Here’s the full list of songs with more than 100 million views: The latter, which aggregates 56 best-of-all-time video lists as well as 20 potential video awards, includes only three songs from the VEVO list: “Thriller,” “November Rain,” and Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).” The difference between the VEVO list and the DMDB’s list of the 100 videos of all time is even more staggering. Only 21 of the videos also rank in the DMDB list of the best songs of the 21st century. Interestingly, the VEVO list serves neither as a true indicator of the most celebrated videos of all time or even the biggest hits of the 21st century. Those artists alone comprise half the list. Other artists with multiple video as either a lead or support artist include Rihanna (11), Beyonce (7), Black Eyed Peas (7), Eminem (7), Lady Gaga (7), Lil Wayne (7), Katy Perry (7), Chris Brown (6), David Guetta (6), Nicki Minaj (6), LMFAO (5), Pitbull (5), and Shakira (5). Justin Bieber places two videos in the top ten and 13 on total list. Only two videos on the list date to the 20th century – Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” (1983) and Guns N’ Roses “November Rain” (1992).Īlso apparent from the list is the predominance of certain artists. Of the 140 videos which have reached the 100 million mark, only 32 were pre-2009 songs. The dominance of videos from just the last couple years plays out throughout the list.
