The category of trending videos might be a bit hard to calculate. It’s not based on just views, but also likes, searches and comments. The top trending video of 2019 was beauty blogger James Charles‘ “No More Lies”. First We Feast with Gordon Ramsay, Shane Dawson, Jeffree Star and Gilette were all in the top 10.
The most viewed music video is to be expected. Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road (feat. Billy Ray Cyrus) [Remix]” took the top spot. The official movie for the track took #5. Billie Eilish’s “bad guy” took the #7 spot with 21 Savage and Ariana Grande also in the top ten.
The most viewed video game list is to be expected as well. Minecraft, Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto V grabbed the top three spots. Overall, it seemed to be a fairly normal year for YouTube considering last year appeared to be the year of Latin Pop. Last year’s top ten music videos including eight Spanish-language tracks which is pretty incredible.
Speaking of the end of year lists, Spotify “Wrapped” just dropped and it’s super easy to see your top tracks and artists.
