What's your highest viewed video and why?

Before I restarted my channel I had one video with 20x more views than the others because it was the only video that got a "suggested" spot.
 
Our top video has 440,000 views ( 4 year old builds first home Little Tikes Playhouse )... It took ages to get to 100,000, but when it did it flew up to 400,000. It's kind of slowed down now, I guess bigger and more popular channels have done the same thing since and their videos come up more in suggestions these days.

Reason for success, the title and idea perhaps. we don't know really. But the most successful videos are usually that popular because of how YouTube promotes it, or ranks it, how much exposure it gets.
 
My "The Mighty B" review, where it failed to be a woman empowering episode.

I guess...because of my title. Also, its the only video on my channel without a thumbnail, so...yeah.
 
My most viewed video is "British Phrases & Slang!" - and, as deeply flattered as I am that it's been as popular as it is, I'm still a little uncertain as to how it achieved such an accolade so quickly.

I've been told it's funny - which is fabulous, as I'm half-comedy* so it's really quite essential if you want to market yourself as such - and people seemed to like the delivery.

I doubt it's the quality as it was filmed on an iPhone and edited in Movie Maker. And the thumbnail isn't the greatest work of art known to man - buuuuut, I'm an MLG n00b at Photoshop, so I'm okay with what it turned out to be.

*My ethnicity is not half-comedy. If it were an ethnicity, I would obviously be full comedy.

My most popular video is of me playing the tune, "Swallowtail Jig."

I honestly have no idea why it became so popular. I had pulled an all-nighter the night before and was incredibly exhausted when I filmed it and created the backing track. To me, the entire thing ended up being a cheesy result of an extremely tired human. I had to overly color-correct the final clip, and I kept the video very short -- the shortest of all my videos (1.5 minutes).

Yet, for some reason, it has almost 40k views with 0 promotion from me! I'm literally baffled. The only thing I can think of is that the tune is a common "traditional fiddle tune" to learn. Most people who want to learn Irish tunes will learn Swallowtail Jig at some point. I'm curious if something similar would happen if I played "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," -- also a very common song that many learning an instrument will probably learn to play at some point. ^_^
 
Right now it is still my 2005 Mustang Review. I suppose it resonates with people because a mustang is a pretty popular car for many generations.

But, the video that is gaining on it is one of my Cars and Coffee videos. It is tied to a more popular car video it seems, and people click trough and watch that one.
 
HOW TO SOLVE RUBIX CUBE PART 2 is 200+ views, I think that my presentation and way of teaching is too cool and informative. So it is the most viewed video so far, hopefully I will get more views :)
 
Our gameplay of the arcade game Mario Kart Arcade GP DX was the highest in our channel at 300+ views and still counting. :)
 
For me It's a lyric video because I made it as soon as the song got released and the artist is well known.
It has just over 20K views now, it's amazing! :D
