YouTube video hosting is now known to everyone. What is not there. Someone, someone is chasing positive assessments, and someone just wants to kill time.
Most popular youtube videos by views
PSY:Gagnam style
Oddly enough, the first place is still held by a South Korean guy hiding under the pseudonym PSY.
His Gagnam Style still occupies the first line of the rating, since the number of people who watched this video is simply off scale.
It has already been watched by two and a half billion people. This is an absolute YouTube record. The company even had to tweak the viewer counter structure as it simply didn't support those numbers. It is thanks to this amount that Gagnam Style occupies the first line of the rating.
Under the pseudonym PSY is a simple Korean guy Park Che Sang. He began writing songs and music while still a student at Boston University. By the way, PSY is an abbreviation for the English word Psycho.
Well, that explains a lot. I must say that PSY did not immediately become popular. Before the release of Gagnam Style, almost no one was interested in his songs. The success of Gagnam Style is hard to explain.
Probably, the humorous content of the video played an important role here. Be that as it may, Gagnam Style set an all-time record for the most views on YouTube.
Wiz Khalifa: See You Again
The soundtrack for the 7th installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise is the second most viewed video on YouTube. American rapper Wiz Khalifa made an absolute hit with his song.
Much of the popularity lies in the fact that the video is a tribute to the untimely departed Paul Walker - the star of the movie "Fast and Furious". Many people liked him.
Perhaps this is why the clip has nearly two billion views. At the end, the inscription "For Paul" appears. And the clip itself is replete with cuts with Paul's participation.
Wiz Khalifa himself is considered a fairly successful performer, whose tracks topped all the charts. Cameron Jibril Thomaz is hiding under such an exotic name.
He began his career as an artist in 2005, released his first album in 2006, and in 2007 exploded the charts with songs from his second album. Since 2007, Wiz Khalifa's career has begun, which has not yet been completed.
As for the video itself See You Again, it became so popular only thanks to the presence of the late Paul Walker.
Many have nostalgia - hence the unrealistic number of viewers. Remove Walker - and no one needs the video right away. But, nevertheless, it is in second place in the ranking of the most frequently viewed.
Mark Ronson. Uptown Funk (feat Bruno Mars)
An English sound producer, performer and composer recorded a joint track with Bruno Mars and shot a video. What is the "trick" of this video is still not clear. However, it got 1.5 billion views.
Perhaps it's all about Bruno Mars. It is unlikely that the video would have been so popular without it. On the other hand, without Ronson, there would be no commercial at all.
Mark Ronson in Britain is known primarily as a producer. It was he who helped Amy Winehouse and other stars of the English show business "get on their feet."
Mark has his own group, which released the first album in 2003 and immediately "blew up" all the British charts. After that, little was known about the group, but Mark managed to grab the Brit Awards for his achievements in music.
He is currently working on projects with other performers and writing music for the Royal Ballet. Uptown Funk has become a kind of "vacation" for Ronson.
And the rest was a success. No wonder the clip got into the most watched videos on YouTube by the number of views.
Taylor Swift:Blank space
Cutie Taylor with her track Blank Space is comfortably located at the fourth position of the rating. The clip scored one and a half billion. Many are confused. What is the difference for? Apparently, there is only one explanation - the song is very good. The video itself is unremarkable.
Taylor Swift started her career in 2006. During this time, she managed to receive music awards, star in a couple of films and in one series.
At the moment, her musical career is taking off. Her songs are written in pop country style. It is thanks to the prefix "country" that her songs are so popular in the USA. They match the mentality of the Americans.
As for the Blank Space video itself, it is imbued with the American way of life. A kind of "hodgepodge" of stereotypes. Most likely, most of those who watched the clip are citizens of the United States of America. Thanks to the Americans, this video made it to the most popular on YouTube.
Adele:Hello
The British singer Adele closes the list of most frequently viewed videos with the track Hello and a billion views. The pop-soul song was liked by many, and the video received such a number of views.
The song also has a touch of R&B style, which is very popular with today's youth. But the main advantage of both the track and the video is the voice of Adele herself.
Adele started her career in 2007. Throughout her career, the singer was nominated for many music awards, and almost all of them received. Adele repeated the success of The Beatles.
She, like the Beatles in due time, was declared "the best performer of BBC Sound", having listened to only the first song. By the way, Adele is a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Few performers can boast of this.
Most Popular YouTube Videos Among Bloggers
Several people stand out among the video bloggers on YouTube. The first is a friend under the nickname EeOneGuy, who “just makes videos”, as noted in his description. EeOneGuy has a whopping 9 million subscribers and over 1,900,000 views
Naturally, from each viewing a "pretty penny". Everyone's favorite Stas Davydov, with his channel for reviewing videos from the Internet, is in the honorable fifth place. His program This Is Well gained popularity with many, surpassing +100500.
The most popular videos on YouTube in Russia and the CIS
Among all the popular videos on YouTube, there are also those whose number of views "jumped" in just a matter of days. Very soon, perhaps they will become as popular as Adele or Taylor Swift.
Among them are the blogger EeOneGuy with the video "Do it your way", and the old swearing speaker Shnur with the song "Exhibit", and the group VIA Gra, seducing with its forms.
All these "comrades" deserve to take an honorable place in the ranking of the most watched videos on YouTube.
Conclusion
The rating of the most popular videos on YouTube is a capricious and unpredictable thing. It seems that only now you were “on top of Everest”, and after a couple of days you slipped into “the bowels of Hell”. Of course, this assessment is not particularly objective, as it may be on the part of some unscrupulous bloggers.
Well-known performers, as a rule, do not suffer from this. But still, views on YouTube are a kind of "litmus test" reflecting the degree of popularity of a particular video.
Hundreds of hours of videos are uploaded to YouTube every minute. In this article, we bring you the fifteen videos that have garnered the most views since YouTube launched in 2005.
In contact with
The first YouTube video to reach one million views was a 2005 Nike ad starring Ronaldinho. Less than ten years later, a video appeared that gained not a million, but a billion views. It was the hit 2012 hit Gangnam Style by South Korean artist Psy. The video for Gangnam Style managed to bypass even Justin Bieber with his song Baby and become the most watched video on the Internet.
So here are the top 15 most watched YouTube videos of all time.
15. Major Lazer & DJ Snake - Lean On
Lean On is an electronic dance song that topped the charts in Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands, Mexico, New Zealand, Finland, Denmark and Switzerland and was in the top 5 in the US and UK.
Most of the video was filmed in the Indian state of Maharashtra, but some of the footage was captured in Stockholm.
14. Adele - Hello
British singer Adele's song Hello is the lead single from her third studio album, 25, released in 2015. The hit became the first song in the United States to sell over a million digital copies in just a week.
Collaborating with IMAX cinemas, Hello became the first music video in history to support IMAX. Among other things, Hello was the first song to reach over 100 million views in a short period of time on Vevo.
13. Katy Perry - Dark Horse
The video for Katy Perry's song Dark Horse is ahead of Hello's hit by only 2 million views. It is worth noting, however, that the hottie's video was uploaded to YouTube 12 months earlier. It is possible that in the near future the number of views of Dark Horse will not grow so rapidly.
12. Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud
Ed Sheeran is one of the most subscribed artists on the Spotify music service, so his success on YouTube is quite natural.
In the video, Sheeran performs a ballroom dance with a participant in the American version of Everybody Dance. Before taking on the shooting, the singer had to learn the necessary dance moves. Sheeran devotedly trained for five hours a day for several weeks while on tour!
11. Enrique Iglesias - Bailando
In the top 15 most viewed YouTube videos of Bailando, Enrique Iglesias is the first but not the last reggaeton song. The artist has also released English and Portuguese versions of the song, but the Spanish version has received the most views. Among other things, the video for Bailando is the first video in Spanish to reach over 1 billion views.
10. Katy Perry - Roar
Katy Perry is one of only two artists whose videos made it to the top 15 most viewed videos on YouTube. Her composition Roar can be called a passing song, but by some miracle she managed to top the charts in some countries. Immediately after its release, fans accused Perry of plagiarism - Roar is very reminiscent of Sarah Barellis's hit Brave. Barellis herself did not make the top 15.
9. Taylor Swift - Shake it Off
“Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate,” this simple line made the hit Shake it Off immortal, spawned countless memes, and was even quoted by Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory.
8. Maroon 5 - Sugar
The music video for the song Sugar by Maroon Five is the most creative on this list. The director is David Dobkin, creator of the comedy "Crashers". The film crew headed by him, along with the Maroon Five, appeared without asking for other people's weddings, much to the surprise of the newlyweds in Los Angeles. Only one of all the guests knew about the upcoming surprise, but the name of the group was not disclosed.
7. Justin Bieber - Sorry
Surprisingly, the only clip of Justin Bieber to make it into the top 15 most watched on YouTube is not his once popular song Baby. The 2015 hit Sorry does boast a catchy tune, but the video itself seems a bit boring. Unless you like the looping dance moves and the mid-1990s fashion.
6. Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk
Uptown Funk sounds like the 1980s, thanks to (or in spite of) what the song stayed at number one in the US charts for 14 weeks in a row and received a Grammy and Brit Award.
Unfortunately, this is another song from the top 15, the creators of which are accused of plagiarism. There have been five separate lawsuits filed against Ronson and Mars for copyright infringement. Two of them were settled before the start of the trial. In particular, a few more people have been added to the official list of Uptown Funk contributors.
5. Psy - Gangnam Style
Of course, Korean artist Psy's Gangnam Style couldn't help but make the list of the most watched YouTube videos of all time. The song is a real international phenomenon - it took the first line of the charts in 30 countries of the world, and the painfully familiar dance was performed by world leaders and sports stars. Former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon even called her "the driving force behind world peace." Moreover, Psy met with Ban Ki-moon at the UN headquarters in New York.
However, it is also worth noting that the artist's second hit, called Gentleman, could not beat or even come close to the Gangnam Style record.
So, this week the popular site “YouTube” turns 10 years old! In honor of this important event, we would like to present a list of the most popular videos of the service. Interestingly, most of the videos in the top are music videos. Well, the first place, of course, will not come as a surprise to anyone.
