What the World Watched on YouTube in 2009

As 2009 draws to a close, it’s time for a plethora of year-end lists, from “Celebs We Lost This Year” to “Hot or Not 2010” (be sure and check this one out, if you haven’t already :) ).

One incredibly interesting list is YouTube’s Most Watched list, recently released on their company blog. So what did the world watch in terms of online video this year? Here are the top 5:

1. Susan Boyle – Britain’s Got Talent (120+ million views)
2. David After Dentist (37+ million views)
3. JK Wedding Entrance Dance (33+ million views)
4. New Moon Movie Trailer (31+ million views)
5. Evian Roller Babies (27+ million views)

The underdog of the year, Susan Boyle, stole the YouTube crown, with a boy’s post-dentist video coming in a distant second.

The Wedding Entrance Dance was another popular favorite, prompting even a copycat move by the staff of NBC’s “The Office.”

In addition, YouTube outlines the fastest search terms by month. For December, the answer is far from a surprise … (hint: golf phenom). Check out a whole bunch of other interesting tidbits on YouTube’s blog.
