Here are some suggestions: Counting Stars, Shake it Off, and Despacito. Check them out and decide which one has the most popularity in your area. You might also be surprised to find out that some videos have more than a billion views! So what&#8217;s the best way to find out what video has the most views on YouTube?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Despacito\"><\/span>Despacito<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&#8216;Despacito&#8217; by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee has broken YouTube&#8217;s most-viewed video record. The song was released in January 2017 and later re-released with Justin Bieber&#8217;s vocals. As of November 1, 2017, the video had over three billion views, breaking the record held by Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa&#8217;s &#8216;See You Again.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Although the song itself has received many awards and has topped the charts several times, the video for the hit song has become an instant hit. The lyric video for &#8220;Despacito&#8221; has clocked up more than 750 million views, while the official video is only three months old. It is now one of the most popular videos on YouTube, surpassing the wildly popular &#8220;Gangnam Styles&#8221; video, which only reached the billion-view mark a few months after its release. The song&#8217;s success has gotten a lot of people talking about the video&#8217;s steamy vibe.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Counting_Stars\"><\/span>Counting Stars<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Counting Stars video by OneRepublic has had over 2.9 billion views on YouTube. It was released in 2013 and quickly became the band&#8217;s most popular single. It also became the number one video in several countries, making it the 13th most-watched YouTube video of all time. Ed Sheeran is one of the most popular artists in the music industry, and he has made several videos that have reached the top ten on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>While OneRepublic usually produces pop hits for other artists, he is best known for his dance-rock singles, like Counting Stars. The music video for this song was released in May 2013, and it reached the billion-view club by early April 2020. It was directed by James Lees and shows a church-like setting, with OneRepublic playing on one floor while a church service is held above.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baby_Shark\"><\/span>Baby Shark<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While it may not be the first song to use the name &#8220;Baby Shark&#8221;, it is the one that has garnered the most views on YouTube. The song has been a hit with children and adults alike. The song has topped the charts for twenty weeks, and reached platinum eleven times. The video also inspired a line of children&#8217;s toys and a television show. And as if that&#8217;s not enough, there are also many other videos starring Baby Shark.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Baby Shark&#8221; by Pinkfong, with over 10 billion views, is already the most watched video on YouTube. That means that it has been viewed by almost every person on Earth. Despite the popularity of the song, it was not without controversy &#8211; in January, former inmates at a US prison sued over the song, and it has since become the second most watched video on YouTube. However, it is still second only to &#8220;Despacito&#8221;, which currently has 47 million views.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shake_it_Off\"><\/span>Shake it Off<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Taylor Swift&#8217;s &#8220;Shake It Off&#8221; is one of the most popular songs of all time, and the video has broken yet another record. It now has more than three billion views across all content. Swift is the only female artist to reach this landmark. While it isn&#8217;t the best-performing song on the site, it&#8217;s still a hit. The song was produced by Norwegian record producer Alan Walker, and features vocals from Iselin Solheim.<\/p>\n<p>This video has become so popular that it&#8217;s now one of the most popular YouTube videos of all time. The song is a childhood favorite, and is believed to have come from a campfire song. The video has since become an online craze, and many versions have been created. Many have included music from Jaws and Ed Sheeran&#8217;s &#8220;Hello&#8221; in their version. The song has become one of the most popular songs on YouTube.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Counting_Stars_by_Wiz_Khalifa_Charlie_Puth\"><\/span>Counting Stars by Wiz Khalifa &amp; Charlie Puth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube has just released its top 100 most watched videos, with the latest being &#8220;Counting Stars by Wiz Khaliffa &amp; Charlie Puth&#8221;. The Pittsburgh native is the first artist to make the top spot, with his track &#8220;See You Again&#8221; featuring the late Paul Walker. The video has more than 4 billion views, outranking Psy&#8217;s &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Another hit single from the 2010s, &#8220;River,&#8221; by OneRepublic features the late actor Paul Walker and has over 4.5 billion views. The song was released as a tribute to Walker, who died in a car crash a few months before &#8220;Furious 7&#8221; was released. The song has since sold more than 1 million copies in the UK and has reached the top of the charts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Video on YouTube Has the Most Views?
