“Baby Shark Dance” Has Marched Past 10 Billion Views On YouTube

“Baby shark dance” has marched past 10 billion views on YouTube.

The modern kids’ classic has marched past 10 billion views on YouTube, cementing its status as the platform’s most-viewed video of all time. That means that “Baby Shark Dance,” first released in 2016, has been viewed on average nearly 1.3 times by every person on Earth, based on recent world population estimates.

The video, with its earworm-y “doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo” refrain, surpassed “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee in November 2020 to capture the crown as the most-viewed video on YouTube. “Despacito” remains in the No. 2 spot with 7.7 billion views to date.

Riding the wave of its internet popularity, Baby Shark has spread its fins into new ventures including a TV animated series on Nickelodeon, a special on Netflix, a global merchandise licensing program, live tours, interactive games and NFTs.

“Baby Shark’s Big Show!”, the preschool series co-produced with Nickelodeon Animation Studio, rolled out internationally in 2021 and has been greenlit for a second season. In addition, a feature film sequel is in the works to “Pinkfong and Baby Shark’s Space Adventure,” the singalong special that hit the No. 5 spot on Netflix’s Top 10 most-viewed list in the U.S.
