The number of views that the K-POP songs at Youtube has been surveyed and the song which has received the most love is Wonder Girls’ ‘Nobody’. The video was uploaded in November 2008 and it has already reached over 50,000,000 views.

The followings are Shinee who has 3 songs, BIGBANG has 2 and G-Dragon has 1. JYP, SME and YGE are whom all these groups belong to.


All the songs which have entered the TOP 20 are the dance music of the idol groups. It suggests that the combination of K-POP idol and dancing music are well received by the world. ‘Big Bang and 2NE1 ‘s ‘Lollipop’ and ‘Cabi Song’ of SNSD and 2PM have attracted so many views already.


lmao please pardon the MS Word red underlining. I was lazy.

It is said that the popularity of the videos have been raised for the agencies have made separate channels for their artists. The number of the subscribers for these 3 companies has reached 800,000 and it has accumulated a record of over 700,000,000. The scholars who analyzed Pop Music said, "The K-POP idol craze has been helping them to promote. They are very popular in North America and Europe with the good accessibility of the Internet . He further explained, ‘the opening of these channels has kept helping them for their new promotions and the channels can also help releasing the on-going process of the works they are doing.’

btw the "Nobody" YT video they speak of is actually a performance of the song on M! Countdown, not the MV.

Oh i see the flawlessness that is Mirotic is not up there. It's okay. I ain't even mad, nope, not one bit.

Look at all the SM artists slaying everybody right and left, and then YG and JYP, too.

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Well, "Mirotic" had so many people uploading their own copies of it. I do wonder how many million views it would've had if the sment YT channel was as active in uploading back then.

i find it almost embarrassing that bonamana is that high up xD

Iirc, Suju fandom went crazy trying to up the views for it within the first few weeks of its release.

[laurent.livejournal.com]

When I didnt' know anything about Kpop my friend sent me Hello by SHINee and I raped the replay button. Like, everyday. Til I finally caved and decided to start downloading the music.

I've seen all of SuJu's vids more than I can count (especially Perfection, Sorry, and Super Girl). Same goes for DBSK'S Mirotic and Wrong Number.

HARU, HARU IS SUCH A GOOD VID OMG I GET SO EMOTIONAL WHEN I WATCH IT.

Ugh, Kpop vids are the best.

Are they only looking at official channel views? Bc there are lots of unofficial versions which get lots of view counts

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

I think they are, except for the WG one. I'd like to see a list where the unofficial uploads are considered. I bet the ranking would be different and some videos would sneak up in that list.

Suju - It's You, is imo the greatest song to come out of Korea < I love it so much, it actually makes me emotional, it nearly made me cry the first time.

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

i'm a bit surprised at RDR because it's not as much of a "hallyu" song... it'd probably make more sense to me if genie was in rdr's place

[madelyn93.livejournal.com]

[t-domination.livejournal.com]

surprised taeyang's wedding dress isn't on that
but damn big 3 indeed

[jaded-skys.livejournal.com]

I think there were too many other accounts uploading it/I don't think they had the offical YG account at that time. BUT YEAH, I KNOW.

[hajar-a.livejournal.com]

SM have got = 11 MV's + the one with JYP
YG got= 7 ,

Im addicted to all MV's , specially the one that have (dance ver.)

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

Woot girls on top! I still don't understand why that 'nobody' performance got so many views instead of their mv.

[linnhe.livejournal.com]

Thank you for translation OP, MS Word squigglies and all <3

[montchi92.livejournal.com]

Doesn't SuJu M - Super Girl have almost 15 million views as well? Or that doesnt count since they're a subgroup and well it's in chinese after all so technically not kpop..? yet I'm SO proud of my boys ♥ If they counted the number of views of all the versions of the mvs they upload I'm sure some of their videos will be even higher (as for It's you <33 and Sorry sorry)~

And yaay most of my fav groups are on the chart! I'm so glad for all of them :)

[violetrosie.livejournal.com]

Damn, SNSD owning this shit.

Congrats to everyone~!

[peachypie21.livejournal.com]

Honestly I would put Nobody as my fav song eva!
I didn't even think about it until I looked up its
release date but I have been jamming to that song for
YEARS! haha (and I still don't know all the words :P )

[ayeveee.livejournal.com]

mte

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

snsd has gee, oh, rdr and hoot there o-o they'll get more after how many years

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

Genie/Tell Me Your Wish probably would have been up here too if SM didn't take it down and then re-upload it. I think someone said that, am I right or not? :/

It seems like on average, SNSD has the most views. Good job girls!

[ss501pixie.livejournal.com]

irk SNSD would have owned the whole list if SM didn't troll us :/

[jela-ow.livejournal.com]

I feel like JYP would have more on that list if they had set up a channel years before. God knows how popular Rain and WG's Tell me were. But yay and congrats to everyone!

[ayeveee.livejournal.com]

nice

[o-o-mai-o-o.livejournal.com]

Rebecca Black has more views than all of them.
smh

[asphyxiiated-x.livejournal.com]

Why am I not surprised that WG is number one?
I guess with having toured in America..

[ss501pixie.livejournal.com]
