Frequently asked questions

Which small YouTube channels are growing fastest in the United States?

VaniMani Swahili grew +80% in the last 30 days, from about 87,700 to 191,000 subscribers. It's followed by Eve DramaTV and AI Explained Simply. The list covers channels that started the month with 50K–2M subscribers.

How is this ranking calculated?

TubeGrade compares each channel's subscriber count from about a month ago with its latest count, scales the change to 30 days, and ranks the channels by percentage growth. The counts come from TubeGrade's own regular snapshots. YouTube rounds public subscriber counts, so gains are estimates, and readings that look like data errors are left out.

How often is it updated?

Every week. This is the ranking for the week of October 12, 2026; channels near the top are re-checked on YouTube just before it is built.

Why is a channel missing from the list?

TubeGrade only ranks channels it tracks — 8,974 in the United States — and only when it has a fresh reading plus one from about a month earlier. A channel is also left out when its growth can't be confirmed, so this is not a list of every channel on YouTube.

What is a breakout channel?

A channel that started the month with 50K–2M subscribers and grew by at least 10% in 30 days. Big channels add the most subscribers in absolute terms; breakout lists surface smaller channels whose growth is accelerating — often the most useful ones to study.
