Bieber: 2010's most viral artist

17 December 2010

Justin Bieber is the world's most-streamed artist in 2010. According to online video analytics company TubeMogul, his staggering 1.07 billion streams this year means that one of every 14 video streams from the top five publishers (EMI, Hollywood Records, Sony Music, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group) was a Bieber clip.

The December 7 figures’ majority includes streams from YouTube and MySpace. His video for Baby garnered 405 million streams on YouTube at the time of reporting.

The 16-year-old popstar trumped queen of pop Lady Gaga, who, despite her controversial videos and tendency to use meat as a fabric, trailed behind Bieber by a massive 190 million views. The pop-queen came in second in the top 10 list with 879 million streams, including 316 million views on YouTube for her Bad Romance video.

Eminem comes in third with 709 million streams and has two clips in YouTube’s all-time top 10 list. Love The Way You Lie is ranked 5th with 228 million streams and Not Afraid is 7th with 163 million.
