Aerosmith’s
Crazy featuring the then teenage Alicia Silverstone has 158 million views while
Guns n Roses’ Sweet Child of Mine (full version) of about the same time has a
mere 18 million views. The young be it male or female is more inclined to see
barely clad beautiful girls than skill and real balladic execution of romantic
love.
Shine
on you crazy diamond has hardly 3 million viewers in youtube while nothing else
matters has has 23. What does the young generation like to watch?

Macklemore &Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz 870 million as on 29.8.2012; and
Rolling in the Deep- Adele 865 million as on 30.11.2010.
I
could arrive at a decision completely reversed from the record put forth by
Wikipedia. May be I have a queer favour for anything british or may be not; I
like even ‘Rolling in the Deep’ by Adele 3 times more than I like the record
holder Gangnam Style by the Korean.
