The Right ClickThe top YouTube videos of 2011
It's been another year of cute cats, men getting hit by unexpected things, and performers who are so questionable, we can't help but watch. YouTube has come out with its list of the most watched videos of 2011, and you're bound to have seen at least a few of this year's top clips.
Hosting YouTube's rewind is Ms. Number-one-on-the-list herself, Rebecca Black:
Canada's own Maria Aragon, performing her cover of Born This Way, cracked the top 10 in the eighth spot. The Winnipeg girl shot to fame in February when Lady Gaga herself tweeted the YouTube clip with the comment "Can't stop crying watching this. This is why I make music. She is the future." Since then, she has performed for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at Ottawa's Canada Day celebration, sung with the Prime Minister, and has landed a recording contract in the Philippines.
Not on the list but also tremendously popular are Montreal's Epic Meal Time. They came under fire earlier in the year for not speaking French in a Radio-Canada interview and for the somewhat negative light they cast on Quebec cuisine, but their two million subscribers on YouTube don't seem to mind.
Here's the list of the top most viewed YouTube videos globally. For more of YouTube's top lists for 2011, you can read their official blog here.
