As of May 2006, Smosh, Brookers, lonelygirl15, and Fred had the largest subscriber counts. In June 2022, PewDiePe was the most subscribed channel. In addition, T-Series, an entertainment company based in India, was the most popular video publisher in June 2022.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"See_You_Again\"><\/span>See You Again<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;See You Again&#8221; is quickly approaching two billion views on YouTube. Though it has surpassed &#8220;Gangnam Style,&#8221; which was an instant hit and became an internet sensation, it&#8217;s not likely to surpass it. While &#8220;See You Again&#8221; is still adding views each week, it&#8217;s unlikely that it will ever top &#8220;Gangnam Style.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adele&#8217;s tropical pop\/house song, &#8220;SEE YOU AGAIN,&#8221; has already exceeded the previous record by breaking the all-time record for the fastest YouTube video to reach one billion views. Though the video features the popular pop star, it is not a classic. It&#8217;s a dance video with a few references to sharks, and was inspired by an old campfire song.<\/p>\n<p>Another song by Ed Sheeran, &#8220;Shape of You,&#8221; has gone viral, reaching 750 million views in less than a year. The video is also the fastest to reach one billion views, having reached that milestone only 97 days after it was released. The video&#8217;s success proves that YouTube popularity is only rising and will continue to grow. Until 2022, we can only watch it and marvel at its popularity.<\/p>\n<p>The song has become a hit after being featured in the movie &#8220;Furious 7.&#8221; Despite Paul Walker&#8217;s death, the song remains a hit for many. The song&#8217;s video features footage from the movie and even mentions the late actor in the comments section. The video has gone viral because of the death of the star. The song even reached the number three spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for that year.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baby_Shark_Dance_-_Pinkfong_Kids_Songs_Stories\"><\/span>Baby Shark Dance &#8211; Pinkfong Kids&#8217; Songs &amp; Stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;Baby Shark Dance&#8221; has racked up over 10 billion views on YouTube. The song, originally a campfire chant, is a worldwide hit and has become a meme, leading to a hashtag, &#8220;#BabySharkChallenge.&#8221; The video has also spawned many variations, including the iconic Baby Shark Challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The popular children&#8217;s song has also become the number one YouTube video of the year, breaking the record for most-viewed video ever. Its creators say they are on the verge of earning $5.2 million from YouTube streams. In order to create this wildly successful video, they asked their fans to send them pictures of their favorite dancing moments and incorporated them into the music. This campaign has helped Pinkfong to reach a global audience of millions of viewers.<\/p>\n<p>The company is a global entertainment brand that creates award-winning children&#8217;s content. Its video content includes over 5,000 songs and stories. It is available on the YouTube platform and can be streamed on the App Store, Google Play, and Amazon Video. In addition to its music, the company also has partnered with Kellogg&#8217;s and Nestle to create official Baby Shark merchandise.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cocomelon\"><\/span>Cocomelon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The latest YouTube chart success for a channel geared toward preschoolers is the one created by Cocomelon &#8211; Nursery Rhymes. In a single week, Cocomelon&#8217;s videos received more than 1 billion views. The channel&#8217;s subscribers totaled more than 800,000 this week alone. Its creators, an anonymous couple from Orange County, California, have been creating children&#8217;s entertainment videos since 2006.<\/p>\n<p>The original channel has eleven sub-channels, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Arabic, and Hindi. A few weeks later, the channel had hit 100 million subscribers. The success of Cocomelon sparked many more such channels. The channel has also expanded its reach across the globe, reaching more than 100 million subscribers by December 12, 2020. Although this is an incredibly impressive feat for a single channel, it has a lot of competition.<\/p>\n<p>While PewDiePie has a strong following, it is the content on Cocomelon that has made it one of the top ranked YouTube videos. PewDiePie has a long list of disstracks that he releases every few months, all aimed at the Cocomelon YouTube video. His diss track &#8211; &#8220;Cocomelon vs. T-Series&#8221; &#8211; has over 46 million views and has been the most-viewed video since April 2005.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"376\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"210\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ppuNq5LGMVA\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Number 1 YouTube Video in 2022?
