Top 5 YouTube Channels by subscribers

Question

How to find the top 5 YouTube channels, and analyze the subscribers and views of those channels?

Introduction

To find the channels list with more number of subscribers I'm using "socialblade website".I web scraped the top 5 Youtube channels by subscribers and collected data.I Cleaned the data collected and Visualized the results in BarGraphs.

Libraries Required

1.BeautifulSoup

2.Pandas

3.Requests

4.Matplotlib

5.Seaborn

Procedure

Web Scraping a YouTube Website https://socialblade.com/youtube/ by sending html requests.

Pickling the data.

Importing data in to pandas

Cleaning the data.

Visualizing the results using Seaborn and Matplotlib.

Conculsion

From both the graphs we can clearly state that "T -Series" is a channel with highest number of subscribers and views.

We can also see that the 2nd ranked channel "PewDiePie" has more subscribers than the 4th ranked channel " Cocomelon - Nursery Rhymes" but not the views.

From the above two graphs, I can conclude that even if a channel is top rated based on the number of subscribers, they may have less number of views.
