Baby Shark is up to 5.3B views, now the #2 most-viewed youtube of all-time.
Despacito is still #1 with 6.8B but Baby Shark is averaging 300M views per month while Despacito is only tracking at 100M views/month... perhaps by January 2021 Baby Shark could move into 1st.

if you added in all the different versions of Baby Shark and the hundreds of kids songs on YouTube that use the Baby Shark melody you'd probably have more than the rest of YouTube combined

What's the deal with Despacito? Doesn't seem like a particularly noteworthy song or video to me.

its popular in every country

I mean, obviously if it has X Billion views. It just seems like a generic song to have on in the background or something.

was terribly terribly ie about to hurl hungover on a hot busy coach ride a couple of years ago and the cheerful community of young italians at the back of the coach kept on singing Despacito over and over again. every time i hear it it takes me very vividly back to that moment.

ie a generic song in the background or something to prevent hurling

what's the name of the effect in despacito where the song slows down for a moment when the hook comes back in? i was reading about it an completely forgot what it's called. it was supposed to be the secret ingredient to its catchiness

I have just seen a Wash Your Hands version of Baby Shark aired between kids’ TV episodes.
