A year or two ago, I ran a game for songs on YouTube that had more than 1b views. That was fun, but the list was a bit limited. It also included a bunch of songs like [redacted] and [redacted] that likely get more play there than on Spotify.

In this game, you also want to name a song (artist too) that has more than 1B views. There are 326 of them.

Initial entries are due by Thursday, December 1st. New entries will be due 48h after that till we crown a winner.
People may join late till some arbitrary time into the game that I choose.

Depending on how many people enter we'll either say 2x wrong answers before you're eliminated or one and done.

Note: The official play list has 324 songs on it, but I'll be using the slightly expanded list with 326 songs as compiled by VisualCapitalist.com which has 2 songs which just crossed the threshold.

Should be obvious but: NO RESEARCH.

Good luck!

thank u, next

Honestly not sure what eras or genres this will slant towards.

I'll just guess Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You and hope that works.

Sia - Chandelier

Taylor Swift- we are never ever ever getting back together

Ed Sheeran - Perfect

If this does not have over 1b I might as well give up now

Dynamite - BTS

pinkfong - baby shark do do do do do do

Reading comprehension fail on my part, the song I submitted is by Ariana Grande.

This is acceptable for this round. Thank you for clarifying.

Sign of the Times - Harry Styles

I love this song

Some people are in. Would like more please.

jesus I don't know a single one of these besides Mariah(and Taylor but I don't like that song)

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You

Bad Guy - Billie Eilish

Given the number of participants (lower than I'd hoped) we'll give everyone at least 1 miss, so everyone is still in.
Might give everyone 2x if no one else joins the game.

Next round, go go!

Picks due by Saturday, December 3rd, at 8pm.
Next one after that will be Monday, December 5th at 8pm.

After that we'll do every Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 8pm as per the usual.

Still accepting new entries for at least 2 more rounds. Just need to make up the missed picks.

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off

Sia/David Guetta - Titanium

Are you gonna tell us how many listens these songs have?

Wonderwall - Oasis

Ed Sheeran - Shape of You

Ed Sheeran- Shivers

psy - gangnam style
