South Korean company Pinkfong has become one of the most well-known channels of YouTube with its educational and entertaining content for children. However, a video in particular has a great contribution to this success. His song Baby Shark, released in 2016, became the most watched video of the platform in four years.
Pinkfong, which has close to 55 million subscribers on YouTube, broke another record in a year and a half. Baby Shark, which surpassed Despacito, which had 7 billion 38 million views in November 2020, became the most watched video on YouTube, and now it is the first video to exceed 10 billion views.
10 billion 3 million 946 thousand and still continues to increase:
We have come a long way since the days when Gangnam Style took the world by storm in 2012. The song, which broke the world record by reaching 2 million likes at that time, cannot even pass by the 32 million likes of Baby Shark at the moment. Of course, the fact that Baby Shark is a song that has been taught to children for many years and has become a part of the culture has a great impact on this success.
