Metallica has reached another impressive YouTube milestone – 1 billion views for the music video to “Nothing Else Matters”.

It’s the band’s first entry into the One Billion Club, joining other metal videos like Linkin Park’s “In The End” and System of a Down’s “Chop Suey”.

However, Metallica still has a long way to go to overtake the current champion for most-viewed YouTube music video – “Baby Shark”, with more than 9 billion views.

Are you surprised “Nothing Else Matters” is the first Metallica song to reach 1 billion, rather than “Enter Sandman” or “One”?
