YouTube Subs for 600 Metal Channels
Hard Rock, Metal, and Punk(ish) YouTube Channel Subscription Numbers
The reach and importance of YouTube and the benefits of maintaining and building successful channels for bands and labels cannot be overstated.
While I’ve covered views pretty extensively, this is the first time I’ve rounded up channel subscription numbers for artists and record labels.
I also included ten metal media outlets and 19 metal YouTubers.
Like every other metric, these figures come with their own contextual caveats.
For example, the biggest videos from several bands live on their respective label channels, which undoubtedly affects the subs for both. A handful of relevant bands simply don’t have a YouTube channel.
As always, if I’ve missed any channels you’d like to see listed, let me know.
