As of December 2018, Justin Bieber is the only artist to have six videos exceeding one billion views, while Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Nicky Jam, Shakira and J Balvin have four. Should be:  As of December 2018, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Nicky Jam, Shakira, and J Balvin have four videos exceeding one billion views.

A previous contributor cites these videos as evidence that Justin Bieber has six:  Love Yourself, Baby, Sorry, What Do You Mean, I'm The One, and Where Are Ü Now. I have concerns about the last two.

1) I’m The One is by DJ Khaled ft. Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper, Lil Wayne 2)  Where Are Ü Now is by Skrillex and Diplo with Justin Bieber

Looking at previous archived change requests the threshold has always been to adhere exactly to reference (A) Only the uploaders of the videos are attributed, the featured artists in music videos are not counted. That should remove I’m The One from consideration. The previous decisions to include Where Are Ü Now has always been the use of the word “with” instead of “feature.” Here are a couple of facts to consider:

A) Google “definition of with” and the second definition listed is “possessing as a feature or accompaniment.” B) The database that YouTube uses to tweet their followers video milestones considers the video a feature

The easiest solution would be to change reference (A) to just read: Only the uploaders of the videos are attributed. This would resolve the issue of semantics.
