If you&#8217;re looking for the most popular song on YouTube right now, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. We&#8217;ve compiled a list of the top ten songs on YouTube as of February 2019, and ranked them from best to worst for their popularity. We&#8217;ve also listed some of the most-viewed music videos of the month, including videos, playlists, and songs that aren&#8217;t even on the top 100 list.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Running_Up_That_Hill\"><\/span>Running Up That Hill<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Netflix&#8217;s hit Stranger Things has spawned numerous records. Its most recent season has also helped Kate Bush&#8217;s 1985 hit &#8220;Running Up That Hill&#8221; reach another milestone &#8211; it has now crossed one hundred million views on YouTube. The episode featured Kate Bush&#8217;s hit, which re-entered the charts for the first time in decades. Read on for more information on how Stranger Things has helped &#8220;Running Up That Hill&#8221; reach this milestone.<\/p>\n<p>The song has over four hundred million streams worldwide, and 147 million in the US. Streaming data from the Chart Supervisory Committee shows that &#8220;Running Up That Hill&#8221; has grown 16,867% in popularity since its release earlier this month. It was also the biggest-selling single on Billboard this week, a rare feat for a pop song. With this kind of popularity, it&#8217;s easy to see why it&#8217;s causing such a stir.<\/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>Taylor Swift&#8217;s sophomore album, &#8220;Faded,&#8221; is an attempt to capture a more mature and self-aware side of her. Swift&#8217;s lyricism is both reflective and honest, recognizing her own faults while maintaining a childlike enthusiasm for love affairs. &#8220;Faded&#8221; is a surprisingly accessible record, even if many fans may not have heard it before. The album also strays away from the trashy pop and country of her past releases, painting a more realistic picture of her own life.<\/p>\n<p>The newest song from &#8220;Faded&#8221; has been released as a single at midnight on May 6. The track was teased in the trailer of her Amazon Prime Video series. The song was reportedly the first song Swift wrote for 1989, and it is co-produced by Nathan Chapman, who also produced all of Swift&#8217;s previous albums. It is a soft ballad, and Swift&#8217;s voice sounds more vulnerable and less processed in the new version.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maroon_5s_V\"><\/span>Maroon 5&#8217;s &#8220;V&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>V is the fifth studio album by American rock band Maroon 5. It was released on August 29, 2014. It was the band&#8217;s first release under the new label Interscope Records, after they transferred from A&amp;M Octone Records. V features songs such as &#8220;Stand by Me,&#8221; &#8220;Peep This,&#8221; and &#8220;Hurt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The band has a rich history of popular music, but they&#8217;ve been trying to gain mainstream success for years, and they&#8217;ve come a long way since their breakout single &#8220;Hands All Over.&#8221; With &#8220;V,&#8221; they admit they&#8217;re desperate for mainstream success and hired co-writers to ensure the album&#8217;s commercial viability. The results are mediocre, but there are some memorable tracks. Although Levine&#8217;s falsetto needs to be lowered, the band&#8217;s newest release is worth hearing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Biebers_Despacito\"><\/span>Justin Bieber&#8217;s &#8220;Despacito&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Spanish-language original of &#8220;Despacito&#8221; is currently the most popular song on YouTube, but that didn&#8217;t stop Justin Bieber from re-making it with English lyrics. With over half a billion views, &#8220;Despacito&#8221; has become one of the most popular songs on YouTube. As of November, the Spanish-language version of the song is the most-watched song on YouTube, beating out Justin Bieber&#8217;s &#8220;Despacito&#8221; remix.<\/p>\n<p>The music video of Justin Bieber&#8217;s hit has over 3 billion views. Although this is still a relatively small number, it has already overtaken the &#8220;Baby Shark Dance&#8221; as the most-watched video on YouTube. However, it is expected that &#8220;Despacito&#8221; will remain the most-watched video on YouTube until November 1, 2020, when Baby Shark Dance by Pinkfong will surpass it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Counting_Stars\"><\/span>Counting Stars<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Counting Stars isn&#8217;t a romantic song, the lyrics do suggest that there is an underlying theme of failure, disappointment and regret. In addition to romantic love, the song may also reflect the struggle of an addict to reach their personal goals. The struggle can be physical, mental or financial. And despite what one might think, there is no such thing as a fairy tale ending.<\/p>\n<p>OneRepublic&#8217;s song &#8220;Counting Stars&#8221; debuted at number 32 on the US Hot 100 in July, but dropped to No. 80 by the end of the decade. The song went to number one on the UK charts for two weeks and is now in the Top 10. It has also climbed the worldwide best-selling singles chart, reaching No. 5 this week. This success has made Counting Stars the band&#8217;s biggest global hit to date.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"222\" width=\"398\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wZl3j0I0fiA\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Most Popular Song on YouTube Right Now?
