Top 10 most-viewed videos on YouTube in 2026
We’ve rounded up the top 10 most-viewed videos on YouTube, as of July 2026. Warning, it’s exclusively music and children’s content.
Here are the 10 most viewed videos on YouTube, led by Baby Shark, with twice the entire population of Earth, at over 17 billion views! Baby Shark became the most viewed video on YouTube when it reached 7 billion views in November 2020, surpassing the most viewed video at the time, Despacito. In just over a year, Baby Shark reached 10 billion views in January 2022.
We last updated this list earlier this year. Since then, bizarrely, in 2026, Crazy Frog has entered the list at number nine, over taking GANGNAM STYLE and pushing Uptown Funk off the top ten entirely. Elsewhere, Wheels on the Bus has also swapped places with Despacito.
All 10 of the most-viewed videos on YouTube have now exceeded 5 billion views!
