List of most-viewed YouTube videos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by with reliable sources.

YouTube is an American video-sharing website headquartered in San Bruno, California. Although the most-viewed videos were initially viral videos, such as "Evolution of Dance" and "Charlie Bit My Finger", the most-viewed videos were increasingly related to music videos. Since Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" in 2009, every video that has reached the top of the "most-viewed YouTube videos" list has been a music video. Some of the previously most-viewed videos are no longer listed on the site.

In November 2005, a Nike advertisement featuring Brazilian football player Ronaldinho became the first video to reach one million views.[1]

Billion View Club

An early metric of a video's popularity was the so-called Billion View Club, denoting videos which had succeeded in reaching over 1 billion views since their initial upload.[2]

In December 2012, "Gangnam Style" became the first video to reach one billion views.[3] By June 2015, only "Baby" had also managed to pass this threshold, but, by October 2015, a total of ten videos had done so,[2] and the number grew further to 100 in February 2018.[4] Considering older videos that pre-dated YouTube's creation in 2005 but were added later:

  • "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses became the first video made prior to YouTube's creation to reach this threshold by July 2018.[5]
  • "Numb" by Linkin Park was the first 2000s video predating YouTube to reach 1 billion views in November 2018.[6]
  • "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen was the first 1970s video (and pre-1990s video) to reach 1 billion views in July 2019.[7]
  • "Sweet Child o' Mine" by Guns N' Roses was the first 1980s video to reach 1 billion views in October 2019.[8]

With numerous videos readily clearing one billion views by 2018, more interest has been on two and three-billion views and higher metrics. In May 2014, "Gangnam Style" became the first video to exceed two billion views.[9] "Despacito" became the first video to reach three billion views in August 2017,[10] four billion in October 2017,[11] five billion in April 2018,[12] six billion in February 2019[13] and seven billion in October 2020.[14] "Baby Shark Dance" became the first video to reach eight billion views in February 2021 and the first video to reach nine billion views in July 2021.

As of November 2020, sixteen videos have exceeded three billion views, seven of which exceed four billion views, three of which exceed five billion views, two of which exceed six and seven billion views. "See You Again" became the second video to reach three billion views in August 2017,[15] followed by "Gangnam Style" in November 2017.[16] "Shape of You" became the second video to reach four billion views in January 2019,[17] followed by "See You Again" in February 2019.[18] "Baby Shark Dance" became the second video to reach five billion views in April 2020,[19] followed by "Shape of You" in October 2020. "Baby Shark Dance" became the second video to reach six billion views in July 2020 and seven billion views in October 2020.

The majority of these videos in the Billion View Club have been commercial music videos by popular artists, but the list has included oddities, typically programs aimed at children. Such videos include two episodes of the Russian animated cartoon Masha and the Bear, a version of "The Wheels on the Bus" by the British animation studio Little Baby Bum, and "Johny Johny Yes Papa" from children's stations LooLoo Kids and ChuChu TV.[20] Various versions of the song "Baby Shark" in total amassed more than five billion views by January 2019, with the original version posted by Pinkfong having exceeded two billion views previously.[21] The original video by Pinkfong is now the most viewed video on the site. On October 29, 2020, Baby Shark surpassed 7 billion views, and on November 2, it passed Despacito to become the most viewed video on YouTube. On February 23, 2021, Baby Shark surpassed 8 billion views, becoming the first (and so far only) video to do so. On July 20, 2021, Baby Shark surpassed 9 billion views, becoming the first (and currently only) video to do so.
