Rihanna is the VEVO Queen, Who will be 2nd by the end of 14?

[Wolfy]

The current VEVO queen is Rihanna. Her lead is so huge that no one will come close to beating her in years. But, 2nd place is currently pretty competitive. By the end of 2014, who will be the 2nd most viewed diva on VEVO?

Currently, the battle for 2nd place is between Gaga, Shakira, Katy & Beyonce. Katy's "Dark Horse" will surely give her a surge, as will Gaga's new video that is being shot at Hearst Castle. I dunno what Beyonce will release after DIL. CRTFY continues to bring in strong #'s and then there's Shakira's 2nd single. Waka by Shak will get a big boost once the World Cup starts. This battle for #2 will be close. Who do you think will be 2nd?

The current numbers are:

In the past 30 days Shakira's VEVO has been viewed 228,682,117 times, but Katy had 144,235,554 views without a new video being out this month. DH will surely give her a big VEVO surge. Gaga's # this month is significantly smaller (38,838,489). Interest in her videos was in decline this month.

Betting on Gaga's new video. :'(

[Deleted]

Beyonce has 14 videos left that she can upload at any point she chooses (I'm assuming that both Yonce and Partition will be uploaded when Partition is pushed) and I don't see her era slowing down anytime soon. If I were a betting man, I would bet on Bey right now.

[surfy]

Either Beyonce with her visual album of EPICNESS

or Katy with her stereotyping every known ethnicity there is.

[.indulgecountry]

Shakira. With her worldwide reach, she'll take it.

Beyonce will need strong singles though, XO only has 24,642,268 views.

You clearly left out the fact that Drunk In Love is approaching 90 million views and is blowing up stateside. ;)

I meant that she will need strong singles to get big numbers from her videos. DIL is a strong single. Just releasing all 14 of her videos will get her decent numbers but not huge #'s. Her videos for non-singles and minor hits will end up performing similarly to XO.

DIL is growing fast, today it was #3:

1) CRTFY
2) Timber
3) DIL

Katy is turning into a VEVO powerhouse. Roar has 376,695,890 views. With numbers that big DH will likely also have a big first week on VEVO.

[Wolfy]

Interestingly, CRTFY is causing a Beautiful Liar surge. At one point it had 400,000 views a day in January. That song counts towards Beyonce's VEVO though.

I would say Katy but Shakira's international success makes this a hard decision to make between the two. If Bey releases all the videos from her album on VEVO, she might have a shot as well. Gaga has no chance.

[Wolfy]

Katy's Dark Horse got 3.5M views in 24 hours. Once the official number is out it might be 4M. She wasn't close to taking Miley's record, or even CRTFY. 3.5M wasn't very good for Dark Horse. CRTFY is currently averaging around 3-4M a day. Dark Horse was very close to being #2 on it's debut day.

Up next, Gagas new video. I wonder how close she will get to beating Miley's record?

Miley 19M
CRTFY 17.2M

Miley gets to keep her wig.... for now...

Considering how much her public profile is diminishing, I doubt she'll even come close. She might not even beat Katy.

[Hussy]

I would say Katy.
Dark Horse will bring BIG numbers in the coming few months

In the next few months the only close battle will be between Dark Horse & CRTFY. Katy needs 39,687,375 views to pass Shakira. As of today, this is what the race for #2 looks like:

to catch up to Gaga...
Shakira needs 123,918,197
Katy needs 163,605,572
Beyonce needs 231,844,862

to catch up to Shakira...
Katy Perry needs 39,687,375
Beyonce needs 107,926,665

to catch up to Katy Perry...
Beyonce needs 68,239,290

[Wolfy]

We are getting a lot of movement on VEVO! CRTFY is still getting 3-4M a day. Katy's video though is new, what's more impressive is that people are going back and watching Roar after they watch DH. Currently, DH is #1, CRTFY is #2 and Roar is #4. Katy will get big numbers this month.

Currently its:

Rihanna 4.73 B (+.02)
Gaga 2.68 B (+.01)
Shakira 2.57 B (+.04)
Katy 2.54 B (+.04)
Beyonce 2.45 B (+.02)

Partition is coming out on Tuesday, so Beyonce will get a nice boost this month also. This race for #2 is getting very competitive! Currently, the biggest movement is coming from Katy & Shakira.

[Au$tin]

I'd bet:

2. Katy
3. Bey
4. Shakira
5. Gaga

By the end of the year.

[Wolfy]

Since right now its between Katy & Shakira, here's the 7 day change in views:

Katy 39,267,578
Shakira 36,716,491

Since this was the debut week for Dark Horse, CRTFY is still performing pretty strong.

[sara]

Overall, Katy.

For the amount of time their videos have been up, Miley. WB has been Top 3 on Vevo since it's release in September and is on its way to becoming the most liked Youtube video ever.

WB is a VEVO powerhouse. It will end up on the most viewed videos of all time, but that's just one video. Miley's total is 1.41 B. She's not a contender for the #2 spot. At least not in the near future. I suppose Miley could catch up if she has a few more big videos this year, but right now it looks unlikely.

WB is moving along very quickly, it could take the top spot from Bieber. Personally, I hope it does! I don't like Bieber. Out of the current top 8 only WB and Waka are moving along quickly. If it continues, WB will be #1 and Waka #2.

I wish her older songs (specifically Party In The USA) had been re-uploaded to her VEVO after she left HWR. PITUSA alone has 300mil+ views and gains a significant amount every 4th of July. But yes, she's definitely not a contender for the overall #2 spot. It's just crazy how without Wrecking Ball and We Can't Stop her overall number would go down by almost 1 billion!

Part of me still hopes that any of those songs will swoop in and beat Bieber to the 1 billion mark but it doesn't look likely :(

[Wolfy]

Bieber will be the first song to hit 1 billion, he's too close. But, WB will eventually take it from him. That song is definitely going to eventually get to #1. Its moving too fast.

That's not on Vevo. It's a YouTube video. We are talking about the Vevo record.

Oooh I see, my bad. I always get confused.

[Rocky]

Me. I'll release a music video shaking my bottom and passing them all but Rihanna. She does it better than me.

[Wolfy]

In just a month there's been a lot of movement on the chart! Katy already took the #2 spot. Gaga fell to #4. Here are the current top vevo queen numbers:
vidstatsx.com/vevo-most-viewed

1) Rihanna 4.85 B
2) Katy Perry 2.84 B
3) Shakira 2.75 B
4) Lady Gaga 2.75 B
5) Beyonce 2.61 B


The current top 5 today is:
www.vevo.com/browse/top-videos

1) Dark Horse
2) Can't Remember To Forget You
3) G.U.Y.
4) Empire
5) Roar

Currently, it looks like Katy & Shakira will continue to climb the fastest. Katy's "Dark Horse" and "Roar" continue to get very high views, CRTFY also. Its also interesting that the same VEVO queens continue to dominate the top 5. Beyonce's videos are underperforming. Today, Partition was #54 on vevo.

[popbox]

Gaga made the music video relevant again at a time when it was increasingly irrelevant, so I hope she retains 2nd place for as long as possible. Katy and Shakira's vids have kinda sucked this era.
