https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KSOMA3QBU0 Total number of views = 1,058,713,105 Upload Date = 20/02/2014 Average number of views per day = 1,978,903 Number 4 on our list sees back-to-back entries for Katy Perry with her music video for the song €œDark Horse€. Despite being released 168 days after €œRoar€ it has already received over 37 million more views than the earlier song and the video this time sees Katy (who has since escaped the jungle) play the role of an Ancient Egyptian princess. The song reached #1 in the Billboard Hot 100, but didn€™t fare as well in the UK where it peaked at #4. Fun Fact €“ At around 1:15 in the video Perry kills a man by turning him into sand. The original edit of this scene sparked controversy among the Muslim community due to the man in question wearing a pendant that formed the word €œAllah€ (The Arabic word for God), which also got destroyed by Perry. The pendant was digitally removed from the scene following a petition against the scene, which received more than 65,000 signatures.
