Roar, the most watched female video of ALL time, N/A? The longevity and consistency it had in order to achieve its feat

Baby Shark is nowhere to be found aswell, kids their power

I wonder why YouTube collapsed so hard as a music streaming platform  seems like just a few years ago smashes effortlessly reached 1b views, yet now it seems videos are DOA once the first day hype is gone.

It got unlucky and spent five weeks at #2 behind Wrecking Ball. huuuuge longevity tho.

 

Sorry is so impressive to me, it spent 9 weeks at #2 behind Hello, then spent 15 weeks at #1, and then another 7 weeks at #2 behind Work From Home. 31 weeks top 2

Gangnam Style really was that bitch.

Now these are what you call SMASHES

Baby Shark would've easily been #1 if kworb tracked it, considering it has consistently pulled 10m+ daily views since the beginning of the year.

This + the fact that it's not convenient at all to use as a streaming platform. People mainly used it to make their playlists without having to buy music or download it illegally, now there's no point with the amount of audio streaming services available.
