1. “Baby Shark Dance” by Pinkfong
The first-ever video to break the 10 billion views record on YouTube. In 2020, it surpassed all the videos with a billion views, standing on a viewer record of its own.

Pinkfong initially brought us the version of this song. Ever since its release, this song has been played worldwide.
Try finding someone who doesn’t reply to your Baby… Shark with Do do, do-do-do-do, and you’ll know the hype.
