As 2018 inches towards end, it is time to look back at what we did and what happened this year. In one such throwback, YouTube released the list of top 10 videos across the globe and desi boy Amit Bhadana managed to get in the top layer.
This year, India danced their hearts out to Drake, fell in love with Grandpa Kitchen’s Chicken Biryani Recipe, laughed at the raw humour of our new comedy kings, enjoyed peppy Bollywood music, learnt the trendiest beauty hack, used waste to create art, and watched the most sought after movie trailers.
But one look at the global top 10 on this video list and one realises that 2018 was the year of celebrities. In February, Kylie Jenner surprised the world with “To Our Daughter,” an 11-minute film detailing her pregnancy and the birth of baby Stormi. The video was released during Super Bowl game -- a coveted spot saved for advertisements and movie trailers. The video was watched over 53 million times on its way to becoming YouTube's global #1 Top Trending Video of 2018.
YouTube stars Liza Koshy and David Dobrik's breakup announcement video is another marker of the impact of the celeb culture in real life. The Brangelina of YouTube, as Kevin Allocca, head of culture and trends at YouTube, calls them, released this video in June 2018 and in first 24 hours it had gathered 14 million views. Combined, the now broken up couple has 2.5 billion views so far.
Topping the Indian creator's list is comedian Amit Bhadana who has over 11.8 million followers on YouTube. His video 'Behen Bhai Ki School Life' propelled him to #9 spot on the global list.
