YouTube: The Top 100 Most Watched Videos of All Time

You Tube:

The Top 100 Most Viewed Music Videos of All Time

YouTube has become the 21st century’s version of MTV; that is, it is the go-to place for music videos. On December 1, 2012, “Gangnam Style” by Psy became the first music video to surpass one billion views. Since then, more than five hundred music videos have passed that mark. You can see a full list of those videos here. This page captures the top 100 videos. The first number indicates the number of views in billions.

Note: if there are multiple versions of a song (such as an official video, a lyric video, or live performances) the numbers have been consolidated into one figure as long as all the versions are the same song by the same performer.
