5. Party Rock Anthem – 900 million

We have officially passed the 900 million mark for videos. At this point, a song’s potential to reach the billion in undeniable, no matter when it was released. The first song in this bracket is the prophetic “Party Rock Anthem,” which was released by middling pop group LMFAO in 2011 and became exactly what it calls itself: an anthem.

Back at the turn of the decade, it was impossible to escape this song in nightclubs, shopping malls, automobiles, or even the Sahara Desert. Everyone was listening to it and shuffling (everyday!)
