Cristiano Ronaldo, the footballing star, has once again rewritten the record books. His newly launched YouTube channel ‘UR. Cristiano’ has achieved an unprecedented feat, becoming the fastest channel to reach one million subscribers in just 90 minutes.
The momentum didn’t stop there. In under three hours, the channel had garnered three million subscribers, a testament to Ronaldo’s global appeal and anticipation of his new digital venture.
This achievement has sparked conversations about his influence compared to other sporting giants like Lionel Messi and popular celebrities such as Beyoncé. One X user, Chino, succinctly summed up the sentiment, stating, “This only explains one thing. It explains why Cristiano Ronaldo should not be compared with Messi and more importantly, never be insulted by being compared with Beyoncé. This is what we call crazy influence. He’s out of this world.”
As Ronaldo’s channel continues to gain subscribers at an astonishing rate, the question remains: Can he surpass YouTube behemoths like MrBeast, who currently boasts over 311 million subscribers? Given Ronaldo’s immense popularity and the rabid fanbase he has cultivated over the years, it’s a possibility that cannot be dismissed.
Ronaldo’s social media dominance is undeniable. He holds the title of the most followed person on social media, with approximately 917 million followers across all platforms. Instagram alone has over 600 million followers, while Facebook and X each have over 100 million. These numbers testify to his immense popularity and influence as a global sports icon.
As the live updates on Ronaldo’s channel subscriber growth continue, the world watches with bated breath to see if the football legend can achieve another historic milestone. Will he be able to dethrone MrBeast and claim the title of YouTube’s most subscribed channel? Only time will tell.
