There are numerous videos on YouTube that have accrued one billion views or more. But which YouTube video has received the most views? Here is all the information you require.
Since it was established in 2005 as a means of video sharing by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim, the well-known video streaming service YouTube has advanced significantly.
The website later became well-known as the go-to spot for seeing the biggest music videos, movie trailers, and other timeless clips that are still memorable today.
Throughout YouTube’s history, a lot of videos have been quite popular. But which video is currently the most popular on YouTube in 2022?
Which YouTube Video Has The Most Views?
However, as of this writing, “Baby Shark Dance” by Pinkfong Baby Shark – Kids’ Songs & Stories had received 11.3 billion views on YouTube.
Since the days of mouthwatering Chinese food, sneezing infant pandas, and “Charlie bit my finger,” when racking up a million views could launch YouTube producers to fame, much has changed on the platform.
YouTube creators must now surpass the one billion view threshold in order to be on the list of the most popular videos on the Google-owned site, the great majority of which are music videos.
Since its publishing in 2016, “Baby Shark” has been difficult to ignore. Even Luis Fonsi’s music video for his smash song Despacito from 2017 failed to dethrone the catchy children’s tune from the top place. It comes in second place, though, with 7.9 billion views.
Additionally, a number of musicians—including Shakira with “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”)—made it into YouTube’s top 30 list. Justin Bieber’s song “Sorry” and Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” are two examples.
It’s challenging to imagine someone unseating “Baby Shark” as the most-watched YouTube video given the stats’ continued dominance.
