Success Breeds Success - 3 Billion

Its getting close but not there yet. What am I talking about? The official video from the Furious 7 soundtrack.

At time of going to press it was at 2,902,472,946 views (ish);



'Gangnam Style' by PSY, was launched 4 years ago and has just 5 million less views. As I mentioned back in 2014, Gangnam Style Breaks YouTube,  and FYI, it is still a very catchy tune:



Justin Bieber comes third with his single 'Sorry' with only 300 million less, although it should be noted that the video is for a music single, not a movie, nor for a tribute to a dead actor. As I am not a teenage girl I am not qualified to judge Justin's talents, sufficed to say, 'well done young man'. Oh, and he isn't even in the video!



Which is a mere 300 million more than Maroon 5's 'Sugar' ;



So I guess we can conclude that music is the reason most people flock to YouTube. YouTube is wanted more for it's audio than it's video - interesting, very interesting!

Jackie Chan is Back

I do love Jackie Chan.

Humble, yet talented, this demure Hong Kong native is a martial artist, actor, film director, producer, stuntman, and apparently a singer too!

He is back in a new film that, again, changes what we now about him:



Some of his best fight scenes can be seen here - and yes, they're scorchers!!



What is unique about Jackie Chan is that he is funny, sometimes laugh out loud funny, as this Conan O'Brien in 1999:



Tom Hanks presents Jackie Chan with his Honorary Oscar, the Governor's Award;
