Psy performing "Gangnam Style" at the Future Music Festival in 2013. "Gangnam Style" has been the most viewed video on YouTube since November 2012, with over 2.5 billion views as of May 2016.

This list contains the 30 most viewed YouTube videos of all time as derived from YouTube charts.[1] Videos that YouTube suspects have had their view counts manipulated[2] are not included in this list. View counts are based on the YouTube website; many of the videos are music videos that play through YouTube's partner site, Vevo, and YouTube view counts will lag those of Vevo by three or four days.[1] All but two of the videos in this list are music videos.

These videos include the "Billion View Club", a group of videos whose view counts have exceeded one billion views each. Prior to June 26, 2015, only two videos, "Gangnam Style" and "Baby", had achieved this milestone, but by October 2015, ten videos had done so.[3] As of June 2016, 25 videos have exceeded one billion views, including two non-music videos, with "Gangnam Style" being the only video to have exceeded two billion views.[4] As of June 2016, the six fastest videos to reach one billion views are "Hello" (88 days), "Sorry" (137 days), "Gangnam Style" (159 days), "See You Again" (184 days), "Blank Space" (240 days) and "What Do You Mean?" (250 days).[3][5][6][7]
