What difference does a couple years make?

Seriously, a couple years is no time at all…

It's not like anyone ever actually debuts…

This was interesting.

^It doesn't seem like she's counting the Dance Shots, which is fine for most of the MVs but One Two Three and Help Me's Dance Shot were viewed WAY WAY WAY more than their official counterparts, and they were posted first so I feel like those versions are the go to to watch when it comes to watching the song on youtube.

One Two Three's Dance Shot has 8,800,000+ views putting it at number one by over a million views and is more than double the amount of views on the MV. Help Me's Dance Shot has almost 7,000,000 views putting it at 3rd and is also has more than twice the amount of views of its MV.

So much time was taken to do this do, so kudos to them

Sayu's got the only solo performance in the bunch? That can't be right. The uploader's missing a bunch of Ayaya and Gocchin's videos that aren't on official channels. But as forgetmenots said, still kudos, it was a lot of fun to watch and surprising in some places. A few of those videos I've never even watched once all the way through and I had totally forgotten the songs even existed.

Just looking at the counts for "LOVE Machine" alone makes it clear that the uploader has only counted views on the official channels, so that's certainly going to skew the results. If someone were to include the view counts from unofficial channels, I think the results would be quite different, and OG videos would have considerably higher scores in general, if only because some of them have had a long history on YouTube even before the official channels existed. That being the case, the results would differ even more, if someone could include all the views on DEFUNCT unofficial channels, as well.

True but I think it's fair of them to not be expected to do an aggregate count, in other words, if a particular video has 1m views in one upload by one user, 2m in another upload from a totally different user, and 3m in a yet third user's upload, then I think it's acceptable that they only count the upload with the largest total (3m) and not try to add up all the various uploads hidden in every corner of youtube. Actually I think it's okay they're only counting official uploads too, but it's just something that people ought to be aware of before we overestimate the popularity of new stuff compared with older stuff. All those old dohhhup! view counts, lost forever!

Actually knowing that all the old videos were uploaded only 5 years ago makes it more amazing when they're high up on the list, it's also more interesting to see which videos are still relavent to look up years after they came out.
