How to use copyright-free music on YouTube
Why is music blocked? Why is my video silent or removed?
The rights to the music videos are managed in most cases by VEVO, which collects the advertising revenues and passes them on to the majors to pay the artists. There are also other labels that legally manage the revenue generated by artists' video clips on YouTube.
In your case you do not have the copyright on any famous song (unless you are a successful singer!) And you could run into the blocking of the songs or the deletion of your video or (in the worst cases) the closing of the your account with attached piracy report.
But how can you then put music on YouTube without infringing copyright?

The video may be blocked in some countries and therefore not be viewable worldwide, as well as the author or the major may have blocked monetization for your account if you use the protected song.
