Akon Drops Off The Chart – May 2009 All Time Music Videos

The YouTube most viewed of All Times chart saw Akon’s “Don’t Matter” song get pushed from the number 10 spot over the last two weeks as the Jonas Brothers start to claim more real estate.  Burnin’ Up is the second song on the chart for the boys as they have crept into the 9th and 10th spots.  

Miley Cyrus continues to dominate the chart movement as she closes in on Leona Lewis but the real fear is that the time advantage looks like it may be showing signs of weakness.  The artists present were some of the first to dominate the chart and have enjoyed the compounding factor of the position.  But, as the big name companies funnel the views to YouTube by disabling the embedding function it allows for others to use the advantage and close the gap.  Burnin’ Up does not disable the function and Akon does…  

Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Katie Perry have taken to disabling the embedding function as well however, they still have climbed the charts extremely rapidly starting to make appearances on the first page of the chart but not yet in the top ten.   

We shall see how this plays out in the next two weeks.  

Cheers!

Top 100 YouTube Videos of All Times – 72% are Music Videos

YouTube’s All Times most viewed video chart is being taken over by music.  When we first reported on the top 100 70% of videos on the Top 100 all time chart were music videos.  Currently, the music videos on the chart today account for 72% of all videos.  The growth of 2% occured because music is extremely viral.  Artist like Lady Gaga and Beyonce released songs (Just Dance, Single Ladies) and within months their making an appearance on the top 100.  Universal Music Group has 14 songs on this list!!!!

Looking closer at the Top Ten, 6 are music videos and interestingly positions 11 to 15 are all music video just waiting to squeeze those last 4 out.

So without boring you further here’s the list as of May 12th.
