YouTube has had a significant impact on the internet as the second-most popular social media platform and the second-most viewed website in the world. especially when it comes to the idea of sharing videos in general. On average, YouTube receives 35 billion visits per month from its 2.6 billion active subscribers. YouTube videos are the most popular online videos by a wide margin.
However, despite the fact that the majority of the over 800 million videos on YouTube rarely receive more than a few thousand views, there are certain unique “viral” videos that receive hundreds of thousands or even millions of views. And then there are the *extremely* unique videos that even manage to attract millions of viewers worldwide and receive billions of views.
Since its humble origins, YouTube has grown to boast billions of subscribers, videos on every imaginable subject, and the ability to claim responsibility for numerous careers that got their start on the site.
There’s a good possibility you viewed a popular video on YouTube because it is now a media behemoth in and of itself.

9. “Learning Colors – Colorful Eggs on a Farm” Miroshka TV 4.73 billion
It’s not surprise that educational videos are among the most popular YouTube material when you consider the following: It makes obvious that parents would choose free and, better still, instructional programming if their children were going to spend a significant amount of the day staring at screens. The Learning Colors Multi-Colored Eggs on the Farm program on Miroshka TV is no exception. Over 4 billion people have seen the instructive film for children since it was first uploaded four years ago.
This entertaining five-minute film introduces young children to the various colors using poorly animated farm eggs as the teaching tool. The film itself is narrated in Russian and teaches children the Russian names for various hues. Only the music, which is Old MacDonald Had a Farm in English, and any subtitles that appear in the video are not in Russian (if you have them turned on).

With 4,221,200,857 views, Cocomelon’s vibrant, popular video for “Wheels on the Bus” has made the channel a genuine hit.
A husband and wife team founded the channel in 2006; it now has 139 million subscribers, a Netflix show, a live touring show, and a podcast called “storytime.”
