The numbers are in, and it is now confirmed that “Despacito,” the catchy song by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Luis Fonsi, not only continued to remain popular on YouTube, but it even broke records becoming the top-viewed video of all time. Meanwhile, it seems that Canadian singer Justin Bieber might be losing his touch these days as his song “Baby” is the second most disliked video.

“Despacito” by Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee broke the record on the most-watched YouTube video of all time with 6 billion views. It managed to best Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You,” which is ranked second with 4.1 billion views. The third-ranked view is “See You Again,” a song by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth, which has 4 billion views.

It was “Gangnam Style,” a song by Korean pop star Psy , that set the billion-view record back in 2012. While it continued to rake in views since then, it has lost its steam and only has 3.3 billion views.

Meanwhile, who would have known that YouTube’s dislike button would be a useful feature as it will now show the world which videos are deemed most unlikeable by viewers? Topping the dislike list is “YouTube Rewind 2018” from the channel YouTube Spotlight with 15 million dislikes. Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” which features Ludacris, comes in second with 10 million dislikes. Completing the top 3 is Jake Paul’s “It’s Everyday Bro,” which features Team 10, with 4.2 million dislikes.

He is closely followed by T-Series, a Bollywood music channel with 87.3 million subscribers. At the third spot is 5-Minute Crafts, a DIY project channel, with 50 million subscribers.

Going to Instagram, football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo leads the pack with 156 million followers. At second place is American singer Ariana Grande with 145.5 million followers, while singer-actress Selena Gomez’s 146.4 million followers firmly put her at the third spot.
