Why is Baby Shark so popular?
There's no real explanation for why Baby Shark is as big as it is today. The song itself is thought to have been around for decades before Pinkfong created the version we all know and love, or should that be loathe for the parents that have heard it on repeat hundreds of times?
The bright colourful characters combined with the easy to learn dance moves soon made the YouTube video an online sensation. In fact, it's so popular that it became the first YouTube video to reach 10 billion views earlier this year! With the number of children around the globe streaming it, it even managed to get in the top 10 on music charts for multiple countries.
It has also been turned into a TV show by Nickelodeon called Baby Shark's Big Show! for those little ones who just can't get enough of Baby Shark. Plus, there is plenty of merchandise available, including clothes, books, and of course, plenty of toys too.
