Justin Bieber Beats Out Lady Gaga for Most Viewed YouTube Video

     Tween singing sensation Justin Bieber recently over took pop artist Lady Gaga for the most viewed video on YouTube.  Bieber's "Baby" featuring Ludacris topped Gaga's "Bad Romance" yesterday afternoon.  "Baby" has managed to receive 246,353,903 views.  "Bad Romance", the former top video, has received 245,688,071 views.  In distant third is the classic baby video, "Charlie bit my finger".

     In terms of music video, Miley Cyrus has a strong YouTube presence.  Her "Party In The U.S.A." is the third most watched video, while "7 Things" lands at No. 5 and "The Climb" at No. 7.  Strangely, Pitbull's "I Know You Want Me" is No. 4 (Who watches that?).  Lady Gaga also placed a second video in the top ten with "Just Dance" at No. 6.

24. Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys "Empire State of Mind" - 52,339,717 views 
25. Artists For Haiti "We Are The World 25" - 52,149,208 views


It's a very interesting list.  There are a lot of entries that make me scratch my head.  Besides the massive number of views for "I Know You Want Me", how on Earth did Aerosmith's 12 year old "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" rank as the 20th most watch video?  You can't look at the list and ignore the power of Disney.  Between the artist formerly known as Hannah Montana, Vanessa Hudgens, and the Jonas Brothers, Disney is directly or indirectly responsible for six of the top 25 videos (and if the list continued, the Disney love fest would continue).  Although Lady Gaga does have two videos in the top ten, I'm surprised she didn't have more.  And My Chemical Romance having a top 25 video while Britney Spears doesn't?  It just goes to show you the demographic of YouTube users.
