The 30-minute video earned nearly 40 million views in its first seven days.
A stream of Michael Buble baking oatmeal cookies with wife Luisana Lopilato crowns Billboard’s Top Facebook Live Videos chart for April 2020.
The chart, the latest of which recaps April 2020 activity, is a monthly look at the widest-reaching and most-reacted-to videos posted by musicians on Facebook Live, as tracked by media analytics company Shareablee. Rankings are determined by a formula that blends reactions, comments, shares and first-seven-days views.
Buble’s April 6 upload documents his process of baking cookies with Lopilato. The 30-minute video reigns thanks to a whopping 38.6 million views in its first seven days; the next closest video on April’s chart managed 4.1 million.
In addition to leading all musician-uploaded livestreams on Facebook in first-seven-days views, Buble’s video also paced the field in reactions – 480,000 in all.
The comments metric is led by Larry Hernandez, whose April 27 “Larrymania live” upload – referencing his Telemundo reality series of the same name – racked up 498,000 comments and places at No. 3 on the monthly list. And as for the most shares, Metallica’s April 13 video – which featured a stream of the band’s 2017 Outside Lands performance – landed 42,000 shares, helping the clip to a No. 4 debut.
