Top 10 Viral Videos of 2009 Are (Not) All About You

Visible Measures has just released annual list of Top Ten Viral Videos for 2009.

So this Web 2.0, right?  Everything is all about YOU, YOU, YOU.

So if you guessed that the top ten viral videos of 2009 were user-generated, you were absolutely wrong.

Every single video in the top ten is a music video except for the number one video, which is trailer for Twilight: New Moon.

Visible Measures estimates that trailer has been watched more than 592 million times, which, if you’re counting, is even more times than Tiger Woods slept with a prostitute last year.

Visible Measures list is determined by data from viewership of both officially syndicated video clips and viewer-driven social video placements. The data is compiled using its database analysis on more than 200 million Internet videos across 150 video-sharing platforms. Here is the full list.
