In 2012, Gangnam Style crossed the billion views on YouTube, a historic first. Since then, the billion has almost trivialized. Dizzying figures, such as the score ofAPT.de Rosé and Bruno Mars.
By 50 million views, the clip ofAPT.signed Rosé and Bruno Mars, will cross the course of the 1 billion views. However, the video was posted only three months ago. A dazzling, and impressive success, which is explained by the phenomenon generated around the collaboration between two highly loved artists, including the star of the K-POP group Blackpink.
But, surprisingly, APT. However, is not the video posted on youtube the fastest to reach this course.
Adèle holds the absolute speed of speed
The clip Hellofrom Adèle, reached one billion views in October 2015 in just 87 days, just under 3 months. This record has not been broken since. Just behind, we find Shape of Youfrom Ed Sheeran (97 days), then Slowlyfrom Luis Fonsi (96 days). If APT. Reached one billion in the coming days, so she could still find a place in the top 5.
The billion is now relatively widespread on YouTube for the big hits of pop. But in 2012, this CAP was a real event on the Internet: Gangnam Styleof the Psy singer, was the first video in history to reach one billion. At the time, success could be explained by the virality of the very specific dance associated with video. Today, the clip is 5.4 billion. A figure that is widely exceeded by other videos: Baby Shark accumulates 15 billion (yes, fifteen billion) views, added only nine years ago, followed by Slowly And its 8 billion, after being put online eight years ago.
Can we really get used to such dizzying figures?
