YouTube Statistics

YouTube turned 6 this year

 

One year older and 1 billion more users per day wiser, according to the latest YouTube statistics released.

Last year, YouTube statistics showed 24 hours of video uploaded per minute, and 2 billion views per day.  What a difference a year makes!  As YouTube prepares to turn 6 this month, it is also happy to report that 48 hours of video are now uploaded per minute, and the latest YouTube statistics show that it has surpassed 3 billion views per day.

Latest YouTube Statistics

Here are some of the latest YouTube Statistics released this month by the social media giant:

  • 13 million: Number of hours of video that were uploaded in 2010.
  • 60 days > 60 years: More video is uploaded in two months than the three major U.S. networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) combined created in six decades.
  • 30 percent: Amount of overall traffic coming from the U.S. YouTube is localized in 25 countries and 43 languages.
  • 700 billion: Number of playbacks in 2010.
  • 10,000: Number of partners, hundreds of which make six figures a year.
  • More than 7,000: Number of hours of full-length movies and shows.
  • 2 billion: Number of global video views per week being monetized.
  • 10 percent: Amount of videos available in HD.
  • 100 years: Amount of video scanned daily by Content ID, which is used by more than 1,000 partners, including every major U.S. network broadcaster, movie studio, and record label.

One final bit of trivia for you:  What is the most ‘liked’ video of all time on YouTube?  Here’s a hint, it’s also the most disliked video as well.  Surprisingly enough, it has nothing to do with someone being hit in the crotch.  No, it’s Justin Beiber’s song ‘Baby’.

YouTube’s next goal is to hit 72 hours of video per minute and 4 billion views.  Given the updates, like the Live Streaming capability, the fact that you can rent movies, and the big jump that the latest YouTube statics revealed, I’d say it’ll take them about a year to reach their next goal.

Ah, to achieve your dreams by age 7!
