It may only be a small country, but the UK is home to some of the biggest YouTubers in the world.

From superstar vloggers like Zoella, to superstar singers like Adele, there are a huge amount of Brits with millions of YouTube subscribers whose videos have been viewed — in some cases — billions of times.

These are the top 20 YouTube creators from the UK.

Methodology: Video intelligence software company Tubular Labs kindly provided the data for this ranking. The YouTube creators are ranking in order of total subscribers, but the list also includes the total number of video views they have amassed, and Tubular Labs' "influencer score."

The Tubular Labs Influencer Score measures a channel's ability to influence its audience members by looking at more than 10 different metrics including reach, engagement, channel activity, and the frequency at which the channel is updated. Scores range from 0-1,000 and are recalculated weekly from the previous 90 days of data.

20. PointlessBlog: 22-year-old Alfie Deyes has written two bestsellers.

4.6 million subscribers

310 million total views

PointlessBlog is the channel from 22-year-old Alfie Deyes, who vlogs about everything from gaming, to "how to make a healthy smoothie," and collaborations with other YouTube stars.

He has released two best-selling books, featured in the Band Aid 30 "Do They Know It's Christmas?", there's a waxwork of him at Madame Tussauds, and he's currently dating another YouTube celebrity: Zoe Sugg, known as Zoella.
