I heard this song for a long time. Why did it became a hit just now?

Not feeling it.  Reminds me of something I'd expect to see on a kids show like Blues Clues.  I highly doubt it will receive Top 40 radio airplay.

I'm pretty sure it's only there because of YouTube views. It's not even a new video...

I wonder how long it's been around.  My ex's kid was doing this 10-15 years ago.

No, it's just one of those extremely rare songs that appeals to little kids that makes the top billboard. I'm sure this isn't the only time this has happened.

Nerdygamer's friend from his childhood told me about this in one of my recent hangouts.

Baby Shark was a song we used to sing on the school bus when I was in grade school...in 2001.

Wait you guys don't know this is literally a children's song? It is on the billboard due to the YouTube views (I thought they got rid of that system but I guess not). It's not an actual new video it was a song taken from a children's programming and it is meant for parents and their children for learning purposes. It's not an actual new pop song lol. It's a children's song meant for children taken from a kids programming show.

They have a separate chart now for radio stations.  It doesn't take into account YouTube and other streaming sources like the main Hot 100 does.

I learnt a similar song (Baby Jaws) at a scout campfire in about 1996
