__NOTOC__ <!-- DO NOT EDIT THIS LINE -->[[File:Wiz Khalifa High Road.jpg|thumb|[[Wiz Khalifa]] performing in [[Toronto]] in July 2016. "[[See You Again (Wiz Khalifa song)|See You Again]]" has been the most liked video on YouTube since August 2016, with over 11.7 million likes as of October 2016.]]

This '''list of most liked [[YouTube]] videos''' contains the top 40 videos with the most likes of all time, as derived from YouTube charts.<ref name="list"/> The like count is taken directly from the page of the video itself. YouTube implemented a [[Like button|like and dislike button]] on these pages in March 2010, part of a major redesign of the site. This served as a replacement for their [[Star (classification)|five-star]] rating system;<ref>{{cite web|last=Lowensohn|first=Josh|date=March 31, 2010|url=http://www.cnet.com/news/youtubes-big-redesign-goes-live-to-everyone/|title=YouTube's big redesign goes live to everyone|work=[[CNET]]|publisher=[[CBS Interactive]]|accessdate=May 9, 2016}}</ref> YouTube's designers found the previous system ineffective because the options to rate a video between two and four stars were rarely selected.<ref>{{cite web|last=Siegler|first=M. G.|url=http://techcrunch.com/2009/09/22/youtube-comes-to-a-5-star-realization-its-ratings-are-useless/|title=YouTube Comes To a 5-Star Realization: Its Ratings Are Useless|work=[[TechCrunch]]|publisher=[[AOL|AOL Inc.]]|date=September 22, 2009|accessdate=May 9, 2016}}</ref> Of the 40 videos in this list, 28 also appear in the [[list of most viewed YouTube videos]] and 15 appear in the [[list of most disliked YouTube videos]]. All videos in this list are [[music video]]s.

The music video for [[LMFAO]]'s song "[[Party Rock Anthem#Music video|Party Rock Anthem]]" stood as the most liked video on YouTube in 2012, with 1.56 million likes, until the video for [[Psy]]'s "[[Gangnam Style#Music video|Gangnam Style]]" surpassed it in September that year, yielding more than 1.57 million likes.<ref name="Gangnam"/> Following this accomplishment, "Gangnam Style" entered the ''[[Guinness World Records]]'' book as the most liked video on YouTube and on the Internet as of 2012.<ref>{{cite web|last=Barrett|first=Dan|date=September 20, 2012|accessdate=May 9, 2016|url=http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2012/9/gangnam-style-now-most-liked-video-in-youtube-history-44977/|title='Gangnam Style' holds Guinness World record for 'most liked' video in YouTube history|publisher=[[Guinness World Records]]}}</ref> Psy's video remained the most liked on YouTube for nearly four years until August 27, 2016, when [[Wiz Khalifa]]'s "[[See You Again (Wiz Khalifa song)#Music video|See You Again]]" featuring [[Charlie Puth]] surpassed it with 11.21 million likes.

As of October 2016, [[Justin Bieber]] is the only person to have four videos in the top 40, while [[Taylor Swift]] has three videos in the top 40. [[Katy Perry]], [[Eminem]], [[Psy]] and [[Fifth Harmony]] each have two of their videos in the top 40.<ref name="list"/>

Revision as of 21:18, 13 October 2016

Wiz Khalifa performing in Toronto in July 2016. "See You Again" has been the most liked video on YouTube since August 2016, with over 11.7 million likes as of October 2016.

This list of most liked YouTube videos contains the top 40 videos with the most likes of all time, as derived from YouTube charts.[1] The like count is taken directly from the page of the video itself. YouTube implemented a like and dislike button on these pages in March 2010, part of a major redesign of the site. This served as a replacement for their five-star rating system;[2] YouTube's designers found the previous system ineffective because the options to rate a video between two and four stars were rarely selected.[3] Of the 40 videos in this list, 28 also appear in the list of most viewed YouTube videos and 15 appear in the list of most disliked YouTube videos. All videos in this list are music videos.

The music video for LMFAO's song "Party Rock Anthem" stood as the most liked video on YouTube in 2012, with 1.56 million likes, until the video for Psy's "Gangnam Style" surpassed it in September that year, yielding more than 1.57 million likes.[4] Following this accomplishment, "Gangnam Style" entered the Guinness World Records book as the most liked video on YouTube and on the Internet as of 2012.[5] Psy's video remained the most liked on YouTube for nearly four years until August 27, 2016, when Wiz Khalifa's "See You Again" featuring Charlie Puth surpassed it with 11.21 million likes.

As of October 2016, Justin Bieber is the only person to have four videos in the top 40, while Taylor Swift has three videos in the top 40. Katy Perry, Eminem, Psy and Fifth Harmony each have two of their videos in the top 40.[1]
