TOP 10 YOUTUBE VIDEOS

YouTube has come to define the era of online video, so let's take a look at its most popular videos of all time. Our latest update has Justin Bieber still at number one with Baby, which was the first video to earn a half a billion views! Currently, Bieber and Eminem between them make half of the top ten. Also of note is a music video by Jennifer Lopez called On The Floor ft. Pitbull, which has risen to number two with 500 million views in less than a year.
