so, by now it has 98 548 876 views 1 451 124 views are needed days left until the end of 2015 - ~9 guessed average acceptable number of views by 1 fan a day - let it be 5 times/day then the needed number of fans to achieve the goal is: (1 451 124 views)/(9 days * 5 views/user*day) == 32 247 users So to achieve the goal you need 32 247 users watching the video 5 times a day during 9 days, or 16 124 users doing the same only twice as much views a day (thus - 10 times/day) Is this realistic?

Yeah I think so. You forgot about general public, Complicated is still popular amongst people. so you posted it 5 hours ago and now it has 98 576 006 views 98 576 006 - 98 548 876 = 27 130 new views in 5 hours 27130/5 = 5426 views in an hour 1 451 124/5426 = 267,43899742 hours needed to get 1 000 000 views =11, 143 days needed to get 1 000 000 views So, even without trying, it will probably get vevo certified around the 2nd of January.

Please do not use any auto refresh plugins etc. for too long since youtube can track the suspicious views and delete them. Call me a killjoy or whatever, but I'm glad they wised up to this stuff. Cheat views just don't count imo. Anyway, I'll do my bit and watch it a few times.

I love GreenEyedSoul posts of number of views, so, here are mine: The views in this moment are: [Struggling with the format. Ugh. One hour to post a simple list because of the bad crazyness of my smartphone plus the random errors that bloom all the time in the format. I'm going to post this without format ] Complicated: 98,581,625 Let Me Go: 97,894,565 Hot: 96,175,184 My Happy Ending'10: 65,796,916 My Happy Ending'11: 7,015,178 Sk8er Boi: 64,381,121 I'm With You: 64,209,218 Rock N Roll: 59,611,656 Nobody's Home: 37,446,426 The Best Damn Thing: 31,688,324 Girlfriend Lil Mama: 29,333,761 Don't Tell Me: 27,259,644 Don't Tell Me Clean: 1,953,189 Give You What You Like: 24,117,226 Alice: 18,506,112 Losing Grip: 16,141,171 He Wasn't: 6,958,275 How You Remind Me: 3,345,724 Fly (Special Olympics): 3,025,525 Some videos are near 100M, some videos are way too far. Hope you enjoy.

Yeah tbh I think it's so pathetic when fans, of any artist, attempt to raise views this way. It doesn't mean anything if you're not even really watching the video. Imagine how the artist feels when they see their video has 100 million views and then find out it was really like 100,000 people putting it on some auto system while not even in the room. 100 million views used to mean something, it doesn't anymore because everyone just cheats to get it.

The Sidney Morning Herald www.smh.com.au/news/web/avrils-fans-go-for-youtube-top-spot/2008/06/26/1214073406187.htmlAsher Moses June 26, 2008 - 1:33PM Avril Lavigne fans have issued a call to arms, attempting to manipulate YouTube so a music video of the pop musician's hit track Girlfriend becomes the most-viewed video of all time. The campaign - successful so far but not immune from action by YouTube admins - appears to have been sparked by the fan community Avril Bandaids. It aims to topple Evolution of Dance, which, with over 89,900,000 views, has long reigned as the king of YouTube. But the Lavigne fanboys have a secret weapon - a specially designed web page that, if left open, automatically refreshes the YouTube video every 15 seconds, adding an extra view. The plot appears to be working - the Girlfriend music video is now labelled the second most viewed video of all time, fast approaching Evolution of Dance with a view count of almost 89,200,000. Once obtaining the most-viewed crown, the Avril fanatics plan to make Girlfriend the first ever YouTube video to garner more than 100,000,000 views. "Keep this page open while you browse the internet, study for exams, or even sleep. For extra viewing power, open up two or more browser windows at this page!," an Avril Bandaids forum administrator wrote in a recent posting. But YouTube may stop the campaign dead in its tracks, a company spokesman said. "YouTube deploys various safeguards to ensure that video view counts accurately reflect viewership and our Terms of Use prohibit accessing YouTube in automated ways that are faster than a normal human," he said. YouTube users don't appear to be taking too kindly to the plot, as one commenter said: "Isn't it embarrassing that they had to cheat to get her videos some views?? it's just so sad."

Does Avril's GF video hold the Guinness record for the first Youtube video to reach 100M views?

I just open the video and play it a few times, but I won't actually watch it. Complicated is one of my all-time favourite music videos, but I've already seen it so many times; I don't want to watch it too often, otherwise I might get sick of it. But I don't feel bad at all doing it like that, because, like I said, I've already seen it loads of times, and I do not use any auto-refresh button, but refresh it manually.

Complicated(98M) - Nobody's Home(37M). Eight vevo certified in one year could be great.
