From surveying YouTube and it's view-count calculations, MStars News gives you the Top 10 YouTube Music Videos.

10.) Thrift Shop by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis take the #10 slot in our countdown with a view-count of 500 Million. The song Thrift Shop took over the music charts and flaunted hand-me-downs accessorized with a sweet saxophone beat.  Footie pajamas and fur-lined coats stole the show, but Macklemore's fly dance moves really set the precedent for this video's success.

9.) Danza Kuduro by Don Omar

Don Omar's Danza Kuduro at 529 Million throws beach and boat scenes to accompany the lovely bikini-clad video vixens.  Blinding sunbeams highlight this song's appeal and makes the viewer wish Summer was already here.

8.) Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen

Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen commands attention at 533 Million. Shredded abs accompanied by a garage band performance has set this music video up at the #8 slot on our countdown.  The agony of Carly's awkward lust for the boy-next-door who is great at mowing the lawn and drinking water makes us all root for her to get the guy at the end.  Too bad the boy-next-door is gay.  Maybe next time you'll get the guy, Carly.

7.) Ai Se Eu Te Pego by Michel Teló 

Michel Teló comes in at 555 Million with Ai Se Eu Te Pego (a Brazilian song released in 2012, translation: Oh, If I Catch You).  The video is only available on YouTube.com.  The video is of his biggest national and international hit song.

6.) Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus

Wrecking Ball swoops in at 559 Million and takes the #6 slot on our chart.  Miley's nearly naked, pilaties-toned bod takes down everything in her path in her music video for this hit single.  No one's crying with Miley at this ranking.  She took a jump and YouTube viewers caught her fall.

5.) Bad Romance by Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga's Bad Romance is at a solid 570 Million.  The hit music video came out four years ago and made the singer stand out for her futuristic, artistic, and fashion-forward appeal.  Let us not forget to praise those fantastic dance moves and Where-the-Wild-Things-Are-inspired hats.

4.) Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO

LMFAO is certainly not sorry for "party rocking" at 649 Million.  Following a "28 Days Later" theme, the group tries to blend in with the party-rockers before they catch the dancing bug.

3.) Love the Way You Lie by Eminem and Rihanna

Eminem and Rihanna's Love the Way You Lie lights a fire at a cool 668 Million.  This music video features a destructive couple and sunny, field shots of Eminem's rap solos.  Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan play that destructive, Jerry Springer couple.

2.) On the Floor by Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez makes a stand with over 700 Million for On the Floor.  The singer opens her video in a similar way to her Get Right single, but hey who cares?  Lopez also steals Lady Gaga's enhanced eye editing software featured in Bad Romance.

1.) Baby by Justin Bieber

At almost 1 BILLION views, Justin Bieber is the reigning champion.  Baby is set in a bowling alley and a Selena Gomez look-alike  seems to have stolen the Biebs' heart.  "Like, baby, baby, baby, ohhh."
