#YouTubeRewind is here!
As 2020 draws near, it’s time to celebrate the moments that defined the past twelve months in pop culture. From a hockey-loving four year-old to Celine Dion’s carpool karaoke, YouTube Rewind is celebrating a whole lot of Canada, too.
Check out Canada’s annual lists of top trending videos and top music videos below.
In 2019, Canadians turned to YouTube to learn something new, and this year’s Rewind takes that to heart. We tuned in to understand the federal election results from CBC News and to get answers from Canadian-Australian Veritasium on how the Los Angeles reservoir improves water quality.
2019 also saw creators transform into mainstream celebrities with genre-defying influence: James Charles and Tati’s back-and-forth transcended the beauty community; Shane Dawson continued to find success with his longform docuseries format; and MrBeast’s challenge videos united viewers across the internet.
Collectively, these top 10 trending videos were watched 371 million times and for around 180 million hours. The channels behind them total more than 868 million subscribers.
