Music/Youtube - Some Interesting Data...

[Speede]

Okay, so as of this post, Gangnam Style (the music video on Youtube) has been viewed a total of 531,984,265 times, making it the third most viewed video EVER on youtube, behind only "Baby" by Justin Bieber (791,703,608 views) and "On The Floor" by Jennifer Lopez (611,517,141 views).

The video has been on Youtube since July 15, 2012, a total of only 103 days. By comparison, "On The Floor" by Jennifer Lopez has been on Youtube since March 3, 2011 (603 days), and "Baby" by Justin Bieber since February 19, 2010 (962 days).

So, to put it in order for you...

"Baby" - 962 days - 791, 703, 608 views
"On The Floor" - 603 days - 611,517,141 views
"Gangnam Style" - 103 days - 531,984,265 views

According to my calculations above, the three videos are viewed at a rate of...

"Baby" - 822,977 views per day
"On The Floor" - 1,014,125 views per day
"Gangnam Style" - 5,164,896 views per day

If those numbers are accurate, the "Gangnam Style" video will reach 1,000,000,000 views in 194 total days, or 91 days from now. In that amount of time, the three videos will be at...

"Gangnam Style" - 1,001,989,824 views
"Baby" - 866,594,515 views
"On The Floor" - 703,802,516 views

In that case, it would in fact leave Gangnam Style as the most viewed video in Youtube's history. By the same numbers, it would only take a total of 163 days for Gangnam Style, starting at 0, to catch and surpass "Baby" for the most viewed of all time. This means that it will only be another 60 days, and at that point, the statistics will be as follows...

Days (Since "Gangnam Style" hit Youtube) - 163
"Gangnam Style" - 841,878,048 views
"Baby" - 841,082,228 views
"On The Floor" - 672,364,641 views

This just goes to show that the world's most popular song right now could very easily become the most viewed video of all time on Youtube in just a short period of time. So sit back, relax, and remember... OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!

Yeah, it will be the most viewed video but that isnt saying much. In fact, it makes the song even worse and I hate it even more.

Help me to understand how view count on YouTube makes a song worse.

By the same logic, the less views the same song had would improve it?

Nope, not at all. A great video could have millions of views or just a few thousands.

However, a video of THIS magnitude (Youtube top 100) is a fair indicator of it being instant shit. To be that popular - you are appealing to a large portion of the dumbfuck public.

That is just the truth.

Not saying you or anyone else enjoying the song makes you a dumbfuck, either. Furthermore, I am not even going to say there is not a song or two IN that top 100 I actually do enjoy, myself.

The best analogy I can come up with to explain the above concept is something like - Not every Islamist is an extremist but every Islamic extremist is Islamic.

I heard that from some republican, somewhere.

I am also going to point out however that Justin Beibers Baby is the most popular video on YouTube.

I guess the main point of my comment was, I think the song sucks complete donkey dick and the fact that it is going to be the most popular video on the internet makes me hate it even more.

Truth is people will eat ANYTHING up with the right promotion.

Understood for the most part.

Man, you've taken the 'APW's Biggest Elitist' from me!

To be honest. I never even heard of the song until I went on holiday with a friend recently that they played the dam song every single night. It sounded bloody annoying.
