You might recognize the name &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221; from one of the most popular pop groups of all time. Or November Rain from BLACKPINK. The list is as long as your imagination &#8211; the video you&#8217;re about to watch has probably been watched by more than a billion people.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gangnam_Style\"><\/span>Gangnam Style<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Psy&#8217;s &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221; video surpassed Justin Bieber&#8217;s &#8220;Baby&#8221; as the most-viewed video on YouTube. The artist recently bought a condo in L.A. and recently joined the Billion Views Club, a group of artists who have achieved that elusive milestone. The song has earned Psy so much fame that he purchased a Blair House condo in L.A., just six months after its release.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Gangnam Style&#8217; is the most-watched video on YouTube. The Korean hitmaker has over five billion views, and has been banned from broadcasting his music video. He also has the most subscriptions, which accounts for his massive following. The song was also one of the most-shared videos on the website. However, the popularity of the song has made it impossible for it to remain at the top.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BLACKPINK\"><\/span>BLACKPINK<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>BLACKPINK&#8217;s &#8216;BOOMBAYAH&#8217; video has crossed the 1 billion mark on YouTube, making it the first K-pop group to do so with their debut music video. The group&#8217;s manager, YG Entertainment, announced the feat on social media. The group has since released several other music videos that have reached the billion mark. Below are the TOP 5 songs that have received over one billion views:<\/p>\n<p>Kill This Love is BLACKPINK&#8217;s most successful music video. It reached the 1 billion mark in September 2020, 17 months after the release of &#8216;Ddu-du Ddu-du.&#8217; It is considered one of the greatest K-pop music videos of all time. The song was originally released in South Korea, where it peaked at number two. BLACKPINK has also worked with popular artists such as Selena Gomez and Cardi B. They were the first K-pop group to perform at Coachella, and are currently signed to Interscope Records.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"November_Rain\"><\/span>November Rain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The video that has reached over a billion views on YouTube is November Rain by Guns N&#8217; Roses. This video was released in 1992 and has accumulated nearly 1 billion views. It is the first music video to reach this milestone before the introduction of YouTube, although it was one of the earliest videos to achieve this milestone. The video&#8217;s popularity has been helped by its confusing storyline, and it&#8217;s not entirely clear why it became so popular. The video also cost the band $1.5 million to produce, making Guns N&#8217; Roses&#8217; investment in the film a solid one considering its success.<\/p>\n<p>The video is nine minutes long, but still has a very intriguing storyline that keeps viewers&#8217; attention. Its long duration likely contributed to its success. It has over one billion views on YouTube and continues to grow. Although it&#8217;s not EDM, it has earned a place in the history of popular music videos on YouTube. This isn&#8217;t a surprising milestone considering how much attention the video has received.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Bieber\"><\/span>Justin Bieber<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A million views is a big number and a huge accomplishment for any artist. Justin Bieber has a huge following. Earlier this year, his hit song Never Say Never broke the billion views mark. Its video lent its title to a 3-D concert film, which was released in February 2011. Justin Bieber&#8217;s other songs also reached the billion-view mark. Peaches, from his Justice album, is one of the latest to break the billion-view mark.<\/p>\n<p>Since his debut, Justin Bieber has been the hottest act on YouTube. He broke the record for most one-billion-view music videos by far. He was the first to do so, but other artists have followed suit. Lady Gaga was the first to hit the milestone, followed by Justin Bieber. The &#8220;Mistletoe&#8221; video has been near the top of the YouTube charts for the past two weeks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ed_Sheeran\"><\/span>Ed Sheeran<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The song &#8220;Thinking Out Loud&#8221; by Ed Sheeran has surpassed three billion views on YouTube. The song is one of the most-viewed videos on the site and is one of just a handful of artists to achieve this feat. The song originally received 3.3 billion views and is quickly approaching four billion. Other videos with three-billion views include Psy&#8217;s &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221; and Luis Fonsi&#8217;s &#8220;Despacito&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thinking Out Loud&#8221; by Ed Sheeran was one of the most popular songs of 2014. The song spent 19 weeks in the UK&#8217;s Top 40 and reached number one. It also reached number one in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Denmark, Netherlands, and South Africa. At the time, it had surpassed &#8216;Gangnam Style&#8217; and &#8216;Shape of You&#8217;, which had each reached over three billion views.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"291\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AEtUIVcYGkw\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"521\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Has the Most 1 Billion Views on YouTube?
