Mfarhanonline Social Media News: Global smash hit “Somebody That I Used to Know” is closing in on 200 million YouTube views this week, making it one of the most-viewed clips ever on the 7-year-old platform . With 198 million views, the video from Belgian-Australian singer Gotye featuring Kimbra ranks No. 29 , behind the likes of Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, other artists and a few non-music videos (such as “ Charlie bit my finger “). “Somebody That I Used to Know” — about memories of past relationships and breakups — premiered in July 2011 and swiftly became a chart-topper in Australia before soaring to No. 1 in more than a dozen countries. Only last month did the song claim the coveted crown on Billboards Hot 100 charts in the U.S. The achievement came after American Idol , Glee and The Voice aired covers of the song (watch them below) in April. That month Gotye and Kimbra also performed the track on Saturday Night Live . The single had already been high on the U.S. chart, but the mainstream appearances budged it to the top. Many Americans credit a band called Walk Off the Earth for putting the song on their radar. In January, Walk Off the Earth uploaded to YouTube a “Somebody That I Used to Know” cover , which now has 103 million views.
