In December 2012, "Gangnam Style" by Psy became the first video to reach one billion views. By June 2015, only "Baby" by Justin Bieber had also managed to pass this threshold, but, by October 2015, a total of ten videos had done so, and the number grew further to 100 in February 2018. Considering older videos that pre-dated YouTube's creation in 2005 but were added later:

"November Rain" by Guns N' Roses became the first video made prior to YouTube's creation to reach this threshold by July 2018.

"Numb" by Linkin Park was the first 2000s video predating YouTube to reach 1 billion views in November 2018.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen was the first 1970s video (and pre-1990s video) to reach 1 billion views in July 2019.

"Sweet Child o' Mine" by Guns N' Roses was the first 1980s video to reach 1 billion views in October 2019.

"November Rain" is a song by the American hard rock band Guns N' Roses. Written by the band's lead vocalist Axl Rose, it was released as a single in 1992 from their third studio album, "Use Your Illusion I" (1991).

The music video, directed by Andy Morahan, was inspired by Del James’s short story "Without You", for which he is credited in the long version of the video. The short story portrays a rock star struggling to come to terms with the loss of his girlfriend, who committed suicide by gunshot after he repeatedly strayed from their relationship. "November Rain" is one of the most expensive music videos ever.
