"DESPACITO" IS THE MOST WATCHED VIDEO ON YOU TUBE. GANGNAM STYLE IS THE 3RD.

Even I watched it and I have no idea of what is going on in that regard. Two of them I never heard of.

Misleading picture.

Depends on who you ask, what year? Top 10? Its perspective. Poorly worded question.

Richard Jordan, I love it when people whine and cry when there are questions that do not interest them..... Richard you are no better than anyone else. I'm sure that there are people out there that think subjects you may enjoy, are archaic and rudimentary. Instead of putting people down for there interests.... why don't you take this site for what it is meant to be. It's supposed to fun and maybe learn something about a subject you know nothing about. I know very little about things that happened before I was born, but enjoy learning about them. Stop being so judgmental and enjoy it for what it is.... or option B... don't answer or comment on the question.

Star questions sick

Showing babies as hint was rticky since one of the choices was "baby".

This was actually a pretty easy one. I never watch YouTube, but Gangnam Style was really popular even on television a couple years ago. So I guessed correctly. I was just hoping it was NOT Justin Bieber. I'm ashamed to admit he's even from my country.

partial guess, I was lucky

Far too arcane! Who the hell watches enough youtube to even be familiar with each of these three choices. I don't mind difficult questions, but you're really dragging the bottom of the fact pool for such poor questions as this one.
