YouTube Rewind: Pinoys’ most-watched videos of 2014

YouTube just released 2014’s top trending videos, and in the Philippines it looks like music dominated the lists, both for the music video and non-music video lists.

 

For music videos, the top entry is Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” while (unsurprisingly) the sing-along version of “Let it Go” was number one video in the non-music video category.

 

Yeng Constantino’s “Ikaw” was the only OPM song (and the only ballad song) in the hip-hop and pop-dominated music videos list.

 

 

Katy Perry - Dark Horse (Official) ft. Juicy J: Katy Perry plays Katy Pätra, a takeoff on Egyptian pharaoh Cleopatra, in the ancient Memphis, Egypt-themed music video. It received two nominations at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Female Video and Best Collaboration, and won Best Video last November 4 at the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards.

 

 

Jason Derulo - "Wiggle" feat. Snoop Dogg (Official HD Music Video): The popular club hit is a wiggle-inducing trap-hip hop song which peaked at the US Billboard Hot 100 at number five.

 

 

PSY - HANGOVER feat. Snoop Dogg M/V: South Korean musician PSY is no stranger to YouTube Rewind’s top ten list, topping 2012’s list with Gangnam Style. HANGOVER was filmed in South Korea during Snoop Dogg’s visit in January 2014.

 

 

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off: The catchy pop song debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It features several talented dancers of hip hop, ballet, jazz and cheerleading styles, and references some of the world’s most popular musicians, such as Lady Gaga and Skrillex.

 

 

Iggy Azalea - Fancy (Explicit) ft. Charli XCX: A homage to the 90’s cult classic Clueless starring Alicia Silverstone, this music video was nominated for Video of the Year, Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Best Art Direction at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.

 

 

YENG CONSTANTINO - Ikaw (Official Music Video): Pop-rocker Yeng Constantino has also been on this list before with Pag-Ibig. Now, her new romantic video features her fiance Victor Asuncion, lead vocalist of alternative rock band Indios.

 

 

Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass: Bubblegum pop with influences from 50's retro R&B and hip hop, the song's catchy beat and lyrics were praised by critics all around. The music video features cute choreography complementing the song’s positive message on body acceptance.

 

 

"Counting Stars" - OneRepublic (Alex Goot, Kurt Schneider, and Chrissy Costanza Cover): A collaboration between three musicians who found fame on YouTube, the music video is a cover performance of one of OneRepublic’s most successful singles.

 

 

Chris Brown - Loyal (Explicit) ft. Lil Wayne, Tyga: Usher, Trey Songz, and Ty Dolla Sign make cameo appearances in the popular music video. The song peaked at number one in both the Official UK R&B Chart and the US Rhythmic chart.

 

 

Nicki Minaj - Anaconda: Heavily sampling Sir Mix-a-Lot’s grammy-winning song Baby Got Back, Anaconda’s music video features a cameo appearance by rapper and labelmate Drake and a lot of twerking. The video broke Vevo’s 24-hour streaming record by accumulating 19.6 million views on its first day of release.

 

 

Even the non-music video list is mostly made up of songs. Aside from “Let It Go” (which appears twice in the list as a sing-along and as a cover), children’s songs and videos aimed at kids also make up the bulk of the countdown. This means that either many parents use YouTube for educational purposes, or we’re easily amused by kiddie songs and games.
