2019 has been unreal. So many amazing things happened, there were ups and downs as well, new records were made, and many champions were crowned. It has been a great year yet. The below mentioned are some top headlines of 2019:-
1.T-SERIES BECOMES FIRST YOUTUBE CHANNEL TO PASS 100 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS
Indian YouTube channel T-Series has become the first to pass 100 million subscribers on the youtube platform. Presently it has 113+ million subscribers. India's T-Series, a profile that hosts music videos and movie trailers from the region, has made history and it is a big achievement for India. PewDiePie also hit 100 million subscribers a few weeks after the T-Series. PewDiePie becomes the first individual YouTube creator to hit 100 million subscribers. PewDiePie lost his race to 100 million to T-Series but it’s far more impressive than he’s hit the milestone as an individual creator, and no one is even close to him. Third place on the site behind him and T-Series is 5-Minute Crafts with 60 million.
2.Avengers: endgame becomes the highest-grossing movie of all time

3.england crowned as the winner of the cricket world cup 2019
Cricket World Cup 2019 final was a thrilling match and has been hailed as the greatest One-day game in history but deserved a better way to determine the result. In the final at Lord's, both New Zealand and England scored 241 runs in their allotted 50 overs and sent the match into a super over. The super over too ended in a tie with both teams having scored 15 runs each. The ICC's tie-breaker rule then helped England claim their maiden World Cup title with a superior boundary count. The rule was criticized by many fans, cricketers and critics. I think there should be another Super Over to decide the winner, instead of considering the number of boundaries scored by both teams. Ben Stokes played a pivotal role to help England claim their maiden World Cup title and has been nominated for the 'New Zealander of the Year' award along with New Zealand captain Kane Williamson.

The dreams of sanitation workers were incomplete. How can we accept such a situation," PM Modi said.
