List of most - viewed YouTube videos - wikipedia List of most - viewed YouTube videos `` Despacito '' by Luis Fonsi ( left ) featuring Daddy Yankee ( right ) is the most viewed video on YouTube, with over 5.1 billion views As of May 2018. YouTube is an American video - sharing website headquartered in San Bruno, California. Since its establishment in 2005, the website has featured a `` most viewed '' section, which lists the most viewed videos on the site.

As of May 2018, the five fastest videos to reach the one billion view mark are `` Hello '' ( 87 days ), `` Despacito '' ( 96 days ), `` Shape of You '' ( 97 days ), `` Mi Gente '' ( 103 days ) and `` Échame la Culpa '' ( 111 days ).
