That\u2019s easy!\u201d Post Malone\u2019s \u2018Congratulations\u2019 music video sports over one billion views \u2013 a far cry from PewDiePie\u2019s \u2018Congratulations\u2019 single, which garnered just over 86 million views as of April 19. [Timestamp: 5:30 for mobile viewers] Battle of the view counts \u2018Congratulations\u2019 even pales in comparison to the most-viewed video on PewDiePie\u2019s channel, \u2018Bitch Lasagna,\u2019 which boasts over 183 million views and counting.
