The YouTube Wars
With YouTube clearly one of the most popular websites on the Internet, it is interesting to see just how big the most-viewed clips actually are.
In a world where music seems to be the main attraction (a majority of the Top 10 YouTube clips are music videos (the highest non-music clip is ‘Charlie bit my finger’ in 3rd)), the fans are casting their verdicts as Justin Bieber’s ‘Baby’ battles Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’ to become the most watched video on the most celebrated video site.
The battle between pop stars seems to be spearheaded by the younger generation of artists and fans, with Miley Cyrus (6th & 10th), Lady Gaga (2nd) and Justin Bieber (1st & 5th) all found in the Top 10, sometimes twice with different songs.
Gaga used YouTube as a key factor in her rise to ‘Fame’, with her debut single making a whopping count in You Tube and has never looked back since. Her most watched single, ‘Bad Romance’ has been viewed a mammoth 248,961,678 times with the popularity spiralling like never before. However, she has been overtaken by the Canadian pint-sized sensation Justin Bieber. ‘Baby’ has edged past Gaga with a YouTube count of 254, 331,791 views making him the current YouTube all-time rankings leader.
However, with Gaga only 5M back, his reign isn’t undisputed. Only time shall tell who triumphs in this web war but, at the moment, the pendulum is in the direction of the 16-year-old ‘Baby’-faced singer.
For a chance for your ‘vote’ to count, here are links to both of the videos that are tussling for top spot:
The next milestone for these two videos is 300M – but who will get there first?
