1. The Unshakable Legend: ‘Gangnam Style’
The undisputed number one is, of course, PSY’s “Gangnam Style.” Released in 2012, this video didn’t just go viral—it was a historical event that famously “broke” YouTube’s view counter and acted as a catalyst for K-Pop’s global expansion. More than a decade later, it maintains a lead that is still untouchable by anyone else in the industry.
2. The Duopoly of Titans: BTS and BLACKPINK
A quick look at the list reveals one clear fact: the K-Pop view count landscape is dominated by a duopoly. Excluding PSY, BTS and BLACKPINK occupy 13 of the remaining 14 spots. This is a staggering testament to the power of their global fandoms (ARMY and BLINKs) and their consistent delivery of high-quality, visually spectacular music videos that command international attention.
3. The Prestige of the ‘Billion-View Club’
It’s astounding to note that the top 14 videos have all surpassed the one-billion-view mark. Reaching a billion views means a song has transcended its core fanbase and become a true global hit, repeatedly enjoyed by the general public. The high production value, captivating choreography, and compelling concepts within these MVs are powerful drivers for repeat viewing. It’s also worth noting that even a dance performance video (for BLACKPINK’s “How You Like That”) has made the list, proving just how central choreography is to K-Pop’s appeal.
The all-time ranking tells a clear story of K-Pop’s global journey. If “Gangnam Style” kicked the door open for the world to discover K-Pop, then BTS and BLACKPINK stormed through it, building an empire and cementing the genre as a dominant force in mainstream global culture. Each video on this list is a shining moment in K-Pop’s history.
