Top 10 YouTube Videos Of All Time

Updated 8/7/2014.

YouTube has come to define the era of online video, so let’s take a look at its most popular videos of all time. We reported that Psy’s Gangnam Style was the first video to reach a billion views, and the viral hit is standing strong at number 1 and has reached the coveted 2 billion view mark! Psy makes the cut twice in this month’s YouTube Top 10, reaching the number seven spot with his follow-up single, Gentleman.

We first did this list in August 2007, at which point Evolution of Dance by comedian Judson Laipply was number 1 with nearly 56 million views. The next update was September 2008, when Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend pop music video was number 1 with 103 million views. In January 2010, Charlie bit my finger – again ! was number 1, with 148 million views. By the beginning of January 2011, Justin Bieber was at number 1 with over 400 million views for Baby—and that video went on to hold the top slot through most of 2012.

Here are the top 10 as of June 2014:
