If DH was the first single, it would have more views as well sis.

I think Wrecking Ball. It still has so much cultural cache. I could see in the future, a prominent use of the song (Super Bowl ad) or a new Miley controversy pushing the video toward 1B.

bs

Same can be said for Dark Horse. If DH was the lead single it'll probably be way past 1 billion already.

Your logic (or lack thereof).

All About that bass?

Let It Go by (Idina Menzel version) is nearly there

In that case, DH is already at 990 million views with the audio video

Both Katy and Taylor are lucky that Wrecking Ball wasn't Miley's lead.

Imagine the VIEWS she would have got with that. People were horrified by WCS video, so imagine if they saw WB first

None of those are even halfway there tho

3 days
DH-902m (+4m)
Roar-875.5m (+4.5)
AATB-747m (+7)
BS-743m (+10)
SIO-724.5 (+7.5)
Chandelier-661m (+6)

It'll be funny if roar ends up reovertaking DH after the 1b mark

DH-73.5 days
BS-77 days
Roar-83 days
AATB-108.5 days
SIO-111 days
Chandelier-169.5 days

Also I remember how back then DH had very few votes, before it became obv it was the biggest female vevo smash in ages

Congrats katy
In 3 months she'll have 2 1b videos

i havent thought about this

Well then Waka Waka has surpassed 1B already! Slaykira

Like.. WCS stole quite a bit of the "shock" effect. I know WB still shocked, but imagine it as a lead. I mean, having it second was definitely better for the era as it meant that she scored two hits from it. But I'd say WB would be over 1B views if it was the lead single off of Bangerz
