His focus seems to be the amount of YouTube views and how fast they've been generated, and continue to do so. He seeks to point out how anomalous this occurrence is for what he believes to be a substandard musician.

So in answer to his query:

1) A promotional juggernaut. Lots of people hear it on the radio and then seek it out on YouTube. "People" in this instance would include consumers, promoters, businesses, radio DJs and so on.

2) The real possibility that there really are that many people who identify with and/or like the song and seek out the video on YouTube. Naturalism.

3) The viral effect: More YouTube views = more trending activity, which means higher positions on YouTube's recommendation pages.
