On YouTube, musicians have some of the most devoted fans. This is due to the fact that music sells more than anything else. People enjoy listening to music to unwind, have fun, or because they admire art. However, non-traditional celebrities had difficulty breaking into the YouTube realm since they lacked the same level of visibility as singers, actresses, media figures, and other popular celebrities.
