When Kim Min-seok gave the go-ahead in June 2016 to publish a 90-second clip of a children's song, he had no idea what he was unleashing. It became a global phenomenon, clocking up more than 16 billion views - YouTube's most watched video ever. That song was the incredibly catchy Baby Shark. Not only has it captivated toddlers and terrorised adults around the world, it laid the foundations for its creator Pinkfong to become a media business worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Even though we are still being preempted in 60 American cities, on Tuesday we had our second-highest-rated show in almost 23 years on the air. Our monologue from Tuesday night has over 21 million views just on YouTube alone. And I wanna say, we couldn't have done it without you, Mr. President. Thank you very much.

Slipknot have scored their first entry into Spotify's 1 billion streams club, as the masked metal band's 2004 hit "Duality" has reached the notable milestone. As Lambgoat reports, the next two Slipknot songs in line to hit the 1 billion mark are "Psychosocial" (765 million streams) and "Before I Forget" (667 million streams). "Duality" appeared on 2004's Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), which landed at No. 2 on Heavy Consequence's ranking of Slipknot's studio albums.
