Most-Viewed YouTube Music Videos

I am ashamed to know most of these.

They should accept Rihanna for love the way you lie.

Oh god, this is what people call music? These are the most viewed videos? This generation is awful. I wish I wasn't a part of it. Where are Queen, Iron Maiden and AC/DC when you need them?

I knew only seven. Then I checked some of the missed songs... Well, it was better not to know it.

"Most-Viewed Youtube Videos" & "Name the musical acts who recorded the most-viewed music videos of all-time on Youtube." The exclusion of non-music videos ruined the quiz for me. Even though after a little research I found this excludes only 1 video: "Charlie Bit My Finger – Again!"

Dear everyone: we get it. This is not "music." You don't like these songs. This generation is terrible. You're the only kid at your school that likes Pink Floyd. High-five.

I say this as someone who doesn't care for pretty much anything mainstream: get over yourself. This music is for tweens & young teens, which is why it dominates YouTube. There is plenty of good music today, but it's not what tweens listen to, because tweens have always liked and will always like cheesy, mass-marketed stuff. Every generation detests the culture of the one that follows it. Your parents probably think what you like is stupid, and their parents thought the Beatles were stupid. Katy Perry's music is terrible...but so what? You really resent 13-year-old girls dancing to it in their bedrooms? This is somehow a problem for you? Let them have a little fun. There will always be someone who can look down on what you enjoy. Maybe instead you just let people enjoy themselves.

Psy had 2344 bil

Could you please accept just Telo? My Portuguese wasn't good enough to get Michel right.

I've never heard a single song on this list, but it's not my generation so I didn't expect to. I was happy to get 5 just by guessing names I've seen on other quizzes. And yeah, I think music from the '60s is the best, and yeah, my parents hated it almost as much as I hated disco which came next.

This really needs updating. Adele's Hello already has 800,000,000 views.

i love the song propuesta indecente, thats how i know it!

this list needs updating.

Oh Jeezuz, I've gotten old. I have no idea about today's music. Got only 4/24. Also, why are some of these already filled in?

guessed 'cake' first for let her go even though i knew it wasnt the answer...

I am pretty sure it was Bailamos and not Bailando by Enrique

Please! No more comments saying "these are so called 'musicians'" and "what happened to good music?"

In your opinion, what you call good music is good for you, whereas other people would find current music good. You only think your music is 'good' because it is the music from your youth, and it may bring back happy memories. I am 16 years old, and the music I like most is chart music from around 2006 to 2014, although I like some current music too, however I do find that some music recently I haven't enjoyed whatsoever. This is because it isn't similar to the music I listened to when I was younger, therefore it sounds strange and new, not familiar to me, thus I "don't like current music". Keep your opinions to yourself, and don't go spreading hate, there is already enough of that in the world to go around.

The title should be "Most viewed songs on Youtube" not "Most viewed Youtube videos" Its misleading.

I really love Chris Bliss Juggling Final where he juggles to music from the Beatles ....... marvellous ......... see http://chrisbliss.com/amazing-juggling-finale-page/

you could change it to most viewed music videos.

nice quiz

please update

This needs to be updated.

You should update this, See you Again has overtaken Gangnam Style.... why do I know that?

despacito is the most viewed now

Just saying. But this quiz definitely needs to be updated

What're the odds of at least twenty cantankerous adults and edgy socially outcasted teens complaining about how all of this music is terrible and that the seventies were better as opposed to letting people enjoy what they want to enjoy?

Just hit me that Rihanna doesn't have one classic single or album

despacito

Needs another update, I think.

I can never remember the name of the guy that actually did Uptown Funk, since all the video and most of the singing is Bruno Mars. I wish he was an acceptable answer.

I recognize 4 of these with the answers. I thought Perfect was by Pink.

I tried Nine Inch Nails, Shawn Mullins, and Wham. I really don't know current musicians.

Got 6/27 and I'm seventeen. Most of these I haven't even heard of before.

how bout old town road LOL

Got 5 right, heard of 4 more.. This one wasnt for me. I am not great on history either, or rather local geography (cities and areas you only know when you are form that specific country or just like geography) But often I pick something up there. I think after this quiz I have forgotten all the answers again.

2:04 left. I follow this kind of things a lot, but I think it would be more challenging if we got the artist and should guess the song.

Alan Walker and The Chainsmokers are amazing ♡

I am proud to say, that the only one I knew was "Gangnam Style". :-P

November Rain Guns n roses?

Baby Shark?

Wouldn't baby shark count?

Baby Shark, as much as I hate it, should be on here.

agreed. And there's like no rap songs on this. No wonder I did bad.

Where's Twenty one pilots with Stressed out, Ride and Heathens?!

Man, only 7/27. I recognised most of them when I saw the answers though.

I mostly only use YT for looking up old songs I've got in my head for whatever reason, but I do occasionally like to put my baseball cap on sideways and pretend I'm a youngster again...

This needs an update!

You really need to update this

Faded so now at 3.1 billion and I every single one of these have brown tremendously.

We need an update

I tried to type in Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” because of course I would…

Please accept Bruno Mars for Uptown Funk, and Rihanna for This is What You Came For. In general, it would be nice if this quiz was more generous with allowing artists besides the one with first billing.

Shouldn’t baby shark be here?

Bottom 5% club :)

What's the best song on this list

Some of these songs were ubiquitous. Some of these songs don't really feel like they were bigger than songs that didn't make the list. It makes me wonder if click farms play a role or if there's a whole generation absorbing music on YouTube instead of MP3 or Spotify who define what the biggest hits are.

I was a DJ for years, and I enjoy learning about music--even the 1910s. I have to say that there isn't really much difference between pop music today and 60 years ago. You remember the good songs from the 60s and 70s... But do you remember Captain and Tenille? Do you remember Sugar Shack by Jimmy Gilmer? Do you remember Alley-Oop by the Hollywood Argyles? The vast majority of popular music has always been unadulterated trash that is designed to be catchy, not artistic. Sometimes you get random artistic people with an original sound and get popular, like Stressed Out, or a very popular act who demands to be allowed to do their things and be artistic, like the Beatles. The only legitimate criticisms of new music, in my opinion: 1. Artists do not actually have to sound good live (e.g. auto-tuned Snoop). 2. Physical appearance is as important as the actual music (thanks MTV). 3. The industry is dominated by a few producers, so songs all have a samey sound (e.g. Maroon5... awful).

The only “Closer” belongs to Nine Inch Nails.

"Omg music today is so bad and cringey! My music taste is way better because I listen to (insert generic 80s rock band here)!"

can you please let people write bruno mars for uptown funk because in my eyes most people know it as his song and not mark ronsons

i would say baby shark is a music video
