Most watched songs
Hi everyone.
I've been working on creating a rigorous list of the top 100 most-watched singing competition songs on YouTube (AGT and beyond), using all instances of the songs (official and unofficial). I've got a few entries where I noted down viewer numbers but forgot to save the URL, and when I went back to find them I couldn't. So I thought I'd see whether anyone might be able to help!
These are the AGT ones where I'm missing URLs/proof for the highest viewer numbers:
-
Angelina Jordan - Bohemian Rhapsody - AGT Champions - 110 million (next highest is 18 million)
-
Grace VanderWaal - I Don't Know My Name - AGT - 118 million (next highest is 10 million)
-
Kodi Lee - A Song For You - AGT - 65 million (next highest is 53 million)
-
Putri Ariani - Loneliness/Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word - 60 million (next highest is 10 million)
-
Richard Goodall - Don't Stop Believin' - AGT - 42 million (next highest is 17 million)
They're all well-known competitors so the numbers seem at least somewhat believable, and given how careful I've been, it seems unlikely I would have made a mistake... but if I have it will change their position on the list quite significantly, with all except Kodi Lee not making the top 100.
There are a few different ways to do this, but I decided that I would count 'singer's journey'-style compilations towards the audition viewer numbers, as long as the song is included in full (seeing as people will click on it intending to watch at least the first song!).
Any help would be much appreciated - particularly sharing of URLs, but if you've got reasons to believe these numbers might be accurate or inaccurate, I'm up for hearing opinions too. Thanks!
