About Billboard
Being popular is about the only thing the most-viewed YouTube videos have in common with their top-performing predecessors. If these view counts are anything to go by, the video-sharing site could be considered a leading platform for music videos and kid-friendly content rather than just the meme-worthy viral videos the site was known for in its early days. Although Justin Bieber became the second musical artist to achieve a 1 billion-view video on YouTube, he reached that status with Baby , not the current tenth video on our list. Interestingly enough, Sorry proved to be his most popular YouTube video by far, with more than 3 billion views to date. Sorry was the 22nd video to reach the billion-view mark. However, the music video quickly proved itself, becoming one of the fastest to reach the 2 billion mark. It easily sailed on to 3 billion without much trouble. Educational entertainment for children is slowly taking over the rankings for the most viewed videos on YouTube. The video itself is narrated in Russian and teaches kids the names of different colors in Russian. The video has a slow pace some scenes are a bit long , but has funny, silly moments that will appeal to younger audiences.

And not just that Brian Wilson never actually learned to surf. And then it gets really bizarre when the pair harmonizes balefully about whales that have beached on the shore.
