YouTube’s Top 10 Music Videos of All Time Gets Shaken Up
Looking back 5 months ago it is not a huge surprise that the top 10 music videos on YouTube have been shaken up. Of the 7 videos that remain on top, no one would be surprised that Miley Cyrus keeps climbing. Hey video is trying to close the some odd 20 million view gap between her 7 things and all time leading video by Avril Lavigne.
So who got the axe?
After Chris Brown’s public image fiasco his Kiss Kiss video soon lost appeal. The Jonas Brothers join Chris as both their top videos SOS and Burnin Up dropped off to make way for the ladies. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Venessa Hudgens have since taken the spot light.
| Rank | Video | Total Views | Growth |
| 1 | Avril Lavigne – Girlfriend | 126,169,287 | 6,241,715 |
| 2 | Miley Cyrus – 7 Things | 101,595,574 | 17,109,592 |
| 3 | Rihanna – Don’t Stop The Music | 99,353,802 | 10,290,062 |
| 4 | Chris Brown – With You | 98,322,614 | 5,352,389 |
| 5 | Leona Lewis – Bleeding Love | 90,143,495 | 4,096,373 |
| 6 | Alicia Keys – No One | 83,796,856 | 3,606,701 |
| 7 | Timbaland – Apologize ft. One Republic | 77,860,499 | 2,614,388 |
| 8 | Lady Gaga – Just Dance | 77,075,366 | New Addition |
| 9 | Katy Perry – Hot’n'cold | 73,830,418 | New Addition |
| 10 | Vanessa Hudgens – Say Ok Music Video | 72,305,954 | New Addition |
*Growth calculated from May 15th
The interesting thing about the three latest editions to chart is that Vanessa’s video was added 2 years ago while Lady Gaga and Katy Perry have only been on YouTube for a year.
Pay close attention to Hollywood Records and their strategy with Vanessa as they choose not disable the embedding feature. A strategy that has allowed Miley’s 7 things video to amass over 30 million views since last March. Now capping 100 million views on one video alone the strategy seems to be paying off.
Cheers!
