YouTube has come to define the era of online video, so let’s take a look at their most popular videos of all time. We first did this list in August 2007, at which point Evolution of Dance by comedian Judson Laipply was number 1 with nearly 56 million views. The next update was September 2008, when Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend pop music video was number 1 with 103 million page views (although commenters argued that it may have gamed the system). In January 2010, Charlie bit my finger – again ! was number 1, with 148 million views.
Our latest update shows that Justin Bieber is still the only video over the 300 million views mark, after knocking Lady Gaga off the top spot in August. Bieber is adding over 1 million views every day! New to the top 10 this month is the video for Eminem’s ‘Love The Way You Lie,’ featuring Rihanna. Here is the top 10, as of October 2010:
