Supplemental context
Guinness World Records identifies Pinkfong’s Baby Shark Dance as the first YouTube video to reach ten billion views. Its prose dates that milestone to January 2022 and describes the 2016 upload. This is a record about a particular video, not a count of distinct viewers or a measure of every child’s preferences.
Creator/community: Pinkfong and collaborators; children and family audiences Place/era: South Korea; 2016 video and international circulation
Context and limits
The opened Guinness page has an inconsistent date field: 2021 in the field, 2022 in its prose. This discrepancy is retained in research notes. View totals change, and the branded video should not be equated with every earlier shark singalong.
