Have you ever wondered where your favorite pop anthems rank in the grand scheme of the YouTube algorithm? Today, we're listing five of the most watched pop music videos of all time, all with over one billion views! It's time to test your viral video trivia knowledge. Can you guess all five? Let's get started and find out! 5. Despacito - Luis Fonsi feat. Daddy Yankee We all remember the release of "Despacito" back in 2017. This song was everywhere. It was on the radio constantly, serving as a milestone that Latin American music could become even more mainstream. This late 2010s classic about taking romance slowly and passionately has amassed a whopping 9 billion views by present day. Clearly, the world was ready for a surge of electric, Latin beats mixed with a melody that's impossible to stop singing. "Despacito" is still one of our favorite songs for the summer! 4. Sign of the Times - Harry Styles It seems like 2017 was quite the year for popular music, because this next one hails from the same year. Harry Styles' "Sign of the Times" is next on our list, having garnered 1.5 billion views of its own as of 2026. While popular, this track is incredibly emotional, with its story being the likely reason for bringing in so many views. "Sign of the Times" tells the tale of a mother who has just given birth, but is told she won't make it to see her child grow up. She uses her last five minutes to advise her newborn to go forth and conquer. It's a touching, melancholy song that has captured the hearts of many, and it's easy to see why. Styles' deeply captivating songwriting and performance say it all. Give this one a listen for some great storytelling, and maybe a good cry. 3. Shape of You - Ed Sheeran Now, this is a song that everyone knows. Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" also took the world by storm in 2017. Much like "Despacito", this song was, and still is, everywhere. And let's be real, most of Sheeran's hits are absolutely timeless. "Perfect" and "Shivers" are the other two examples that come to mind. However, "Shape of You" has something extra special about it, because the music video has now collected a massive 6.7 billion views. The lighthearted and extremely danceable tune about attraction just has the catchiest melody imaginable. It's hard to picture a world without this song. It's just that iconic. If you've somehow missed out on "Shape of You", go and see why this song is deeply fixed in the 1 billion club. 2. Somebody That I Used to Know - Gotye feat. Kimbra This artistic video from 2011, believe it or not, is still the number 49 music video on YouTube right now in 2026. With over 2.6 billion views, Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" is a musical landmark. This rather melancholy song about found and lost love swept across the mainstream music scene with unique flare and a sound unlike anything else. The song became even more popular with the release of Doechii's "Anxiety" in 2025, which used the iconic backing track. This brought the video into the spotlight once more (not that it ever really left). Of course, the video didn't need any help to reach such a high number of views. It speaks for itself. If you haven't managed to see this artistic masterpiece, definitely give it a watch. 1. Shake it Off - Taylor Swift Now, we all know we couldn't have a milestone post without our queen, Taylor Swift. 2014's "Shake It Off", a carefree song about literally shaking off the haters, currently holds 3.6, nearly 3.7 billion views. At the time of release, this was the hit of the season, charting at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for nearly a year with a total of 50 weeks at the top. While we're looking at "Shake It Off" for this list, Swift actually has two videos that have amassed more than 1 billion views, "Blank Space" being the other with 3.8 billion. She's truly iconic for a reason. "Shake It Off" is truly the perfect song for any party and we say bring it back! So, what did you think? Did you know these five music videos had so many views on YouTube? Did you happen to guess any of them? Give these songs a listen and let us know your thoughts at any of our socials below!

Jordan Anthony has released his new single, “Missing Me.” Capturing the exact moment of seeing an ex again, “Missing Me” asks if both people carry more emotional weight than the other expects. An awkward run-in with an ex entails an awkward feeling in which we are solely focused on ourselves. Yet, when looking at the experiences of how we try to pretend, the way we present ourselves to others is sometimes the opposite of how we feel, like putting on a “brave face.” Anthony wrote this song after his own experience of seeing an ex and things not appearing how they seem. The contrast between what seemingly happens and the truth behind the emotions built the thesis that “Missing Me” has at it’s core: what happens when we want to seem fine, but we’re really not? A poppy ballad, “Missing Me” carries instrumentation that fans of Quinn XCII will love. “Missing Me” carries an amount of empathy that’s unexpected from a song like this, marking the song as it stands out. While there are many factors into why someone may not want to interact with another person, but no matter what, those feelings don’t just disappear. “Missing Me” finds Anthony creating some of his best work so far, a hard accomplishment due to his discography. Looking at how both Anthony feels while he considers what his ex-partner is feeling, the emotional thesis of perception versus truth comes out in “Missing Me.” While there may be tension between him and his ex-partner, fans will be delighted to hear “Missing Me,” adding to an already stellar discography that may find fans wanting more. Jordan Anthony is a singer-songwriter based in Nashville. Rising in the pop scene, Anthony first became known as a finalist on The Voice Australia in 2019, While that might have been his breakout, Jordan has gone on to accomplish many career highs. Anthony not only represented Australia at Junior Eurovision, but also reached the top 14 round on American Idol during 2024. While Jordan has reached career highs throughout his time in the industry, he’s also been expanding his live footprint across the world, including opening for KAYKO and supporting Nour Khodr on tours, but also a showcase with We Found New Music. Leading into his debut EP, the easiest way listeners can keep up with Jordan Anthony’s newest releases and shows is to follow him on social media, linked down below.

Summertime is the season of night drives and ride-or-die fantasies, and Henry Morris and Ella Boh take the forever-faithful pair to the next level in “My Girlfriend.” Morris and Boh sing from the spirit that a match made in heaven is irreplaceable. They can sell their cars, pawn off their possessions, and say farewell to people, but they’re sticking by their partner’s side. In the age of casual relationships, the lyrics stand out like a shiny diamond ring. Is the concept of a forever love lost to fiction? Not to Morris and Boh. ​ The whisper-heavy vocals elevate the level of intimacy. Sure, it’s been done before in dark pop, but these soft promises intertwined with the intensity of the subject create a cinematic ride-or-die tension. Punchy, trap-influenced snares add another layer of friction. The sound serves as a reminder that love comes with sacrifice. And that sacrifice turns the passion into something sacred. The singer-songwriters Morris and Boh develop dark pop songs, layered with vulnerability and moody lyricism. Morris often pours vintage Americana themes into his music. For fans of Lana Del Rey, Morris’s soft tempos, strings, and tremolo effects recreate the hypnotic, ethereal experience. He released his debut album, Jawbreaker, in 2024 and has opened for Cigarettes After Sex, Joe Jonas, and Artemas. Ella Boh released her debut album, milk & honey, a year later. Her songs echo with devotion and deep bass that travels straight to the heart. She has collaborated with artists like Selena Gomez and Ben Bohmer. Keep up with the artists using the links below!

Hallucinations, electric currents, and lightning strikes make up Skylar Lee’s latest single, “Thunderstruck”. Released June 26th, Lee set off to create a track that brings to life the shocking jolt of a feeling that occurs when you unexpectedly meet The One. They’re “someone who completely short-circuits your reality and leaves you feeling untethered from every instinct you once trusted”, says Lee. The track holds a swirling soundscape that feels like coming out of the fog in a dimly lit club, with lyrics that reference different versions of shocks, both electric and bodily. “Thunderstruck” is upbeat and playful, with positive vibes flowing throughout Lee’s strong vocals. She depicts her theme perfectly, with instrumentals that crash in and out to add to the surprises. “Thunderstruck” opens with electric synths and a steady drum beat. Lee begins to sing about the kind of person she has always been- certain, self-assured, and unwavering. Until now. Leading into the chorus, she meets the one who throws her off her game. She sings “What the hell has become of me / You shook my grasp on reality / And now I’m shedding all my senses / I’m scared to death fully defenseless”. She wonders if she is hallucinating, not even truly sure if they are real. She struggles with this new feeling, and in the next verse discusses how this is completely unexpected. They were not in her predictions or plan, and she is not quite sure how to handle these feelings. In the bridge, she comes to a positive conclusion, singing “I don’t know what's happening / But guess I’m giving in / Yeah I’m seeing the lightning / But I like it”. Now based in Nashville, Tennessee, Skylar Lee was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania with music as a constant throughout her childhood. Listening to mainly her mother’s 70s and 80s music, Lee brings elements of all kinds of music into her own writing. In her music, Lee tries her hardest to embrace individuality, and encourage her listeners to do so as well. She states that she “wishes for listeners to feel seen for both who they are now and who they aspire to be”. Her writing has been featured in media such as Rolling Stone, Nashville’s YoCo Nashville on 96.7FM, and ASCAP’s Writers Showcase. “Thunderstruck” joins her plethora of singles on Spotify, dating back to 2019.

Matt Hansen has released his newest single “THINKING BOUT ME”, a song about wondering if a former significant other still reciprocates the same undecided feelings towards you that you have for them. Although the relationship that Hansen writes about did not end on good terms, he still constantly thinks about his ex, and these thoughts could consist of regret for how the relationship ended, missing this person, and/or wanting to reconcile, whether they just stay friends or begin dating again. Lines such as “I’ve been staying up / Replaying conversations” shows how he reminisces on what once was, and how he yearns for the past. The moment you hit play on “THINKING BOUT ME”, you immediately hear Hansen’s signature, genre-bending sound. This is implemented by the choir that introduces the song that transitions into the guitar strums that are the background for Hansen’s incredible vocals. What adds even more atmosphere and positive, summery vibes to this amazing song are the drums and synths. The usage of them and the way they add depth to “THINKING BOUT ME” shows how much meticulous effort was put into every element of this single. The vocal and production styles have so much personality in every second of this song. Matt Hansen is a California native who never fails to show how talented and hardworking of a musician he is, still releasing incredible music even right after crafting his seventeen-track album Orchid.

*insert photo credits if necessary* About half-way through their largest tour to date, the self proclaimed biggest boyband in the world, 5 Seconds of Summer, made their stop in Pittsburgh, PA with openers The Band CAMINO. SET LIST ACT I: THE PEAK NOT OK No. 1 Obession Teeth ACT II: THE FALL Easier More istillfeelthesame No Shame POWERPOINT BREAK She's Kinda Hot Boyband Telephone Busy Evolve ACT III: THE YEARNING Bad Omens Ghost of You I'm Scared I'll Never Sleep Again ACT IV: THE BREAKUP Starting Line (Luke Solo) Have U Found What Ur Looking For? (Ashton Solo) Don't Forget You Love Me (Calum Solo) enough (Michael Solo) ACT V: THE RISE Amnesia You Don't Go To Parties (Secret Song) ACT VI: THE BEGINNING English Love Affair Voodoo Doll Waste The Night Jet Black Heart She Looks So Perfect ENCORE Everyone's A Star! Youngblood Stage Pre-Show The concert was structured with different acts, lining the story of 5SOS and their career. Each act came along with video footage in between, following a comedic and possibly fictional (wink) story of how they became “the biggest boyband in the world”, their downfall, their alleged breakup, and how they came back together. With a literal limo on stage with Ashton’s drum set on top, the concert started with the boys emerging from inside. For the first act, this was the peak of their career, where they played heavy bangers to hype up the crowd such as “NOT OK”, “No. 1 Obsession” and “Teeth”. Then, quite quickly, came ACT II: THE FALL, which came with a PowerPoint break in the middle on how to have a successful tour. This part of the show is quite literally catered and personalized to every city. The boys get to know local facts and explore before the show, sharing photos about what they’ve learned and where they’ve gone, making it a more intimate and engaging experience. Right before playing “Boyband”, they bring a fan on stage to present them with “The Greatest BoyBand in the World” award, which they win each show, and give a silly speech. ACT III: THE YEARNING is for all of us emotional fans out there, where they give us a come down moment of sad songs such as “Bad Omens”, “Ghost of You” and “I’m Scared I’ll Never Sleep Again”. The healing energy in the arena as everyone sang these songs together really felt like something else. Confetti after "Bad Omens" ACT IV: THE BREAKUP made fun of the times where rumors have been spread about 5SOS splitting up. It also gave us a chance to hear a little bit of their solo music live, which considering they’ve all come out with solo projects within the last year or so, I was so happy they incorporated this into the tour. For Act V: THE RISE, they all came back together to sing the most beautiful version of Amnesia I’ve ever heard. They sang in harmony together with acoustic instruments. I’m not gonna lie, this moment got me teary eyed. After this was the secret song reveal, which was “You Don’t Go To Parties”. Secret Song "You Don't Go To Parties" ACT VI: THE BEGINNING took things way back, acknowledging the music that started it all and fan favorite 5SOS classics. Obviously ending on the song that got them their jumpstart into mainstream “She Looks So Perfect”. You’d think it would’ve stopped there, but it didn’t. Everyone waited patiently as it felt like an encore was coming. Clueless little old me didn’t know that my life was about to change, as my seats were front row right beside the right tunnel where 5SOS was about to walk through the crowd to sing “Everyone’s a Star!”. Before I knew it, my husband was catching Luke’s sweaty Pittsburgh Penguins towel that he threw and I was shaking Michael’s hand. I’ve been a 5SOS fan since the very beginning, and after not getting to see them live since 2013, this moment meant everything to me. Once the guys made it back to the stage and finished the song, they had one last one for us, “Youngblood”. Confetti flew everywhere (for the third time that night, by the way) as the crowd happily lost their minds. Peep me being the first person to shake Michael's hand. And yes, we caught Luke's towel, too. What made this show so special was it didn't just feel like an normal concert; it felt like a whole a** event. It was an interactive experience made for the fans, quite literally making everyone feel like a star. There wasn't a single dull moment. It was fun, dramatic, hilarious, emotional, and collectively a beautiful moment that should honestly go down as one of the best, thought-out tours of our generation. They way that 5SOS proved to the crowd not just how much they love their job, but how much they genuinely love their fans and want them to have the best day of their lives, was the most effort I've ever seen from any artist I've seen live before; and that's saying a lot. Even if you only know a few of their songs, if you can get your hands on tickets before this tour ends, I highly recommend seeing this show. You will not regret it!

Artists Colby and Jady have come together to present their new single "Take What You Want," a dark alternative pop anthem that perfectly explores complex relationships to the sound of addictive beats. The song is cleanly executed as from its production to the vocal performances. You see not just classic alternative pop elements, but also some unique rock and dance inspiration mixed in. Colby and Jady have great musical chemistry, this collaboration works so well that hopefully we can see it repeated in the future. What works with "Take What You Want" is that throughout your experience listening to it, you take an unexpected journey as the song doesn't follow traditional rules, making the story much more enticing. What's nice about the song is the buildup that we hear, it allows listeners to get comfortable in the story before we speed up. The beginning keeps a steady pace and the singing in this section stays sweet and determined. When we get to the first chorus, we get a better taste of the emotional intensity the artist is capable of. The chorus has the kind of explosion you want to stand up and jump and dance to. It has a dark energetic drive. The second verse may slow the song down once again, but the energy is not lost. As both singers combine forces in the second chorus, the final piece is set in and it's powerful. The bridge is dynamic, and it's really cool to see the post chorus breakdown that takes on a unique production style. Colby is a young artist originally from Texas who has been making a name for herself for some time now and has been making music since she was 14. From a young age, Colby has had a creative drive and is inspired by artists like Amy Winehouse and Gwen Stefani. Additionally, she has received praise from both Fault Magazine and Galore Magazine. Colby is currently set to go on tour this fall with Jady. Jady is a musical duo made up of Ashton Bergdorf and Jarrett Doherty.

Kaleia's has returned with new music that will definitely leave a lasting mark on you. "MAKE IT MEAN SOMETHING" is catchy and upbeat with lyrics that are hard hitting and honest. The song uncovers the layers of a romantic connection, specifically one that is slowly crumbling and falling apart. It feels like the moment right before a big break, where the tension is at its highest and no one is quite sure how to navigate things anymore. "MAKE IT MEAN SOMETHING" recognizes the difficulty of having the emotional closeness built with a romantic partner over time fizzle. The intimacy and honesty becomes slowly replaced by distance and doubt, until there is nothing left to anchor the relationship. The lyric, "Am I even a friend to you? / You're tapping out / Heard it through word of mouth / Am I even your lover? / Was it ever love?" really shows the confusion that remains when a connection's open communication ultimately falls through. With summer in full swing, what better way to celebrate than with an upbeat, funky song that you can let loose to? "MAKE IT MEAN SOMETHING" immediately opens with a groovy sound that makes it hard to resist dancing and vibing along. The song has a retro vibe, but also maintains a modern sound as well. The alt-pop song is the perfect song to release all pent up frustrations and dance. I could imagine the song fitting on a soundtrack for a romcom and playing during a scene of the main character discovering themself following the tensions of a breakup. Kaleia's vocals on the song feel mesmerizing and something akin to seductive. Her natural vocal ability paired with the grooviness of the instrumentals makes the entire song unforgettable. Kaleia is a pop singer-songwriter based in Vancouver. She was born in Edmonton and has worked from a young age to craft playful, experimental, and emotionally sharp records. She was raised on artists like The Beach Boys and Stevie Wonder. She was also greatly influenced at home by her mother, who was a touring classical pianist. Her father, the frontman of a band, also greatly inspired her. Her approach to music was rooted equally in discipline and experimentation. Alongside contemporary inspirations such as Tame Impala, Ravyn Lenae, and Leon Thomas, Kaleia draws from a wide range of eras and genres. She combines classic musicality with forward-thinking production. The result is polished, groove-driven pop that feels nostalgic yet distinctly modern.

"Nosedive" aptly reflects an extreme plunge in the standing of a prior relationship, which Aubory Bugg details with an air of sarcasm and charisma in her new indie folk-pop single. Bugg immediately reveals a partner's decision to reconnect with their first love, reciting the truth in the opening lyric: "you're so good at jumping into old things like they're new." She balances the intensity of betrayal and disappointment with a levity that orchestrates a perfect breakup song to play on repeat. Bugg allows herself to be bitter and feel her emotions without allowing them to dictate where she goes from there. This single is the first glimpse of Bugg's debut album, I think I had something once, coming in September 2026, marking a pivotal moment in both Bugg's career and personal life. Creating music that is true to her from Granite City, Illinois, to Nashville, Tennessee, Aubory Bugg's newest single delivers a twang of alt-folk, combined with classic indie pop characteristics. There's a nostalgic countdown at the beginning of the song, playfully setting it up with a, "One, two, three, four." The intro conjures images of a collaborative production environment that shines through in the song's sarcastic yet jubilant recording. Acoustic guitar and ambient instrumentals give way quickly to forward percussion that pushes the song along, aligning with Aubory's flow to either emphasize emotional bursts, or reel them in to highlight cheeky moments. Soft guitar strumming fuctuates to emulate Bugg's volume and sound intensity. In the song's middle everything drops back except the guitar and Aubory's vocals against a simple soundscape of guitar and clapping that creates a danceable, fun break in the tune. Transforming a painful experience into a playful hit song as "nosedive" does takes skill that Bugg clearly has. Hailing from Midwest roots, Aubory Bugg has gained traction initally performing song covers on social media. Currently based in Nashville, Tennessee, Bugg transitioned to sharing original music in 2023, which quickly resonated across audiences.

Women are under constant and excruciating pressure to appear a certain way. "Pretty" is presented as the primary goal for women and young girls, almost as if it is the price they must pay for existing. However, every girl is a pretty girl, and that is the story that Flora Summers describes in the track "Pretty Girls". With empowering lyrics, such as the final line "Pretty girls, they look like me and you," Summers creates an anthem about self-love and confidence, preaching for everyone to recognize their own beauty and not adhere to an archaic yet constantly changing standard of beauty. This track begins with a recording of what sounds like a vintage television advertisement, describing what a "pretty girl" is. Vocals enter following the recording, singing in a clear and vulnerable manner. There is steady rhythm of guitar in the backtrack. The instrumental becomes increasingly intense as the song builds upon itself. The intensity and development of the track match the emotional intensity and development of the lyrics. The elements of the song combine to create a pleasing auditory experience and a moving emotional experience. Furthermore, Summers' vocal tone is incredibly stunning and has the perfect timbre for the emotional setting of the track. Flora Summers began creating her own music during the COVID-19 pandemic. She wants to create a dreamy musical atmosphere that combines the feeling of being on a Swedish island in the summer with the feeling of driving through endless highways in the California deserts, with a touch of Scandinavian melancholy. She creates dreamy vintage pop with influences including artists such as Lana Del Rey and Fleetwood Mac. Behind Flora Summers is Swedish producer Ida Johansson, who has participated in events such as Dua Lipa's Songwriting Camp.
