Teen singer Justin Bieber has overtaken Lady Gaga to have the most viewed music video on YouTube as his track ‘Baby’ has now been watched 250m times on the video upload site.

The song has been watched more than 250 million times, pushing Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance into second place with 247.4 million.

Bieber who has 3.8 million fans on Twitter said “it doesn’t matter who has more views, what matters is that we have incredible fans that support us”.

Justin Bieber has a lot to thank YouTube for as he was signed two years ago after posting his videos on the site.

He’s on tour in the United States to promote his album My World 2.0 and also paid tribute to his rival calling Lady Gaga “an incredible artist who I have great respect for. And her video is incredible”.

He continued to fans on Twitter: “Sometimes the pressure is a lot but I feel so blessed living my dream and I remind myself to be thankful and appreciative.

Bieber wrote the track Baby with R&B singer Christina Milian and rapper Ludacris. Now don’t get me wrong but a 16 year old kid sitting around in a studio with two top selling recording artists ‘writing’ a song…. I would love to know just how much of the song he did actually write.  He probably added the word baby, which to be fair is the lyric that makes up half of the song so maybe I’m being too harsh.

Anyway, gotta go now as I’m off to upload my video of me singing Jedward’s version of Under Pressure on to YouTube and then wait by the phone for when the record companies start calling.
