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 1 with Baby, which recently become the first video to earn a half a billion views! Bieber has two other videos in the top 10, at numbers 6 and 9. In fact, Bieber and Eminem between them now make up half of the top 10. Other than "Charlie Bit My Finger," the baby and humor videos can no longer compete with the poularity of the top music videos.
We first did this list in August 2007, at which point Evolution of Dance by comedian Judson Laipply was number 1 with nearly 56 million views (it's now outside the top 10). The next update wasSeptember 2008, when Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend pop music video was number 1 with 103 million page views. In January 2010, Charlie bit my finger - again ! was number 1, with 148 million views. By the beginning of January 2011, Justin Bieber was at number 1 with over 400 million views for Baby. Here is the top 10, as of April 2011:
