the end of this article.
