Summer of 2009: The Top 5 YouTube Videos

Written by Frederic Lardinois / November 4, 2009 11:01 AM / 4 Comments

youtube_logo_nov08.pngWedding dances, dancing babies, Kanye West, broken guitars and a crowdsourced music video. These are the top 5 most embedded and linked to videos of this summer. Social media analytics and tracking firm Sysomos just posted an extensive report about how bloggers use videos on their sites. One part of this report looked at the most popular videos that were embedded or linked to from blogs between July and September 2009.

We should note that these are the top 5 most embedded videos. While there is a clear correlation between how often a video was embedded and how many views it got over the last few months, it's important to remember that this list isn't organized by total views over the last three months but by blog embeds and links.

  1. Instead of just looking at which videos were linked to the most, perhaps we should rank them by which we like the best.

  2. Rank by quality instead of quantity? Everybody knows the most watched movies are the best!
