Youtube Music Videos:Most Viewed List

In the most watched video category list of YouTube, YouTube Music video has been showing strong sign of the popularity of music in the entire entertainment industries. The top three most viewed YouTube videos ever are basically music videos. The current trend of user activities in YouTube indicates that the rock and pop stars are surpassing the movie stars in terms of popularity.Though YouTube videos are not any landmark of measuring the popularity of anyone. Given the fact of increasing popularity of Internet among normal users who are also the buyers of music and movie CDs, there is no way to absolutely bundle out the strong connection between the real and online world popularity of any product or any person.

The stats of the total number of visits of each video was taken on 22 December 2010. The upload time of all the listed videos are in reference with this date.

This top 10 list of YouTube music videos are also dominating the most watched video category of YouTube. All the first three videos-Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Sakira-are the most watched videos in the history of YouTube as well. I think you have noticed one very interesting trend from this hub and that is all the most watched videos belong to young stars and the topmost watched video belongs to the youngest star in the music industry-Justin Beiber. This is a clear indication of how much popular the Internet is to young people, and not only the music industry but all other industries that are some way concerned or connected to the interests of the young people are also much depended on Internet for their success. The social impact of YouTube is undeniable and all the conscious users or YouTubers need to use this popular media with more care so as any contents or video shared by users do not create any negative effects to the vast majority of young users of this great video sharing channel.
