The catchy tune "Baby Shark Dance" has officially become the most viewed music video on YouTube and the most viewed video on YouTube overall. 🦈🎶

The children's rhyme, created by Pinkfong (Republic of Korea) was uploaded to YouTube on the 17 June 2016, and reached 7,042,967,886 views as of 2 November 2020.

The video has also broken the record title for the most viewed children's music video on YouTube.

The Baby Shark tune was sung by 10-year-old Korean-American singer Hope Segoine. 


It was hugely popular when it was released but it’s taken four years for it to slowly and steadily reach the top of the list for the most viewed video on YouTube.

Baby Shark has a cumulative running time of over 30,000 years. 

It also has over 22 million likes and 10 million dislikes, making it both one of the most liked and disliked videos ever on YouTube.
