"On YouTube, the clip is close to surpassing 1 billion views. It’s not
uncommon for new songs to pass that threshold, but to date, only three
songs from the entire 20th century have reached that mark: “November
Rain” by Guns N’ Roses, “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana and Queen’s
“Bohemian Rhapsody.” And “Take on Me” still averages 480,000 views per
day on YouTube, according to a website spokesperson."
