WHYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! - Nickelodeon & Pinkfong's Baby Shark Reaches 10 BILLION VIEWS on YouTube

 No one is safe from the kids song sharks of South Korea, no matter how hard you try.

After 14 months of being the most watched video in YouTube history, Nickelodeon and Pinkfong's Baby Shark has set another GROUNDBREAKING record in YouTube's 17-year history. On Thursday January 13th, the 2016 "Baby Shark Dance" (doo doo doo doo doo doo) music video has became the first video in history to score a WHOPPING 10,000,000,000 views on YouTube, more views than the entire human population in the universe (I AM SERIOUS) and 2.3 more than Despacito by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee ft. Justin Bieber alone.

Baby Shark launched as a cable TV series in December 2020 which was punishment for those who hated the first preschool show based on YouTube channel Ryan's Mystery Playdate for zero reason whatsoever and were forced to watch it. Since the show's launch it has scored swam its way from the bottom of Swimming in the Deep Blue Sea to the top of the Nick cable charts as the bronze #3 popular show for children in the ages 2-5+ category. A Broadway musical based on it has been on the road since June 2019 and both sides of the fish tank couldn't ask for anything more.

Baby Shark's Big Show! is the second of five preschool TV series based on YouTube channels alongside existing hits Ryan's ToysReviews Mystery Playdate, Cartoon Network's take on Lucas the Spider as part of its recently successful USA import of the British preschool channel Cartoonito and Nick Jr. Australian series CKN Toys' Calvin & Kassin's Play Power. Additional TV ventures still currently in the pipeline include Nick's take on The Tiny Chef Show slated to come rising out of the oven later this year.

A huge congratulations to the entire Nickelodeon and SmartStudy Pinkfong teams in the USA and Korea who have brought together a YouTube masterpiece.
