I've found a way to get the data. It's kind of a kluge, so I hope someone can post a better answer.
What I've done is to take MyTop100Videos' playlist of 537 Most Viewed Videos of All Time, used DevTools to get the playlist's page code, and extracted the IDs of all the videos from that. Then I fed those IDs to YouTube's Data API. I had to do that 50 IDs at a time because giving it more than that yields an error.
(Edit: I found that a better way to get the video IDs, which I used on the next three "Most-Viewed" playlists, is to use the API's playlistItems. Since this gives me data on all the videos in the playlist, I was hoping that I could use that to get all the data and not have to feed the IDs back to the API. But a playlistItems request doesn't allow most of the parts that videos does, so I still had to do it in two steps. For the 2,051 videos of all four playlists, I automated the process in Excell VBA, giving me a nice spreadsheet of all the data.)
For an example of the URLs used to get the data, working with just the first three videos in the list, the URL would be:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=XqZsoesa55w,kJQP7kiw5Fk,F4tHL8reNCs&part=snippet,statistics&key=<key>
The output of that is:

You can see that there's a lot of cool data there. I ran ten URLs like that with 50 IDs in each, and one more with 34 to get the data on all the videos in the playlist.
I have no way to know how accurate MyTop100Videos' list is, but it looks pretty good. The viewcounts reported for his list range from 11.5 billion down to 517 million.
We get some interesting information from these data. For example, focusing on the "billion-view club" of videos with over a billion views:
- It has 322 members as of the list's last update on July 20, 2022.
- As of today, their time online ranges from 2.8 to 15.6 years, with an average of 7.9.
- 169 of them are Vevo videos.
- They are from 184 channels. The channel with the most videos in the club is Cocomelon with eleven.
- They are in eight categories: 264 in music, 30 in education (mostly for little kids, like Baby Shark and those from Cocomelon), 14 in entertainment, 8 in film & animation, 2 each in comedy and people & blogs, and one each in gaming and autos & vehicles.
- Most are in English. I haven't figured out how the codes
defaultLanguage and defaultAudioLanguage work, but it looks like 19 are in Spanish, ten are in Hindi, five in Russian, three in Portugusese, and 60 have no language designation.
So, some pretty interesting information.
Please post another answer if you know a better way of getting these data than by running the Data API on MyTop100Videos' list. Obviously, MyTop100Videos has a way of getting his data, so there has to be a better way of doing this.
