In an era defined by flannel shirts, cassette tapes, and dial-up internet, one music video from the 1990s has quietly claimed a massive milestone: it's the most-watched music video from that decade on YouTube.

Despite the rise of hip-hop, bubblegum pop, and grunge during the '90s, it’s a power ballad by a hard rock band that continues to dominate decades later. The video, released in 1992, features sweeping orchestration, dramatic visuals, and an iconic wedding scene that left an indelible mark on MTV and pop culture alike.

With over 2 billion views on YouTube and counting, the track shows no signs of fading. Its popularity is fueled by nostalgia, epic production, and a guitar solo that's considered one of the greatest of all time.

What makes this video’s success even more remarkable is that it predates the digital age. It wasn’t launched on YouTube until years later, gaining popularity all over again with newer generations discovering it online. Even in a world of fast-moving trends, this '90s classic proves that some music, and visuals, truly stand the test of time.

So, what is the most-watched music video of the '90s?

According to Headliner Hub, it's Guns N' Roses' "November Rain"!
