On January 13, Pinkfong, the Korean company behind the viral "Baby Shark" video has marked a new milestone in history.
On this day, Pinkfong made an announcement revealing that the 'Baby Shark Dance' became the first video in history to hit 10 billion views on YouTube.
This catchy tune released back in June 2016 has been beloved worldwide as it received immense attention from not only the children but even the adults. With its simple and repetitive melody, this song easily leaves a deep impression on every listener as they find themselves humming the catchy tune.
Last year, the video became the most-viewed YouTube video of all time in November, and now it has become the first YouTube video to surpass 10 billion views.
Videos from South Korea have set milestones on YouTube. Psy's "Gangnam Style" became the first video to hit 1 billion views on YouTube back in December 2012 and now "Baby Shark" is the first video to reach 10 billion views on the platform.
Congrats to Pinkfong on this fantastic achievement!
Pinkfong paved the way!
