Last Updated on 6 years ago by

YouTube has become a prominent platform to showcase your talent to a wide variety of audiences. And depending on your content or your talent you’ll get views and likes. Video’s popularity can be measured by the number of views or number of likes. But more video views don’t always mean more likes. For example, you may recall “Rebecca Black’s Friday”, that video has gained 133 million views and 958K likes. But at the same time the number of thumbs down: 3.5 million. That’s more than triple the number of likes. Despite its high viewership, there are obviously more people who dislike the song than liking it.

This means the most liked videos on YouTube means something and is a hard thing to achieve. 

Here we’ve listed the most liked videos on YouTube below so you can see what it takes.
