About this chart race
At the end of 2019 the most-followed account on TikTok was Loren Gray, with 36.3 million followers. The platform's own account sat 0.2 million behind her at 36.1 million, and no account on the list had yet reached 40 million. Charli D'Amelio does not appear on the 2019 list at all. Twelve months later she was first with 104.5 million — 2.9 times Loren Gray's 2019 total, and more than the top three of 2019 combined.
Khaby Lame arrived the same way. He is absent until 2021, enters straight into second place at 124.6 million, and takes the lead in 2022 at 153.7 million. He has held it every year since, but the margin has stopped growing: since 2023 he has added 1.0 million followers while Charli D'Amelio added 7.6 million, narrowing the gap between first and second to 3.4 million by 2026.
The fastest climb belongs to MrBeast. He first appears in 2022 at 66.8 million and reaches 135.9 million in 2026 — a gain of 69.1 million, larger than the total movement of any other account on this list over the same four years, and enough to take third place from Bella Poarch in 2024.
The turnover further down is the sharpest thing in the data. Of the ten accounts that made up the 2019 top ten, only two are still in the top ten in 2026: the official TikTok account and Zach King. Loren Gray, first in 2019, is 39th on the same list in 2026 — and she has not lost a single follower. She has 52.7 million, up from 36.3 million. Her count kept rising; the audience around her simply multiplied faster.
