When it comes to YouTube views of his music videos Justin Bieber is getting close to a number that seems rather incredible, to say the least - 2 billion. Yes, that's 2 billion; as of Oct. 25, 2011, the Canadian super-crooner has had, according to Famecount.com, 1,979,837,800 views.
And counting.
At the rate the 17-year-old Bieb's material is getting viewed, and with the release of his song Mistletoe from his upcoming Christmas album, 'Under the Mistletoe' (the album will be out on Nov. 1), Bieber could hit that 2 billion figure in a very short period of time. Since the release of 'Mistletoe' from the Christmas album, Famecount, a social media aggregator that tracks social media numbers, lists Bieber as gaining over 6 million views daily.
Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga: Social Media Count War
It was actually almost one year ago exactly that Bieber and Lady Gaga each first hit the one billion Youtube views mark, each doing so at the end of October of 2010. At that time Bieber was beaten to that landmark number by Lady Gaga, who has since fallen behind him in Youtube views. However, at 1,874,045,835 views, relatively speaking, she's not all that far behind.
Just about 100,000,000.
According to Famecount Gaga leads not only Bieber in Twitter followers but the entire planet, with about 14,500,000 to Bieber's second place 13,400,000. As for that other major social media count, Facebook Fans, the leader there is Eminem, nearing 50,000,000; Lady Gaga is third and Justin Bieber in sixth.
Bieber Hit Baby Leads in Youtube Views
The song that has received the most Youtube views of any is Bieber's hit Baby, featuring Ludacris; that song now has about 650,000,000 views on its own. Lady Gaga's biggest performer is Bad Romance with over 425,000,000 views. Other high performing Bieber songs include his One Time and Never Say Never, that version featuring Jaden Smith.
Rihanna is 3rd in Youtube views (1.7 billion), Eminem 4th (1.5) and Shakira 5th (1,2 billion).
As of this writing Bieber is gaining an astonishing 2,600,000 Youtube views each and every day and that number is going to skyrocket when the video for Mistletoe is released. It is conceivable that his numbers could hit that 2 billion mark in Youtube views by early in November.
