Youtube's most watched video is not by Beyonce, Justin Bieber or even BTS. The inmcredibly infectious childrens' song 'Baby Shark' has become the most watched video on the platform. On Monday i garnered seven billion plays and took the top spot on the video streaming platforms. 
 
The bane of parents and teachers worldwide, the South Korea-produced song has gone from the realm of children's YouTube to a global viral sensation, with a catchy and addictive melody buoyed by a hypnotically colourful video. 
 
The English version of the song 'Baby Shark Dance', has clocked in over seven billion views on YouTube, dethroning Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's 'Despacito' which had till now held the record of being the most-watched video on the platform. 
 
The ubiquitous children's song and earworm, first uploaded to YouTube in June 2016, is a remix of an American campfire song by the Seoul-based production company Pinkfong. 
 
The initial success on YouTube paved its route into the global music charts, with&nbsp; reaching the number 32 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in Januray 2019. 
 
The song is not just popular among children but the infectious tune has caught the fancy of adults across the world. The Washington Nationals baseball team took it up as an anthem and went on to win the World Series last year, prompting the White House to play the tune during the celebrations. 
 
One US town played the song on loop, while another, Florida's West Palm Beach, used the melody to try to discourage homeless people from congregating in a public area. 
 
It has also been pressed into anti-pandemic service, with a coronavirus-themed version, "Wash Your Hands", teaching children the importance of personal hygiene.

This video has dethroned 'Despacito' to become the most watched video on Youtube

Latin music star and entrepreneur Daddy Yankee has joined forces with Universal Music Group, a unit of French media conglomerate Vivendi SA, to create music, film and television projects, starting with a new track release on Friday.

The global entertainment partnership is “one of the biggest commitments to an artist in the history of Latin music,” the partners said in a statement on Thursday, without disclosing financial details.

Yankee’s new song “Don Don,” featuring fellow Puerto Rican rappers Anuel AA and Kendo Kaponi, will be rolled out by digital distributor Ingrooves Music Group, a unit of Universal Music, which is minority-owned by China’s Tencent Holdings Ltd. 
 
Yankee, also a songwriter, actor and producer, will develop visual media projects via Polygram Entertainment. 
Born Ramon Luis Ayala Rodriguez, Yankee, 44, is best known for the 2004 single “Gasolina,” the first reggaeton song nominated for a Latin Grammy Record of the Year award.

He is credited with coining the word reggaeton to describe the new dance music genre in the early 1990s that blends hip-hop, Latin Caribbean music and reggae rhythms with Spanish rapping and singing. 
 
“Despacito,” Yankee’s collaboration with Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi in 2017, scooped multiple Latin Grammys and Billboard awards that year.

Yankee has sold over 17 million albums, with hit singles such as 2018’s “Dura,” 2019’s “Con Calma,” “Gasolina,” “Rompe,” “Limbo” and “Que Tire Pa’Lante.” He has won over 100 industry awards.

Erika Ender made it to this year&#39;s official list of nominees of the Grammys and it&#39;s a first for any Latina performer to be included in the top honour.&nbsp;

She has now become the first Latina to be nominated for song of the year in the history of Grammys.&nbsp;

Erika got to know of the news while she was preparing to perform alongside&nbsp;Roberto Carlos at an annual Christmas special in Rio de Janeiro when she suddenly got a congratulatory tweet from the academy.&nbsp;

Reacting the news, she said, &quot;As I said in the Latin Grammys, it&#39;s not about competing, it&#39;s about sharing. We are several colleagues sharing as a dream team. Those who sing are obviously the face, but there are those of us who also write and produce, the people from behind who made it all possible -- [it&#39;s about] the importance of union through music.&quot;&nbsp;

She continued: &quot;Women are a minority, but any woman who is determined to achieve their dreams in an honest way, while persevering with their values and talent -- it&#39;s what I have to exemplify at this time. [I have to] raise my voice and empower other women, because I am the only woman involved in what is happening right now.&quot;

Erika also extended her gratitude to all those who helped her along the way to make &quot;Despacito&quot; what it is, &quot;because the road is not done alone.&quot;
