- User23 5y agoBaby shark is arguably the most played song ever.
- peterburkimsher 5y agoPlayed on YouTube, yes. But has it been sung more than happy birthday?
- sundvor 5y agoWow, Take On Me doesn't even hit that list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914 Maybe it's because it's the 4k remaster, only out for 11 years? Nonetheless, it's got a couple of hundred views from this household - but tuning more into the acoustic one now which is a masterpiece - and was also featured in Deadpool 2 (sadly not prominently in the Disney Plus version). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xKM3mGt2pE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xKM3mGt2pE Sorry a bit OT; it's kind of my lullaby for getting daughter to sleep, (trying to) sing along with Morten.
- toast0 5y agoI'd guess a lot of these older music videos were posted by many people and the views don't all get aggregated. Interestingly, (yahoo) launchcast could let you watch music videos for free on demand, but couldn't let you pick a song to listen to for audio only because music videos had less onerous licensing.
