Some examples are &#8220;Despacito,&#8221; &#8220;Counting Stars,&#8221; &#8220;Baby Shark Dance,&#8221; and &#8220;Hello.&#8221; If you&#8217;re wondering what the most popular song on YouTube is, keep reading to find out! It&#8217;s not hard to guess: the answer to that question will be something that you&#8217;ve heard a million times.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Despacito\"><\/span>Despacito<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The music video for &#8220;Despacito&#8221; has become the most popular song on YouTube. It has received nearly 1.2 billion views in just seven months, eclipsing the previous record of &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221; by Wiz Khalifa, which took 26 months to reach the same milestone. Despacito&#8217;s success shows how widespread YouTube is, with 1.5 billion monthly logged-in users and one hour of mobile video watched daily.<\/p>\n<p>The song has achieved global success, topping charts in 47 countries. It also broke a record as the most-viewed video of all time on YouTube. The video is an instant hit, and was made famous by Justin Bieber, who remixed it in English. The English-language version of the song has garnered more than half a billion views on YouTube. The original song from Luis Fonsi is the most popular video on YouTube, with more than 100 million views since its release in June 2016.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Counting_Stars\"><\/span>Counting Stars<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;Counting Stars&#8221; is a catchy pop song, and with its 2.7 billion views, it&#8217;s no surprise it&#8217;s the most popular song on YouTube. But what makes it so popular? The lyrics are simple, but the song reveals a complex message: greed is a problem in every culture, and money is the root of it all. Instead of worrying about money, we should focus on the simple, everyday things in life.<\/p>\n<p>Counting Stars is a popular song by OneRepublic. It&#8217;s from their third studio album, Native, released in 1995. The song was written and produced by lead singer Ryan Tedder, and released as the fourth single on the album. It topped the charts in multiple countries and reached number two on the US Billboard Hot 100. In addition to that, it has become the most popular song on YouTube ever. The music video, which was directed by James Lees, was one of the most popular videos of all time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baby_Shark_Dance\"><\/span>Baby Shark Dance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Baby Shark Dance video has become the most popular YouTube video of all time. This two minute and 16 second video has garnered over 7.8 billion views. That is equivalent to 43,000 years of playing time, or watching the video once by the entire world&#8217;s population. The song was created and performed by a Korean-American singer, Hope Segoine, and it was released in 2016. The video quickly became a viral sensation in Asia, where it was loved by children and adults alike.<\/p>\n<p>The Baby Shark Dance video became the most popular video on YouTube, and its popularity grew exponentially. It featured two adorable kids performing a dance routine, inspiring the #BabySharkChallenge. The Baby Shark Dance video has become a certified brand. It has even become a popular part of television and has been featured on the most watched list of all time on YouTube. Its success has led to its remixing by a variety of artists, including Pinkfong.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hello\"><\/span>Hello<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most popular song on YouTube is definitely Adele&#8217;s &#8220;Hello,&#8221; but there are also other popular songs that have reached the billion-view mark. In June 2016, Guns N&#8217; Roses&#8217; video &#8220;Dangerous Woman&#8221; reached this mark first. Adele&#8217;s music video &#8220;Hello&#8221; became the fastest to enter the billion-view club. Both songs were released in the same year.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most popular YouTube music videos is the Baby Shark Dance. The song is popular among children, and it originated as a song for a campfire. It has since inspired a whole online dancing craze, including the popular Baby Shark Challenge. Various versions of this popular children&#8217;s song are available online, and some even incorporate music from Jaws! Whether you&#8217;re looking for a song for your YouTube channel, the Baby Shark Dance is definitely worth checking out.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adeles_Hello\"><\/span>Adele&#8217;s Hello<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Why is Adele&#8217;s Hello the most popular song on YouTube? Adele is a singer and songwriter who has written songs that explore intimacy and loss. Her style of writing is so accessible and her lyrics resonate with listeners of all ages. Adele&#8217;s sultry voice is incredibly powerful, and her ability to captivate listeners is evident in her music. Listening to her songs, you&#8217;ll feel that you&#8217;re experiencing them in a new way.<\/p>\n<p>The video for Adele&#8217;s Hello has received millions of views. Its sultry opening has been hailed as &#8220;iconic&#8221; by the BBC. It has also prompted comparisons with an 80s hit from the 1980s. According to Lionel Richie, the new song reminds him of one of his hits from the 80s. That&#8217;s a testament to the song&#8217;s popularity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taylor_Swifts_Faded\"><\/span>Taylor Swift&#8217;s &#8220;Faded&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The song has received worldwide attention for its mellow harp infused chorus. Its popularity has led to over 600,000 units sold in the UK, and rumors of a Netflix series based on the song are circulating. However, the song isn&#8217;t about the band&#8217;s fame or popularity. It is about the artist&#8217;s desire for simplicity, and she delivers on that front with her latest video.<\/p>\n<p>The video is full of references to Taylor Swift and her U Squad. She once called the media a &#8216;fake squad&#8217;, which consisted of only tall, skinny Caucasian women. She later reveals them to be mannequins. However, the song&#8217;s popularity has gone beyond that. The song has been played on YouTube over a billion times and has over 3.2 billion views on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1gKs4pIaJHs\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"409\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Most Used Song on YouTube?
