According to its research, YouTube’s most popular children’s video – with 9.8B views – was ‘Baby Shark’ on the South Korean Pinkfong channel. Not only is this the most-watched kids’ video, it’s also the most-watched video of all time on YouTube.

Aside from Baby Shark, ‘Johny Johny Yes Papa ’, on the channel LooLoo Kids, was the most watched video, with 6 billion views. The video is of a popular nursery rhyme that encourages children to be honest after Johny gets caught eating sugar by his father.

Next up was ‘Bath Song’ on ‘Cocomelon – Nursery Rhymes’. Despite being third on the most-watched list, ‘Cocomelon’ was the most subscribed-to kids YouTube channel with 122M subscribers.

The top 10 most-watched YouTube videos from the most subscribed-to kids’ channels were:

CEO of hosting.co.uk Frederick Schiwek says: “YouTube is host to some of the most popular and watched videos in the world.

“Children often have their own devices and they know exactly how to navigate their way around and find their favourite videos. Children-themed channels are some of the most subscribed-to on the platform and we expect to see this continue to increase in coming years.”
