Today is the day when the Baby Shark ate the world – the most viewed internet video of all time eclipsed the number of people in the World.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While a random stat, it is incredible to see how far YouTube<\/a> and its creators have come in 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top 5 most viewed videos are all music videos:
1. Baby Shark Dance 7.8B
2. Despacito 7.2B
3. Shape of You 5.2B
4. See You Again 4.9B
5. Johny Johny Yes Papa 4.7B<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five of the top 10 most viewed are for kids. Check out Moonbug Entertainment<\/a> for the best kids content on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favourite music video on YouTube is this ‘under viewed’ gem: https:\/\/lnkd.in\/gdDaEUS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
