So who got the axe?

After Chris Brown’s public image fiasco his Kiss Kiss video soon lost appeal.  The Jonas Brothers join Chris as both their top videos SOS and Burnin Up dropped off to make way for the ladies.  Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Venessa Hudgens have since taken the spot light.

Rank Video Total Views      Growth 
1 Avril Lavigne – Girlfriend 126,169,287 6,241,715
2 Miley Cyrus – 7 Things  101,595,574 17,109,592
3 Rihanna – Don’t Stop The Music 99,353,802 10,290,062
4 Chris Brown – With You 98,322,614 5,352,389
5 Leona Lewis – Bleeding Love 90,143,495 4,096,373
6 Alicia Keys – No One 83,796,856 3,606,701
7 Timbaland – Apologize ft. One Republic 77,860,499 2,614,388
8 Lady Gaga – Just Dance 77,075,366      New Addition
9 Katy Perry – Hot’n'cold 73,830,418      New Addition
10 Vanessa Hudgens – Say Ok Music Video 72,305,954      New Addition

*Growth calculated from May 15th

The interesting thing about the three latest editions to chart is that Vanessa’s video was added 2 years ago while Lady Gaga and Katy Perry have only been on YouTube for a year. 

Pay close attention to Hollywood Records and their strategy with Vanessa as they choose not disable the embedding feature.  A strategy that has allowed Miley’s 7 things video to amass over 30 million views since last March.  Now capping 100 million views on one video alone the strategy seems to be paying off.    

Cheers!

As for other successes on the web the second YouTuber has now cracked a million subscribers giving Fred (#1) and Nigahiga (#2) huge audiences tuning in to there video sagas.  Considering their age it will be extremely interesting to watch how these two YouTubers develop this extremely young career path.    

 

Cheers!

Will these songs ever be bumped from the list?  What artist not listed has the power and creativity to write a song powerful enough to take a run at the wildcard spot?  That’s currently 62.4 million and growing at a rate of about a million every two weeks.  Who could possibly do it?

Cheers!

YouTube March 20th

YouTube March 20th

The update shows a healthy growth in views for all videos with an average growth of 862,505 views.  The true winner and biggest growth of the last 2 weeks though was Miley Cyrus jumping up 2.5 million views, over million and a half over any other top ten video.

At this pace Miley’s run for number one doesn’t seem inconceivable.  As you read this she has passed Timbaland’s Apologize.

Cheers
