Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ll know that YouTube is the go to place for the freshest music videos. And without fail, 2015 proved to be a hotbed for the biggest and best tunes.
This year’s top ten, dominated by pop and hip-hop artists, marks a significant increase in views compared to 2014. In fact, the top four placed videos all racked up more views than last year’s winner: Katy Perry’s ‘Dark Horse’.
Shockingly, there are a couple of big omissions on the list – like Drake’s dodgy dance-fest, ‘Hotline Bling’. Even more surprising, Bieber is nowhere to be seen despite a banger-packed calendar year for everyone’s new favourite popstar.
Without further ado, here’s the top ten:
10. Silentó – ‘Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)’
9. Adele – ‘Hello’
8. Fifth Harmony – ‘Worth It ft. Kid Ink’
7. Sia – ‘Elastic Heart ft. Shia LaBeouf and Maddie Ziegler’
6. David Guetta – ‘Hey Mama ft. Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha and Afrojack’
5. Taylor Swift - ‘Bad Blood ft. Kendrick Lamar’
4. Major Lazer & DJ Snake – ‘Lean On ft. MØ’
3. Ellie Goulding – ‘Love Me Like You Do’
2. Maroon 5 – ‘Sugar’
1. Wiz Khalifa - See You Again ft. Charlie Puth’
