YouTube Celebrates Its Sixth Birthday and Declares Some Statistics

Did you remember when did YouTube launch? Six years has gone since YouTube began its video broadcasting service. The Google subsidiary celebrates its sixth birthday this month on its official blog. It's no doubt that YouTube has dominated the online video content service for a long time. The YouTube Team is very proud of this. They release some statistics to honor the sixth birthday and some achievements have made on the blog.


Below are the whopping statistics they release.


1. Currently, YouTube globally receives 3 billion views every single day, which has grown by 50 percent during the past 365 days. "That's the equivalent of nearly half the world's population watching a YouTube video each day", as YouTube official blog described.


2. Last month, United States Internet users yielded 5.1 billion video playback times on YouTube. "[..]every U.S. resident watching at least nine videos a day", the announcement blog post said.


3. Each minute, over 48 hours of videos are uploaded to YouTube, or a 100 percent increase during the past 12 months.




The YouTube Team generalizes 3 reasons attributed to the above great achievements:


1. Faster processing of uploads.
2. Longer upload lengths.
3. Live streaming events, such as the Royal Wedding.


Happy Birthday to YouTube and wish it offers more high quality content to our audience!


Here is the first ever video posted on YouTube. It was dubbed 'Me at the zoo' showing YouTube's co-founder Jawed Karim speaking in front of elephants at a zoo. You can download it with this YouTube Download software.

Download Beyonce - Run The World (Girls) Music Video

Beyoncé - Run The World (Girls) single cover
Hello everyone! I'm back. Let's begin our music discussion now. Today I will talk something about Beyoncé's latest single Run the World (Girls).


Run the World (Girls) serves as the lead single in Beyonce's upcoming studio album 4. The album name is a little strange, right? Beyoncé explained that 4 is her special number as she was born on the 4th day of September and April 4th is her wedding day. Music video of Run the World (Girls) was released last week. Beyonce premiered the video on May 18th during 'American Idol'. Then she put the MV to her official website on the same day.


Here is the video on YouTube. You can download Beyonce – Run the World (Girls) from YouTube with this YouTube Downloader program, And this is the Mac version.


The music video is amazing, right? Of course, Beyoncé has put a lot of time and money to the video. To make the video, the pop diva works with 8 different choreographers! Someone said that the high-heeled boots in the video copies from Lady Gaga. Maybe it's true as I remember Lady Gaga has the similar boots. The video is directed by Francis Lawrence, a professional music video director and film director.


Beyoncé said that Run the World (Girls) is a risk as it's "so different: it felt a bit African, a bit electronic and futuristic." She also said that she likes to challenge herself to make some breakthrough. "As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That's how I've gotten to where I am", as the pop singer said.


Beyoncé - Run The World (Girls) lyrics


Girls, we run this motha (yeah!) x4
GIRLS!


Who run the world? Girls! x4
We run this motha? Girls! x4
Who run the world? Girls! x4


[Beyonce - Verse 1]


Some of them men think they freak this like we do
But no they don't
Make your cheques come at they neck,
Disrespect us no they won't


Boy don't even try to take us
Boy this beat is crazy
This is how they made me
Houston, Texas baby
This goes out to all my girls
That's in the club rocking the latest
Who will buy it for themselves and get more money later


I think I need a barber
None of these hoes can fade me
Im so good with this,
I remind you im so hood with this


Boy im just playing, come here baby
Hope you still like me, If you hate me
My persuasion can build a nation
In this our, our love we can devour
You'll do anything for me


[Chorus]


Who run the world? Girls! x4
We run this motha? Girls! x4


Who run the world? Girls! x4


[Beyonce - Verse 2]


It's hot up in here
DJ don't be scared to run this, run this back
I'm repping for the girls who taking over the world
http://www.elyricsworld.com/run_the_world_(girls)_lyrics_beyonce.html
Have me raise a glass for the college grads


Anyone rolling I'll let you know what time it is
You can't hold me
I broke my 9 to 5 and copped my cheque
This goes out to all the women getting it in,
Get on your grind
To the other men that respect what I do
Please accept my shine


Boy you know you love it
How we're smart enough to make these millions
Strong enough to bare the children
Then get back to business
See, you better not play me
Don't come here baby
Hope you still like me
If you hate me!


[Bridge]


My persuasion can build a nation
In this hour
Our love we can devour
You'll do anything for me


[Chorus]


Who run the world? Girls! x4
We run this motha? Girls! x4
Who run the world? Girls! x4

YouTube 100 Tells You the Hottest YouTube Music

YouTube 100 music chart
Something amazing happened on YouTube two days ago. It's YouTube 100 - a weekly updated chart used for showing the top 100 popular music content streamed on the Google-owned video site. The chart launched on YouTube Music just a couple of hours ago. YouTube Music Product Manager Chris LaRosa announced the news on YouTube Official Blog.

"The YouTube 100 measures song traffic across official music videos, user-uploaded videos and viral debuts..", LaRosa said. So the chart counts not only fame pop singers' songs, but also music works from amateurs, which is the major difference among some existing music charts, such as Billboard Hot 100 and VEVO's charts. Everyone has the chance to shine their new idea in their music videos whether it's viral debut, a parody, remix of an existing song or your own version of a song or a music video. For example, I find a fan-made video showing lyrics of Adele's Someone Like You at No.42 on the chart.

This week, Pop Queen Lady Gaga's music video 'Judas' is at the second place on the YouTube 100 chart and Bruno Mars's 'The Lazy Song' music video is at No.5. Jennifer Lopez's 'On The Floor' tops the chart and Rebecca Black's 'Friday' is in the top 10. Check this YouTube Downloader if you want to download them to your computer.

The YouTube 100 music chart offers a better way for uses to track song popularity. What's more, it offers more chances to not only professional singes but also music fans to show their music works. I appreciate the chart and expect more great features from YouTube in the future.

YouTube had been working on helping users to discover popular and trending videos on the site. For example, in January this year, YouTube Acquired Fflick to help users discover and share hot videos from social media sites.

YouTube's Royal Wedding Live Streams Broadcasting Drove 72 Millions Views in One Day

I don't think YouTube is the biggest media in the world, but its information dissemination ability is getting much strong in the Age of Internet and thus cannot be ignored.

Only in one day on April 29, YouTube has driven 72 million views in the live broadcasting streaming of Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding, now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding, as YouTube official blog reported yesterday. The live show was broadcasted totally in 188 countries. If you have missed the live broadcast, you still have the chance to experience the fairytale wedding on YouTube The Royal Channel. You are able to download the complete coverage of the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton video from YouTube with this YouTube video download software. The video is as shown below:


"Together with those catching up with re-broadcasts later in the day, the total number of streams is claimed to have reached over 100 million on the day", as the Google's video-sharing service site said.

In terms of popularity, the Royal wedding is even more popular than the previous world cup and the 8.9 magnitude Japan Earthquake. It's the biggest event in the history of online video, which is very short comparing with traditional media, such as television, which is claimed to have globally drawn two billion people to watch the live streaming of the Wedding of the Century!

Download Chris Brown - She Ain't You Song and Music Video

Chris Brown - She Ain't You single cover
Teen icon Chris Brown has released the music video for his latest single 'She Ain't You' last week. 'She Ain't You' is a reminiscent work of 80's love song. It samples from the late King of Pop Michael Jackson's 1983 smash hit 'Human Nature'. In the accompanying video, the 22-year-old singer and dancer pays tribute to his idol Michael Jackson and makes a series of movements imitating Michael. I would rather say Michael Jackson is the writer of 'She Ain't You'.


You can watch the video stream of 'She Ain't You' below, or if you want to download Chris Brown - 'She Ain't You' song and video to your iPod or other MP3 players, you can check this YouTube downloader tool or YouTube Downloader for Mac.


Lyrics of Chris Brown's 'She Ain't You'


Verse:
You make I hard for me to see somebody else
I'm calling her your name
Yea its messed up, cause I'm thinkin' bout you
It's your fault babe
I never wanted us to break up
No not this way
But you don't understand it girl
When she touches me, I'm wishing that they were your hands
And when I'm with her its only bout the sex
With you I had a bad romance
And if I could, just trade her in I would
Cause nobody can pass ya


Chorus:
I think I better let her go
Cause I can't leave you alone
Every day that I'm with her, all I want is you
I wanna leave but I'm afraid
That you don't even feel the same
And now I realize that she ain't you
Oh (no she ain't you)
Whoa oh oh (Na na na)
Whoa oh oh (Na na na)
She ain't, no she ain't you


Verse:
I been sleeping out
For quite some nights now
It's not the same in my bed
But if she found out, what going on in my head
It?ll be all bad, have me right back
But you don't understand it girl
When she touches me, I'm wishing that they were your hands
And when I'm with her its only bout the sex
With you I had a bad romance
And if I could, just trade her in I would
Cause nobody can pass ya


Chorus:
I think I better let her go
Cause I can't leave you alone
Every day that I'm with her, all I want is you
I wanna leave but I'm afraid
That you don't even feel the same
And now I realize that she ain't you
No she a-ain't she ain't you (x8)


I think I better let her go
Cause I can't leave you alone
Every day that I'm with her, all I want is you
I wanna leave but I'm afraid
That you don't even feel the same
And now I realize that she ain't you
Oh (no she ain't you)
Whoa oh oh (Na na na)
Whoa oh oh(Na na na)
She ain't, no she ain't you


'She Ain't You' serves as the fourth single from Brown's fourth studio album – F.A.M.E., which was released on March 18, 2011. It's an R&B love song and premiered on March 31, 2011. Chris Brown, Ryan Buendia, Kevin McCall, Jason Boyd and Jean Baptiste together wrote the song. As said before, the song samples from Michael's 'Human Nature' and remix of 'Right Here' by SWV. It debuted on urban radio on March 28 in the United States.


Colin Tilley directed the song's music video. The visual work begins with a message saying 'Dedicated to my biggest inspiration of all time... I Love You. R.I.P. Michael Jackson. 08/29/58 - 06/25/09' suggesting that the video is Brown's tribute to Michael Jackson. Chris Brown then emerges dressed in an '80s-styled white suit with a fedora just like Jackson's outfit in his 1988 famous music video 'Smooth Criminal'. Brown has performed several Jackson inspired dance moves throughout the video.


So how do you like Chris Brown's She Ain't You? Is it a simple imitation of Michael Jackson's Human Nature or an earnest homeage to the late King of Pop? You can leave your feeling about the song or the video in the comments.
