that's interesting. i wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.t-series's popularity booming in the past year is directly caused by the boom in mobile internet access in India. their mobile data consumption increased 500% between january 2016 and january 2017, and is of course still increasing steadily. t-series is also a near 40-year-old production and film company. it is an established brand and one of the most powerful record labels in the country. t-series is also a multi channel network that owns 27 properties, so they have plenty of pop culture brands to bring viewers and subscribers.this kind of growth on youtube is unprecedented, but not impossible. the growth of india's broadband access has been anticipated since as early as 2015. the only thing is, like Nigel mentioned, it's possible Indian youtube accounts are automatically subscribed to T-Series on creation. India has an amount of control over the internet similar to China (though they are far more open), so it's definitely possible.https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/India-s-mobile-internet-boom-goes-supersonic2https://www.forbes.com/sites/cheriehu/2017/09/23/how-india-the-global-music-industrys-sleeping-giant-is-finally-waking-up/#5ec1d13b30bfhttps://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/t-series-youtube-a-lucrative-duet-to-push-music-firm-s-reach-and-revenues-118080701224_1.htmlhttps://www.morganstanley.com/ideas/rise-of-internet-in-india
