Now we officially have a new ‘most viewed winner’ Youtube video of all time ‘title. Pinkfong’s wildly popular nursery rhyme “Baby Shark” surpassed 7.05 billion views to become the most viewed YouTube video ever. For almost three years, the title was held by the catchy song “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee.
“Baby Shark” was released on YouTube in November 2015 and has a catchy tune. The lyrics are also easy to remember, just like the dance movies in the video. The song was recorded by PinkFong, which is a subsidiary of the South Korean company SmartStudy.
The popular nursery rhyme video since last April has seen a massive 181% growth in views, according to a report by The Verge. In April 2019, the video had close to 2.5 billion views. Not only that, since its release, there have been more than 1 million cover videos of Baby shark too.

“Without the love and support of fans around the world, Baby Shark’s new record would have been impossible,” says Min Seok Kim, CEO of SmartStudy, in a press release. “We are very honored by this record and will continue to focus on delivering high-quality entertainment beyond digital platforms.”
The other most viewed videos on YouTube are Ed Sheeran“Shape of You” which has more than 5 billion views and “See You Again” from Wiz Khalifa (4.8 billion views).
