Well, here is a quick breakdown of the most popular channels. You may be surprised to find out that a popular YouTuber could be a relative unknown to some people. PewDiePie, Katy Perry, Wiz Khalifa, and Charlie Puth all have a massive following. But to determine how much of that popularity is actually due to their popularity, you should compare them with the top ten.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Despacito\"><\/span>Despacito<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is no secret that &#8220;Despacito&#8221; has become the most-watched video on YouTube. The song has garnered over 1.2 billion views in less than seven months, surpassing Wiz Khalifa&#8217;s &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221; which took 26 months to reach this mark. The song has grown in popularity on YouTube and continues to attract new viewers on a daily basis. YouTube reports that it has 1.5 billion logged-in users per month and a total of seven billion views.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despacito&#8221; by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee is the most-watched video on YouTube. It has surpassed all previous records by a wide margin. It&#8217;s not surprising, then, that the video has gone viral, with millions of views in less than a month. Although the video has been topping the charts for several months now, &#8216;Despacito&#8217; continues to grow and will become the most-viewed video on YouTube until November 2020. In that time, the video will be overtaken by Pinkfong&#8217;s video &#8220;Baby Shark Dance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PewDiePie\"><\/span>PewDiePie<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether PewDiePie has the most subscribers or not, his videos are extremely popular. The Swedish YouTuber has over 110 million subscribers. His videos have been viewed more than five billion times. However, the YouTube channel&#8217;s analytics show that there is a huge drop-off in viewership as viewers get older. This group makes up only 1% of PewDiePie&#8217;s audience, and the average duration of a video is six minutes. PewDiePie has remained consistent at around 110 million subscribers since April of 2021, and his video views have stayed between 10 and 11 billion.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s true that PewDiePie has the most subscribers on YouTube, his popularity has dropped over time. Despite this, he continues to gain new subscribers on a daily basis. According to YouTube, he has more than 110 million subscribers and more than 3,000 to 9,000 videos on his channel. With his videos, he is the most popular YouTuber in the world, with more than a billion views per video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Katy_Perry\"><\/span>Katy Perry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Taylor Swift has been dominating the YouTube charts for the past several years, Katy Perry has recently surpassed her rival with the number of views she has received. The singer is now the first female artist to hit the billion-view mark. There&#8217;s no stopping her as she has over two billion views on YouTube for her videos. Her most popular song, &#8220;Roar,&#8221; has been viewed over one billion times.<\/p>\n<p>The most popular music video of 2014 has gone viral on YouTube. Katy Perry&#8217;s music video for &#8220;Dark Horse&#8221; has racked up over seven hundred and thirty million views since it was released on Feb. 20. The video features a Twinkie pyramid, Flamin&#8217; Hot Cheetos, Jiff the Pomeranian, and many other cute cameos. It&#8217;s a three minute and forty-six-second-long slice of pop fun. Perry&#8217;s videos continue to dominate the top 10 list with a staggering number of views.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wiz_Khalifa_Charlie_Puth\"><\/span>Wiz Khalifa &amp; Charlie Puth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Psy&#8217;s &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221; has held the record for the most YouTube views for a while, but Wiz Khalifa &amp; Charlie&#8217;s 2015 collaboration &#8220;See You Again&#8221; is now on the top of the list. The two young stars have over three billion views on YouTube, and have become the most popular music videos of the year. Despite the fact that &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221; is a decade old, it continues to attract more viewers than any other music video ever.<\/p>\n<p>The video, which features rap superstar Charlie Puth and hip hop star Wiz, has surpassed Psy&#8217;s &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221; to become the most-watched video of all time. The video, which was posted to YouTube on April 6, 2015, has over 2,895 million views and has become the most popular video on YouTube. It has also surpassed Psy&#8217;s previous record, held by &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221; from July 2010 to November 2012.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Major_Lazer\"><\/span>Major Lazer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As of this writing, Major Lazer has the most views on YouTube for every song on the album. The group&#8217;s first single, &#8220;Lean On&#8221;, featured French producer DJ Snake and Danish recording artist MO. The track was originally offered to Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, but the duo felt that MO would be more suitable for the track. &#8220;Lean On&#8221; reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number two in the UK charts. It became the most-streamed song on Spotify. It has since gained worldwide attention and has earned over two billion views on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>While most music videos have millions of views on YouTube, the newest video by Major Lazer has more than one billion views. The band&#8217;s newest album, Free the Universe, will be released on 12 March 2013. The band has also announced tour dates for the Fall 2012 season. Here&#8217;s a look at the top videos of the year.
