    The video for the song See You Again by American rapper Wiz Khalifa and pop singer Charlie Puth became the second most popular video on YouTube, collecting more than two billion views. The song is dedicated to actor Paul Walker, star of the Fast and Furious films, who died in 2013. The clip was published on YouTube on April 6, 2015, to coincide with the release of Furious 7, the last film in which Walker appeared.

    To date, there are only two videos on YouTube that have managed to gain more than two billion views, while the leader, the video for the song See you again, has not yet been surpassed. The record holder for views is still the video Gangnam Style by South Korean musician Psy. He collected two billion back in June 2014, now this figure is 2.6 billion views.

    Two billion views is a lot. As of August 2016, almost half of the world's population—3.5 billion people—uses the Internet. Even if we take into account that many users watched the same video several times, the figure is still impressive. We remembered several more popular videos that manage to collect at least 1.5 million views in two or three years.

    The third most popular after Gangnam Style and See You Again is the video for the song Uptown Funk by British DJ Mark Ronson and American musician Bruno Mars. The video, published on November 19, 2014, has received more than 1.8 billion views.

    In fourth place is Justin Bieber's video for the song Sorry, which has collected 1.79 million views since October 22, 2015.

    The top five is completed by Taylor Swift's music video for the song Blank Space with 1.75 million views. The video was published on YouTube on November 10, 2014.

    The sixth most popular video was the video for Adele's song Hello - 1.7 billion views. Like Bieber's video, the video was published on October 22, 2015.

    Seventh place - Taylor Swift again, this time with the song Shake It Off. The video with ballerinas, released on August 18, 2014, was watched by 1.62 billion video hosting users.

    The next most popular is the video for the song Lean On, a joint project of the duo Major Lazer and the Danish singer MØ, which has managed to collect 1.6 billion views since March 22, 2015.

    In ninth place was not a music video, but a cartoon. This is the 17th episode of the animated series "Masha and the Bear", the episode is called "Masha Plus Porridge". 1.593 million views were collected in 4.5 years - the cartoon appeared on YouTube on January 31, 2012.

    The top ten most popular videos are closed by the Spanish version of the video for the song Bailando by Enrique Iglesias, which appeared on the Internet on April 11, 2014. To date, the video has been viewed by 1.59 million users. Moreover, the English version turned out to be not so popular (199.5 thousand views since June 2014).

    The vast majority of all the “tops” on the Internet are associated with some positive things. But sometimes you can deviate from the usual norms. That is why I decided to prepare a short article about 10 videos on YouTube that, for one reason or another, received a lot of dislikes. It is clear that almost all of these videos are music videos (it is quite possible that you have already seen some of them), but this does not make the situation any less interesting.

    10th place. Justin Bieber – Boyfriend

    I think none of you doubted that Justin Bieber would be in this collection. His video for the song Boyfriend at the time of writing the lyrics collected 781 thousand dislikes. Of course, this is quite a lot, but if you look at the overall picture, it’s not all bad. The 2012 video boasts 514 million views and 2.3 million likes!

    9th place. Nicki Minaj – Stupid Hoe

    Another video from 2012, but which definitely falls under the “everything is bad” concept. Nicki Minaj's video currently has 96 million views. At the same time, there are 500 thousand likes, and there are an order of magnitude more dislikes - 811 thousand. I have nothing against the work of this singer, but after watching only 15 seconds of the video, I can’t help but agree with all those people who gave it a thumbs down.

    8th place. Message from Rick Perry

    In eighth place with an indicator of 828 thousand We have dislikes for one of the two non-clips in our selection – Rick Perry’s address to Barack Obama. I don’t want to go into the nuances of his words, because here our opinions may differ. I’ll just say that the video turned out to be a real failure: with 9 million views, only a little more than 3 percent of likes - 30 thousand.

    7th place. Nicki Minaj - Anaconda

    And again the Nicki Minaj video. Her video for the song Anaconda gained 1.1 million dislikes. Many? Yes, very much! But in general, the situation is not so bad: 573 million views and 2.5 million likes. By the way, the video is from 2014.

    6th place. Miley Cyrus – We Can't Stop

    In sixth place we have Miley Cyrus with the video We Can’t Stop. There is no complete failure here either, but due to the fact that the video has collected 661 million views, it is clear that there are enough dislikes - 1.2 million. At the same time, there are more likes - 2.3 million.

    5th place. Miley Cyrus – Wrecking Ball

    Fifth place – and again Miley Cyrus. But this time with a video for the song Wrecking Ball. Here too 1.2 million dislikes, but at the same time there are more views (in comparison with We Can’t Stop) - 827 million. Everything is good with likes too – 3.1 million “thumbs up”. As you can see, mostly very popular videos with a lot of views get a lot of dislikes. It is clear that creating content that absolutely everyone will like is very difficult.

    4th place. PSY – GANGNAM STYLE

    In fourth place we have PSY with the video GANGNAM STYLE. He collected 1.4 million dislikes (which seems like a lot), but considering other indicators, this is simply negligible. 2.5 billion views and more than 10 million likes. Such things. True, this performer has no other videos that are even a little closer to such data.

    3rd place. Friday – Rebecca Black

    I think there will even be people among you who personally disliked this video... In third place we have Rebbeka Black with the video Friday. What do we have? So, 91 million views, only 547 thousand likes and... almost 1.9 million dislikes. True, the video is from 2011 and the singer managed to change her style during all this time.

    2nd place. YouTube remembers everything

    And another non-clip. Last one this time. The guys received a reward button from YouTube and began to do something with it. As a result, their video received 18 million views, 432 thousand likes and a little more than 2 million dislikes.

    1st place. Justin Bieber – Baby

    Well, I don’t think anyone even doubted our “winners”. Of course, this is Justin Bieber with the video for the song Baby. He pulled away from his closest pursuer by 3 million dislikes, collecting 5.8 million“thumbs down.” At the same time, there are 4.2 million likes and 1.3 billion views. This is how we live. Video from 2010.

    That's all. You can see a playlist with more than 450 of the most downvoted videos on YouTube here link.

    In order to make money on the Internet, many users launch channels on YouTube.


    The idea is good, but without high-quality videos and competent promotion, you will never be able to earn big money. Content plays a key role, and by publishing everything, you risk that your videos will get lost in millions of similar videos.

    No entertainment video received the same number of views as the videos of stars. Although there are many examples when it was accidentally possible to win the hearts of millions.

    What video should I make to get a lot of views?

    Every video blogger wonders which videos get a lot of views. If we start from various TOPs, we can draw some conclusions.

    1. News - as soon as an event makes waves throughout the country or even the whole world, videos related to it begin to become popular. You don’t need to look far for examples, go to the list of popular videos, you will find a bunch of such videos there.
    2. Celebrities - everything related to famous people attracts attention. Some video bloggers deliberately take advantage of someone else's fame, adding videos, revealing secrets, digging through dirty linen, or collecting incriminating evidence.
    3. Children were, are and will be the most interesting characters in videos. Remember how many videos you have seen with children, the same joke about a chef or a girl with a surprised face about whom millions of memes have been created.
    4. Show – Many video bloggers launch their own show. The topics chosen are varied, from reviews of other people's videos to evaluation of home food delivery. Come up with something interesting or put on a show for your city.
    5. Social projects - people also like them, because they have one highlight called justice. Now they are launched more and more often, they supposedly have a deep meaning and open people’s eyes to obvious problems.

    To add a video that has every chance of taking the TOP places in terms of the number of views, you need not only to come up with fresh ideas, but also to analyze how other authors managed to achieve fame.

    Bloggers on YouTube revenue are very different because they apply different efforts. Some people don’t try to learn how to record high-quality videos at all; they don’t rely on statistics and don’t study the success of other authors.

    Don't join the ranks of losers, try to post only those videos that have the potential to become popular.
