How Revenge Reached #1 on Genius Lyrics - The History of Minecraft's Most Popular Parody Song HD

Minecraft is a video game beloved by over a hundred million people. Whether you love it or hate it, you can’t deny how strong of a presence it has on the internet. If you’ve ever gone onto YouTube to look for videos of Minecraft, chances are you’ve at least heard of the most popular parody song of the game: Revenge by CaptainSparklez. This iconic, almost-eight-year-old song boasts over 181 million views. If you ask any Minecraft player to name all the Minecraft parody songs they’ve ever heard of, this song would be in a significant number of those lists. Another video on YouTube, you’d expect it to follow the typical course of a video. Most videos get barely any viewership throughout their entire history. If you’ve accumulated a fanbase, then perhaps your videos might get a good number of views in the first several days, only to die down for the rest of their histories. Maybe if you’re lucky--just lucky--one of your videos will suddenly get a surge of viewership thanks to the YouTube algorithm. But not this music video. As a matter of fact, just recently, Revenge hit the #1 spot on Genius. To some people, they might be surprised. Why in the world would some old video game parody song be higher on the list than Old Town Road and Bohemian Rhapsody? To that, I say good question. Today, we’ll be answering it by taking a look at just how Revenge got popular and why it stays iconic today. It’s easy to believe that Revenge is just another Minecraft parody in a pool of tens of thousands. If that’s what you think, then I hope I can convince you otherwise.
