YouTube's video popularity chart

There aren't a lot of lists of "viral videos" or "hit videos" out there. Which I found very surprising. So, I went to the source ... YouTube. You can find the sorted list of their top most viewed videos at YouTube. Of interest, I think you find a different list if you are logged in (i.e. more "adult oriented" in nature) than if you are not logged in (i.e. more PG).

Also, you can filter their list by "when" (today, this week, this month, this year, or all time), and by video or channel.

Anyhow, enjoy YouTube's list of most popular videos.

Another Viral Video List

I found another list of Viral Videos.

This one is prepared and maintained on the
Visible Measures Blog. Have a look at their May 2009 list of the top web videos of all time.

Top Viral Videos

You'd think that there would be lots of lists of the "best viral videos". But, I can't find them. I did come across Unruly Media's list under a number of searches.

Check out Unruly Media's today's Top 20 today (and be ready to waste some time doing it ... but you will probably laugh a bit).
