Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has once again demonstrated his immense global influence, this time in the digital realm. The 39-year-old Portuguese icon is known for his exceptional achievements on the pitch. He has now broken new ground. He set a YouTube record for the fastest channel to reach 20 million subscribers. He achieved this in less than 24 hours.
Ronaldo launched his YouTube channel, UR Cristiano, on Wednesday, August 21, instantly captivating millions of fans worldwide.
The channel debuted with several videos. These included a teaser trailer. There was also a fun quiz game with his partner Georgina Rodriguez. Additionally, there was a clip of Ronaldo meeting his wax figure at Madame Tussauds.
In an astonishing feat, Ronaldo’s channel gained over 1 million subscribers in less than 90 minutes. This makes it the quickest to achieve this milestone. Within just six hours, the channel’s subscriber count surged past 6 million. By the end of the day, it had surpassed the 10 million mark. This broke the earlier record held by Hamster Kombat, which took seven days to reach the same milestone.
Ronaldo’s channel, which now boasts nearly 12 million subscribers, continues to grow at a rapid pace.
The football legend took to social media to thank his fans. He playfully referred to them as “SIUUUbscribers”—a nod to his iconic celebration.
“A show for my family … Thank you to all the SIUUUbscribers!” Ronaldo wrote while showing off his ‘Gold Play Button’ to his children.
