It wouldn't surprise me if popular channels got access to the raw tracks from the studio (for whatever the normal license terms are to use the full copyrighted song in your video - a share of the advertising). Popular is key - you need to get popular doing analysis of work nobody has heard of first. Once you are popular on YouTube everyone wants you to advertise for them.
