What is it?
I'll call Midnight Request Line-Skream, Haunted-DMZ or Night-Benga and Coki

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSeNSzJ2-Jw

32 million views.

Yeah definitely Skrillex or some shit now it's taken off fully in America.

Pre-2009 I'd say Coki / Benga - Night, although I'll never understand why, or how it was well received by the mainstream either.

Don't think many people outside of Dubstep will know Midnight Request Line or Haunted though.

Also Skream's remix of La Roux In For The Kill. Mt Eden - Sierra Leone would always used to be the first thing people would mention when Dubstep came up....

but yeah, now anything by Skrillex, Flux Pavillion or any of that utter wank that morons adopt as an anthem after it gets played on adverts.

y u no like brostep?

Haunted is by Digital Mystikz not DMZ...still

I would love it to be some of the deeper stuff, and Midnight Request Line is definitely the song that took things to the next level, but, unless you count skrillex as some sort of dirty electro, his tunes are definitely the most famous, probs frightening monsters and kind soft drinks.

Youtube is a parralel universe which doesnt reflect dancefloor popularity or actual sales statistics.

Also, remember you would have to add up every view every upload of a tune has received, and years later, I have a feeling if you did that, including all the copies that have ever been deleted, night or midnight request would be 1000x more popular, even on youtube.

id have to say sierra leon by mt eden

Seeing how the most popular video only has 500k views, and the rest have an average of 2k views, and lets say the first 5 pages actually have the song, that would be around 750k views on all of Youtube. Unless there was a deleted video with over 30 million views I don't think it comes even close to Skrillex's song.

This is obviouslly only relating to Youtube, I'm not genna go check all the different websites for views

^ For Midnight Request

really, dude? maybe it's different where you live, but i heard scary monsters at almost every party i went to last year, whether or not the dude dj'ing was actually playing a dubstep set. that ep made the top of the sales charts for dance music on itunes (not just beatport). sure, youtube numbers are inflated, but to say that midnight request line is 1000 times more popular than scary monsters is a little absurd. that song is still in the top 100 on itunes right now for all song downloads, right beneath beyonce.

You're absolutely correct, but unless you have some sort of statistic showing otherwise, then it doesn't really mean anything. You don't think skrillex is also played at clubs/parties?

Find me ANY dubstep that even comes CLOSE to 32 million, and maybe I'll believe you. It's not the only metric that is available for gauging popularity, but I don't think anybody would deny that it's a good one.

Scary monsters and nice sprites, easy. 8-9 months after it was released, it made it to the top 3 on spotify in Norway. No other dubstep song has done the same. +it did really well on itunes, youtube, beatport etc

Sorry to upset all you narrow minded people who won't listen to anything other than sub & drums cos your so cool but yeah Scary monsters is the most 'famous' its got more views which kind of does represent how many sales a song gets..

It could be a location thing. Most people here are from the UK where Skrillex isn't as big, so they don't hear about him as much. Over here in the US just about everyone listens to Skrillex. I hear tons kids in school talking about him every day. And the USA represents a much larger demographic than the UK.
