Don't worry, we are doing some of the work for you by breaking down what helped make these videos the Most Viewed Video on YouTube of all time.
Shape of You by Ed Sheeran - 4.17 billion YouTube views
The second most watched YouTube video is the Shape of You music video with over 4.17 billion video views. Another interesting detail is that he was actually number one on Billboard's Hot 100 Songs in 2017, beating Despacito. Unlike most videos, where the singer sings in front of the camera, Shape of You is like a 4 minute film telling the story of an athletic couple, and the song is just background music. The movie-style music video is not overly common, making it a compelling love story to watch. There are also some fun times when Ed Sheeran and a sumo wrestler fight in the ultimate match. It also contains a deep message of empowering women: Sheeran is a weakling over her love.
