: "Baby Shark" becomes the first YouTube video to hit 10 billion views

"Baby Shark Dance" has become the first YouTube video to receive 10 billion views!

The catchy singalong by Pinkfong (Republic of Korea) was first uploaded in 2016, becoming the most viewed children’s music video on YouTube, before surpassing Luis Fonsi’s "Despacito" in 2020 as the most viewed music video on YouTube and the most viewed video on YouTube overall.

The song "Baby Shark" most likely originated as a campfire song, dating back to at least the 20th century.

During the chant, campers used their arms to imitate the various jaw shapes and sizes of Baby Shark, Mommy Shark, Daddy Shark, Grandma Shark and Grandpa Shark.

While Pinkfong’s version has the sharks go hunting and then run away, other versions of the song involve eating sailors and other humans.

Sung by Hope Segoine, aged 10 years old at the time, it peaked at No.32 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No.38 in the Global 200.

However, the YouTube video became a viral sensation in Indonesia and South Korea, quickly spreading to the rest of Asia and beyond in 2017.

The dance craze's popularity was taken to even higher levels after being performed by Guinness World Records title holders BLACKPINK.

By February 2021, "Baby Shark" had more views than the entire human population of Earth, becoming the first YouTube video to do so. If its 10 billion views were played back-to-back, they would run for 41,095 years.

Despite being overtaken as the most viewed video, "Despacito" is still the most liked video on YouTube with 47 million likes as of January 2022, compared to 33 million for "Baby Shark".

"Despacito" also holds the record for being the first YouTube video to receive 5 billion views.

1. DAVIDO

OBO has run into trouble with the police a few times. In 2011, he was arrested by members of the police force sent by his father. Davido had dropped out of school without his father’s permission. He traveled to Atlanta and then London, breaking his SIM card and maintaining radio silence. Upon his arrival back to Lagos, with tattoos and piercings instead of a business management degree, police operatives sent by his father apprehended him. Davido and Chief Adeleke later agreed he would get a degree from a private university in Nigeria if he wanted to continue his music career. Although he agreed, OBO broke this agreement by releasing music and performing at shows while in school. In an interview on the breakfast show hosted by CharlamagnethaGod, he said, “I remember the first show, I was upstairs in the green room, and was about to come down, I looked down and there were like 50 policemen. Back then they took my ex, they arrested her, they took my road manager, they arrested the promoter. I remember I went through the back fence, was running. I picked up the phone and my dad was like, if you don’t come to the police station, all your friends are going to jail. I got to the police station and the policeman’s phone starts ringing and it was my song playing. He let us go at some point.”Davido was rumoured to have been arrested again in November 2019 for allegedly stabbing Michael aka Dream Chaser, who is said to be the younger brother of Abu Abel, the CEO of Obimzy Records in Dubai. A tipsy Davido was approached by the victim and things got awry quickly with Davido allegedly smashing a bottle on the victim’s head. He was arrested immediately while the victim rushed to the hospital. However, his management denied the report, and the father of three was spotted with Mayorkun in London the day after

Must Read:Davido finally launches his own social token $ECHOKE

Davido’s announcement explained that he was able to build the token with the help of Bitsika Africa, a remittance company, who reportedly launched a crypto platform called Omegoat. He stated, “I built this with ’s new crypto company on the Binance Smart Chain (BEP-20). Make sure to follow them.”

Davido also stated that there will not be token sales in the spirit of ‘democracy’ but he will be giving out the tokens through periodic giveaways and the first one is slated to begin on the 28th of November 2021. He stated, “In the spirit of democracy, we will not be selling the tokens to the public. We will release the tokens to the fans through periodic giveaways throughout the next 12 months. First giveaway on NOV 28th.

According to the whitepaper, the token was created, “To turn fans in the entertainment and media industry from spectators into influencers and stakeholders,” as it cited the growth of the global entertainment industry.

The token hopes to solve the issue of limited direct fan engagement. It explains that the current entertainment industry offers, for the most part, a transactional relationship with fans where they pay to listen to music, attend concerts/shows and buy merchandise without any reciprocal benefits. The token solves this problem

“$ECHOKE partners with artists, festivals, streaming apps, fintechs, parties, hotels, clubs and more to offer giveaways and discounts on their services. These partners are provided $ECHOKE tokens, and in return, they offer giveaways in exchange for the tokens as well as exclusive discounts on services,” the whitepaper stated.

According to the tokenomics, there will be a total supply of 2.5 billion tokens and no new tokens can be minted.
