Cocomelon started in September 2006 as a YouTube account called 'checkgate', run as a hobby by a couple in Orange County who uploaded two versions of the ABC song for their own kids. Twelve years, one rebrand and one 3D toddler named JJ later it was the most-watched children's channel on Earth, overtaking PewDiePie and selling — via Moonbug — to Candle Media in a $3 billion deal.
