Without a wisp of Despacito or Baby Shark, here are the top ten most-liked non-music videos on YouTube, as of January 2026.

When we first looked at the most-liked videos on YouTube back in 2022, the top ten was dominated by music videos. Since then, YouTube has pushed Shorts, which, more than regular long-form videos, encourages likes by way of tailoring your feed.

Despacito was recently overtaken as the most liked video on YouTube, by MrBeast’s short video Would You Fly To Paris For A Baguette? with over 57 million likes. MrBeast has uploaded four of the top ten most-liked non-music videos.

Other popular creators that make this list include Daniel LaBelle, who has two videos in the top ten.
