Justin Bieber has most views on YouTube for 2010

Canadian-born singer Justin Bieber, 16, has dominated YouTube this year with his hit video for Baby. The lead single from Bieber’s album My World 2.0 was named most-watched music video in 2010 by YouTube. Hardly surprising considering that in July, Baby was tagged the most-watched music video of all time. The video, which features Ludacris, saw a staggering 406 million views in 2010.

Following Bieber in music video views, Shakira took second place with 254 million views for her video Waka Waka (This Time for Africa), Eminem held both third and fourth place with Love the Way You Lie (229 million views) and Not Afraid (164 million views). Rhianna, who was also featured on Eminem’s third place Love the Way You Lie, took fifth with her solo Rude Boy earning 118 million views.

The viral meme Bed Intruder Song by the Gregory Brothers, creators of Auto-Tune the News, earned the distinction of being the most watched original video in the US and around the world when it was viewed more than 60 million times. The meme was based on newsreel footage regarding an attempted rape in Alabama. The Gregory Brothers remixed and auto-tuned the news clip to create a catchy pop song which not only dominated YouTube but managed to climb onto the Billboard Top 100.

Second place for most-watched original video was awarded to the Ke$ha parody by Key of Awesome, which garnered more than 51 million views. In third with 34 million watchers was Greyson Chance performing Paparazzi, followed by Annoying Orange Wazzup in fourth, and the Old Spice ad, The Man Your Man Could Smell Like, rounding out the top five.
