Earlier, Lady Gaga was the most-viewed female artist on YouTube, however, now, Rihanna has taken over the crown!
Well, as of January 22nd, Billboard announced that Rihanna has exceeded 2 billion views on YouTube! The international sensation who sang We Found Love had 2,068,076,591 views by her name. And the mammoth count surpasses the records formerly set by Lady Gaga.
Interestingly, in October 2010, Lady Gaga set the record of becoming the first musician to receive more than one billion hits on YouTube! However, despite giving fine songs like Bad Romance and Telephone, and lately You and I and Marry the Night, Lady Gaga has not been able to sustain the tag of the most-viewed female artist on YouTube!
On the contrary, just after three months, We Found Love sung by Rihanna got 115 million views! How cool is that?
Anyhow, while both Lady Gaga and Rihanna have impressive views on YouTube, they are still far behind the teen sensation Justin Bieber! Justin Bieber is still YouTube’s most popular singer with over 2.2 billion views under his belt!
This is an eye-opener for all those who thought ‘Kolaveri Di’ is the most viewed video on YouTube! Tee-hee.
