You may also be surprised to learn that your favorite video might not be on the list. Here, we&#8217;ll cover all of the top contenders, from Psy to Justin Bieber.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Psys_song_Cocomelon\"><\/span>Psy&#8217;s song Cocomelon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The video for Psy&#8217;s song Cocomelon has been viewed more than five billion times. Psy is a Korean rap artist best known for his humorous dance moves and slicked-back hair. He became an unlikely global star after releasing his debut album in 2001. The video has garnered both positive and negative reviews, and it received a huge amount of attention. While many people found it inappropriate, it was ultimately a hit and topped multiple charts around the world.<\/p>\n<p>The most popular video on YouTube is usually a music video. The video with the most views is ranked by the number of views. Currently, the number one most-viewed video on YouTube is &#8220;Cacomelon&#8221; by Psy. As of January 2022, Psy&#8217;s song Cocomelon has garnered more than five billion views. However, there are many more videos that have made the top ten.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Biebers_song_Sorry\"><\/span>Justin Bieber&#8217;s song Sorry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The video for the song Sorry by Justin Bieber, from his fourth studio album, has more than seven billion views on YouTube. The song was released in October 2015 and reached the top spot in thirteen countries, including Canada. It also sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. The music video was made in New Zealand and featured dancers and a choreographer. While it was intended as a simple lyric video, the video quickly reached a billion views and is now the most watched video on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>The video is about Bieber&#8217;s relationship with Selena Gomez. Although the song is about the pain he feels, it is full of hope for the singer. His song is so successful that it has surpassed all records of music videos released over the past year. It is arguably Justin Bieber&#8217;s most popular video to date. But despite the popularity of the song, there are some reasons why it is the most popular.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pinkfongs_Baby_Shark_Dance\"><\/span>Pinkfong&#8217;s Baby Shark Dance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The world has seen its share of viral videos. Pinkfong&#8217;s Baby Shark Dance has become the most popular video on YouTube, surpassing other famous videos such as Despacito and Toy Story. The video was released in 2015 and has already received seven billion views. The entire world&#8217;s population is about 7.8 billion, so if every human being watched it once, only two billion would be left.<\/p>\n<p>The success of the series has resulted in a TV animated series on Nickelodeon. Another show, Baby Shark&#8217;s Big Show!, will debut in the U.S. in December 2020. It is also being considered for a sequel. The sequel will include games and interactive performances. The baby sharks are already being promoted in commercials and TV shows. With such a massive fan base, the video will continue to rise in popularity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Despacito\"><\/span>Despacito<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despacito is the most popular song on YouTube, capturing the hearts of young people everywhere. The song, sung by Spanish singer Luis Fonsi and featuring rapper Daddy Yankee, was released in January 2017. It has clocked up more than one billion views in 97 days. It was the first video to surpass two billion views and was the fastest to reach that milestone. Despacito is also the most watched video in YouTube history, surpassing &#8216;See You Again&#8217; by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth.<\/p>\n<p>During the music video&#8217;s premiere, Daddy Yankee and Luis Fonsi performed the song live. The crowds were ecstatic. The video&#8217;s popularity made the song one of the most streamed videos ever on the site. The song is also the fastest-rising non-English language video to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, which has been running for 59 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top 10 Most Viewed Videos on YouTube In this article, we will discuss the top 10 most popular YouTube videos, including Pinkfong&#8217;s Baby Shark Dance, Justin Bieber&#8217;s Sorry, Psy&#8217;s Cocomelon, and Despacito.
