The first video to surpass one billion views was the Korean song “Gangnam Style” by Psy. It may be hard to believe, but it’s been 10 years since then. From 2012, we had to wait for another border to be broken.
10 billion views on YouTube
The first song to break the 10 billion view mark is the children’s song “Baby Shark”. It took her six years to reach this level. The song was posted on the Pinkfong channel in 2016. By 2018, it had been watched two billion times, and in 2020 it became the most watched content in YouTube history.
The famous song also has a dark side to it. And it’s not just that it is the bane of parents, grandparents and guardians who dream at night. In October 2020, the New York Times reported that three Oklahoma prison workers were charged with punishing prisoners by forcing them to listen to Baby Shark for two hours non-stop.
