In honor of Halloween, YouTube Music has culled the 31 most popular music videos that earned more daily views last Oct. 31 in the U.S. than on any other day of the year in 2018.
The list is unsurprisingly topped by standards like Ray Parker Jr.’s “Ghostbusters” (the theme song for the cult 1984 film), Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” and Bobby Pickett’s “Monster Mash” — though it also includes more contemporary hits by artists like Fifth Harmony (whose “I’m In Love With a Monster” placed fifth) and Rihanna’s “Disturbia,” which landed at No. 7. Jackson technically has two songs in the top five, given that he provided guest vocals on Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me,” which came in at No. 4.
Not a whole lot has changed since last Halloween — when “Thriller” took the top spot and “Ghostbusters” was at No. 2. “Monster Mash” has remained steady at No. 3, with Andrew Gold‘s “Spooky Scary Skeletons” (which is not on this year’s list) and Cartoons‘ “Witch Doctor” (No. 12 this year) rounding out the top five.
