I watched the video of hideaway by kiesza and realized it has 500 million views and a second video identical has 267 million totalling 767 million (3/4 of a billion views!). However, the song was not a very big hit in the US only reaching #17 on the charts in 2014 and heard it was mainly coastal cities who spun it (a lot of midwest cities ignored it.) However, worldwide it was a bigger hit, though US is the second highest youtube user count. I see that with several other dance-type hits which wete never big in the US like symphony by clean bandit (#30 on US charts in 2017, 1.2 billion views.) Thoughts?

Im just surprised how some have such a high count! Especially hideaway by kiesza.
How is that even possible?
How much money has Baby Shark made? Popular children's song becomes first YouTube video to hit 10 billion views
Popular children’s song Baby Shark has garnered over 10 billion views. This is the first time in YouTube history that a video has amassed the aforementioned viewcount.
www.sportskeeda.com
"YouTube Money Calculator has estimated that the song has made a whopping $17 million on the platform alone, since its release. The mentioned amount is after Google’s 45% cut."
Looks like *how* you make money on that (and every other...) platform is to be POPULAR to billions of people, not tens of millions of people.
Or even because they really like the song. I just played one of my favorites three times, and have been doing so with that and other tunes for a long, long time.
The weird thing is the rest of kiesza singles dont do nearly as well. Slow motion fighting from last year only has 14k views!
