Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has once again demonstrated his extraordinary impact, this time within the digital landscape.
Yesterday, the football legend achieved a remarkable milestone on YouTube by amassing 10 million subscribers in record time.
His channel, UR Cristiano, which was launched on August 21, quickly captivated millions of fans worldwide, reaching the 10 million subscriber threshold by the end of its inaugural day. As of this report, the subscriber count has soared to 15.6 million.
Ronaldo’s accomplishment eclipsed the previous record set by Hamster Kombat, which took a full week to achieve the same subscriber count.
The swift rise of Ronaldo’s channel highlights his immense global appeal and the excitement surrounding this new endeavor.
In just the first 90 minutes after its launch, the channel attracted over 1 million subscribers. The growth continued to accelerate, with the total surpassing 6 million within six hours.
The initial triumph of UR Cristiano can be credited to its engaging and varied content. The channel kicked off with several intriguing videos, including a teaser trailer, an entertaining quiz game featuring Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez, and a segment showcasing Ronaldo’s encounter with his wax figure at Madame Tussauds.
These videos not only offered fans a peek into Ronaldo’s personal life but also highlighted his charismatic nature, further endearing him to his international audience.
Ronaldo expressed his appreciation to his fans on social media, affectionately, referring to them as ‘SIUUUbscribers,’ a playful nod to his famous ‘Siu’ celebration.
He conveyed his excitement in a heartfelt message:
‘A present for my family … Thank you to all the SIUUUbscribers!’
Ronaldo also thrilled his children by revealing his ‘Gold Play Button,’ awarded by YouTube for surpassing 1 million subscribers.
“The wait is over. My @YouTube channel is finally here! SIUUUbscribe and join me on this new journey,”
Ronaldo posted, inviting fans to join him on this new digital adventure.
