So I did some "statistics" on this list.
The most song are from 2017 (17 songs).
There are no songs from 2021 onwards.
Every year from 2010 to 2020 has at least one song on that list.
The youngest song on this list is Life Is Good by Drake & Future (2020)

Four songs are from "pre YouTube":
- November Rain by Guns 'n' Roses (1992)
- Hanuman Chalisa by Gulshan Kumar (1992)
- In Da Club by 50 Cent (2003)
- Numb by Linkin Park (2003)
One is from the same year:
- Axel F. by Crazy Frog (May/June 2005, YT was online since Feb 2005)

68 songs are only in english.
25 songs are only in spanish.
The oldest spanish song is Propeusta Indecente by Romeo Santos (2013)
3 songs are in korean (two by Blackpink and one by Psy)
1 song is in spanish and english (Con Calma by Daddy Yankee & Snow)
1 song is in english and fang (african language). It's Waka Waka by Shakira
1 song is in an indian language, but I can't tell which (Hanuman Chalisa by Gulshan Kumar)
1 song has no singing (Axel F. by Crazy Frog)

this is insane. I remember when there were only a handful of 1B view songs on YT like "Baby" & "Gangham Style". Now there's 100+, wow

[waviation]

You should make list of top songs from each genre. That would be awesome

[schwarzen]

if it wasn’t for YouTube we couldn’t revisit MTV music videos literally

[EntrEsprit]

As expected: whole lotta Latina songs, k-pop, songs that were everywhere in 2015-2017, and couple of good hits from Katy, Sia, Adele, 50

[thomasbrunkle]

This confirms for me that we went through a golden era of music in 2012-2017 without realizing it.

[shashwatmenon]

Since Spotify came along almost none of the latest hit songs have even a billion views on youtube. Just goes on to show how less youtube music videos are seen nowadays.

[luisaluz]

Numb and November Rain are the only pre-youtube songs on the list, mad respect
*Honorary Mention to Crazy Frog*

[maxafc]

Most surprising was crazy frog in the top 10! That was a meme almost 20 years ago, yet it has billions of views on Youtube, a timeless classic i guess!

[RainBow-znyk]

An incredible compilation showcasing the ultimate hits - the top 100 most viewed songs on YouTube! Mind-blowing!

[BlitzTD]

Who knew that popular and good songs were so far from being the same

[randomgoat]

you are so underrated my muy, it must take hours to make these videos, hope u get more subscribers

[luisaluz]

Some video suggestions:
- Top 100 videos on youtube/songs on Spotify per genre
- Top 100 pre-youtube/streaming songs ( aka pre-2010 )
- Top pre-youtube/Spotify artists

[yungluhblud]

im actually super surprised there aren't more bollywood songs and rap songs on here

[omwrikdubey]

Don't know if any song will ever have the potential to go as viral as despacito. 2016, 17, 18 were the best times

[riqueziito]

Will you do the top Eurovision songs this year?

[othsecs]

I feel like including Let It Go would've been fair as that was a hit with all ages. It's at about 4 billion combined views so it would be like #6 on the list

[tomaaron]

Makes me appreciate the 70s and 80s all the more.

[cjulian]

You Should Remake The Video Of The Top 50 Most Viewed Song That are Older than Youtube
Im Really sure that this video is going to be Insane

[Utgarman]

There's way more Latin Pop on here than I expected.
