    YouTube. Is Your Video in the 100 Million Views Club?

    youtubeEver wonder which are the videos that have managed to accumulate more than 100 million views?

    Using a specific metric to measure video views across different video media platforms, Visible Measures has the answer to that.

    Here’s how the metric works, quoted from its website:

    “Video views measure the aggregate audience reach across all of the campaign-related placements. Views can be categorized according to their underlying placement type: seeded views and viral views.”

    • Seeded Views: Any views originating from videos uploaded by the content creator.
    • Viral Views: Viral views originate from viral placements – copies and derivative works. When a viewer watches a spoof of a campaign, it counts as a viral view.
    • The Top 5
      1. Soulja Boy: Crank That

      2. Twilight
