YouTube is investigating a sudden surge in traffic that boosted a clip of a Brazilian pop band to the top of its most viewed video chart.
The clip called Music is My Hot Hot Sex is by the Brazilian electro band Cansei De Ser Sexy and it has been viewed by nearly 90 million people.
However, in just three weeks, it got 40 million views pushing it from tenth place to YouTube's top position and the surge has left YouTube fans wondering if the 'books have been cooked'.
Update:
The video's Italian creator, who uses the pseudonym Clarus Bartel, had described the video as "ugly" and "made on a whim"
In an unexpected twist, the Italian factory worker, blogger, and amateur photographer who uploaded the video last year, has deleted the clip which was listed as having been viewed a world record 114.3 million times. Evolution Of Dance ranked second with 78.6 million views.

Tough one to figure out since there is evidence on both sides, since the title of Hot Hot Sex is going to get views and getting on the most viewed list will garner even more views. On the other hand 93 million is disproportionate and the odds are likely for automated help for at least part of that total. I'm not sure how much it matters because their are lots of flaws in YouTube's accounting of views, ratings, comments and responses list that a fair amount of people take advantage of so it's better to take them as approximations

I don't know, never underestimate the attraction of a title called "hot hot sex." I don't think the view count includes people who have watched the entire video from start to finish.

just in case ye all don't know, CSS is an internetwork phenomena. they hooked up over a 'myspace' sort of site after a bulletin/forum post for musicians seeking to form an electro-rock pop band.
the song 'let's make love and listen to death from above' automatically got the attention of the electro-rock underground who's been following Death From Above 1979 for a while. they knew that by using the song title the way they did that they'd get the exposure they sought after. so, i wouldn't put it pass them that the 'hot hot sex' tag was also a ploy to take over youtube/google hits (and get further news exposure).-
