Taken together, all views of seasons of CoComelon made it one of the most-watched in the top 100. The eighth season alone was watched 37.6 million times and most seasons featured in the top 50.

Starting life on YouTube, the show features children, adults and animals who sing songs and nursery rhymes and go about their daily lives. It has been a huge success for Candle Media-owned Moonbug, which has expanded rapidly since its launch, birthing the likes of Blippi and Little Baby Bum.

Speaking to Deadline earlier this year, Moonbug EMEA boss Nicolas Eglau said the company’s push into the older children’s space was being inspired by the huge success of slightly older-skewing versions of CoComelon that had being performing well on Netflix.  “This content has the ability to deliver values in a playful and fun way, so we take it very seriously,” he said at the time.

No other kids shows came close to CoComelon. The eighth season of Gabby’s Dollhouse the next highest with 90 million views across several seasons and Peppa Pig third with around 80 million.
