#YouTube #YouTubeMusic #Google During the Alphabet 2019 Q4 earnings call, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai  provided  an update on how many paid YouTube Music and Premium subscribers there are. There were also official figures for cord-cutting service YouTube TV. Last May, Bloomberg  reported  15 million subscribers one year after launch for YouTube Music. Both YouTube Music Premium and YouTube Premium now combine to have 20 million subscribers. YouTube Music Premium costs $9.99 for ad-free playback, background streaming, and offline downloads. For $2 more, YouTube Premium extends those benefits to all video content across the service.

Meanwhile,  last March , YouTube TV was said to have 1 million subscribers. Nearly a year later, this has doubled to 2 mill...

Nothing could have prepared 13-year-old Rebecca Black for the pandemonium that erupted when her infamous single “Friday” went viral back in 2011. YouTube and social media were still in their infancy, and back then, the concept of “going viral” wasn’t even a thing, really. “I thought, ‘This is just something that 30 people are going to see,’” she tells Yahoo Entertainment/SiriusXM Volume with a wry chuckle. “And sure enough, I was very wrong.” As of 2019, the unironically and tirelessly cheerful, unnervingly earwormy “Friday” has racked up more than 137 million YouTube views. It has also racked up 3.5 million thumbs-down (compared to its 1 million thumbs-up) — which reflects its reception eight years ago, when many critics declared “Friday” the worst song and video of all time and the tween even received death threats online. Black put on a brave face at the time and laughed off the haters, even capitalizing on her newfound fame with the follow-up single “My Moment” and multip...

#YouTube #MusicVideo #MajorLazer #TaylorSwift #JustinBieber #LuisFonsi  You might think viral clips rule YouTube -- the " Keyboard Cats " and " Charlie bit my fingers " of the world. Sure, they spread across the web like wildfire, dominating your feeds and hijacking your attention. But earworm-y pop songs? Those hits you end up wanting to wipe from your memory forever? Their visuals are the real Scrooge McDucks of the site, gleefully swimming in  millions  upon  millions  upon  millions   of Vevo views. In fact, Psy's "Gangnam Style,"  long-reigning king  until  recently , became so pervasive in 2014 it forced YouTube to  rewrite the code for its play counter . Now the site boasts an expanded metric for chronic popularity and an ever-changing batch of insanely popular music vids. Read on as we (re-)watch the current top 10*. *View counts are estimates from August 2017. Totals and ranks will change, and we will...

Pausing memberships isn't something that many subscription services offer, but YouTube TV is now joining that limited club. In the (probably pretty rare) instance that you'd like to pause your YouTube TV subscription, but not completely cancel it, that's now an option according to YouTube TV's support documents. YouTube TV will allow your subscription to be paused for anywhere from four weeks to six months. It looks like the main reason you'd do so instead of canceling it is to have your recordings continue to be saved while you go on your hiatus, though the nine-month expiration date for recordings still applies. In the event that you want to resume your membership prior to the return date you'd set, the date that you do that becomes the new monthly billing date. If you'd like to utilize this subscription pausing feature, just go to YouTube TV's membership settings (or hit  this link ), click 'Deactivate membership,' then 'Pause memb...
