That's what makes something popular. It has to appeal to a broad amount of people, so it's never going to be special.

I've found plenty of other number 1s special. Even Closer, an awful song, is incredibly distinctive sounding. Despacito sounds like sort of generic party music.

Spanish songs have an advantage cuz YouTube is the primary music streaming platform in Latin America.

It looks like Youtube got rid of the stat charts.

Anyway, it can get 170m for the first week. That must be a record.

200m in under 8 days. It might not hold so badly after all.

It has no chance at Despacito. It won't hold as well. Despacito is going to get such an absurd total.

Lwymmd was down like 45% today. It will get 1-1.5b by the end of the year but may have a tough time ever reaching 3 or 4 billion.


Welp at my suggestion LWYMMD had any chance at Despacito's total... it's already behind in daily views

LWYMMD had the biggest opening month ever of course.

LWYMMD is proving to be very frontloaded. Mi Gente and New Rules are off to strong starts.

Unlike most of its direct comparisons, LWYMMD was met with relative indifference. I certainly don’t watch the video anymore, it’s not like Shake it Off or Blank Space because people really liked those songs. LWYMMD is decent at best.

Only two years left for this thread title to be correct. It is still at #3. Can't see it moving down 8 places to 11 by 2020.

It'll fall to 6 just based on the next 3 behind it in Sorry/Uptown Funk/Shape Of You, maybe 7 with Sugar. Some videos around 2 mil like Chantaje have a chance and Fonsi just released a new video with Demi Lovato. Having 4-5 more get to it by 2020 seems reasonable to me. I think DP will be correct and if not he can just claim he meant by the end of 2020

Sugar will get there. Bailando should. One more might of the other old ones. Chantaje should. Mi Gente too. Maybe Rockabye. New rules has a good chance. And since Despacito did it in only a few months something else might not even be released yet. I’m pretty sure it will be 10.

Why does Sugar have like triple the views of any other Maroon 5 song?

Havana looks like it could do it. It is surging too. I don't remember how many views it got early on, but I would remember if it were at its current pace. Plus Camila Cabello isn't quite that popular. 3 billion no problem.

Even Echame La Culpa could end up pretty high on this for Fonsi

The Havana Audio is taking the views now. People don't want to watch a long show. I don't even know why they make videos like that.

But I said I'd count it, because the total of the two combined reflects the song's popularity.

Already 900m and it could perhaps get another 1.5 billion this year.

The history of Gagnam Style YT views is reminiscent of adjusted box office vs inflation boosted current box office.

Shape of You now begins the long march to eventually reel in Despacito, it's making about 2 million more per day right now. It's just the more memorable video

I don't listen to much music anymore, but that Shape of You of actually is a pretty good song and a nice video too.

This Is America had a huge start. I’m not sure the buzz will stay for the long term though.

Honestly shocked that Despacito has 5+ billion views. That's insane.

Girls Like You will definitely end up being one of the most viewed videos of all time

See how ME holds. Great start, but LWYMMD started with records, but took forever to reach 1 billion. I think it might have an advantage over that because it's more of a typical catchy pop song, like Shake it Off.

Looks like it will still be in the top 10 by 2020 - maybe top 5
