There is no reason for me to believe that the numbers aren't legit there are many other videos that got over a billion views and some of them are a lot worse (Sorry, Baby, What Do You Mean?, Love Yourselve, Gangnam Style, Gentleman).  Actually as far as Justin Bieber songs go Sorry isn't actually not that bad but it still doesn't deserve over 2 billion view.  Also its pretty easy to figure out if a Youtube video got legit views by looking at the amount of comments and thumb up and thumb down votes it got.

All them videos also have their views added to them .

It works like this. Your a massive music label, you have a singer signed under your label but the is better singers then that person out there who sing the same style of songs only way better.

You do everything in your power to make sure your singer eclipsis them other singers by plastering them all over TV.

Making sure they are played all the time on radio, and making sure that when someone goes looking for a singer on youtube, your singer with their billion views is going to show up instead of the better singer who might have 1 or 2 or 10 million views.

Peoples brains are auto going to register that the person with the most views "Must" be better even if thats not the case...

Its called marketing.

Uhm, nope Psy was the first artist to get over a billion views and he is not associtated with a massive music label.  Getting over a billion views is really not that hard there are plenty of people that watch the same music video over ten times so you need less then 100 million of those to get over a billion views.

Elastic Heart is a much better song imo. Think it should have this songs success.

I kinda agree, only the version that doesn't feature The Weeknd though.
