Lets do the math: 800 million views for 8 million dollars; so to make $8.000 you need 800.000 Youtube views... this is in no way an example for other artists; and "Gangman style" is a exception in music popularity grow, like "Asereje", "Macarena", "Smells like teen spirit" or "Mambo #5" (is just that YouTube didn't exist back then).
- zalew 14y agowhat's "Smells like teen spirit" doing on that list? Nirvana weren't one hit wonders.
- jaredsohn 14y agoThe list seems to be of very popular songs; it just so happens that many of the songs are one-hit wonders.
- rgbrenner 14y ago800mil/8mil=100 views per $ so to make $8, you would need 800 page views That's $10CPM, which is a very reasonable rate.
