For a long time, PSY's aggressively catchy hit Gangnam Style was the most-viewed YouTube clip on the platform, standing at 2.8 billion views. <\/p>\n
Gangnam Style rose to the top back in 2012, beating out Justin Bieber's Baby which had been the ruling clip up until PSY's phenomenal success. <\/p>\n
Now there's a new kid in town when it comes to ruling views. Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa's mega-hit See You Again has nabbed top place. <\/p>\n
At the moment, there are just under 2.9 billion views on the track's music video, which features clips from the emotional Fast and Furious flick featuring the late Paul Walker. <\/p>\n
Rapper Wiz Khalifa commented on the gigantic achievement in a press release: <\/p>\n
\"Im super excited and grateful to everyone who supported the song and video on YouTube, and happy to inspire and impact so many lives.\" <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Puth said: <\/p>\n
\"I remember when I signed up for YouTube in 2007 and had hopes of uploading a video and it reaching 10,000 views.Now a decade later, it feels incredible to be a part of the most-viewed video on YouTube.\" <\/p>\n
However, Justin hasn't been bumped too far from the top of the heap since Baby's success the music video for his song Sorry is at Number 3 behind Gangnam Style. Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars is at Number 4. <\/p>\n
Now, it's important to bear in mind that See You Again was released back in 2015. Gangnam Style was of course a 2012 hit, while Uptown Funk and Sorry were respectively 2014 and 2015 releases. <\/p>\n
The fifth most viewed spot is currently held by Despacito, the Luis Fonsi track featuring Justin Bieber which was only released this year. <\/p>\n
It's rising to the top incredibly quickly, raking in views at a much faster rate than YouTube's other contenders which hints that the bilingual hit will surpass the older songs much faster than we think. <\/p>\n
