It seems that the individualcharts arepublishedonalmosteverysite dedicated to online video. Even the solid Reuters agency today published some semblance of such a hit parade , for some reason giving special attention to Britney Spears. The vast majority of the most popular videos on the Internet are stored on YouTube . By the way, YouTube has a special page with a list of top-rated videos with the number of views for each of them.
Very interesting to compare. The most famous video from the expanses of the CIS (the famous dancing Belarusian ) was watched 1,163,917 times, but the absolute record on YouTube belongs to another dance video , which today has almost 37 million views. This and other popular videos are listed in the amateur video charts on the Viral Video Chart .
Unlike other ratings, Viral Video Chart charts are not composed of the number of views (which always grows over time), but by the number of links to a particular video plot. Probably, this approach is more objective, although sometimes we see a clear discrepancy between the number of incoming links and the total number of views. Well, let's see what content created one of the brightest phenomena of 2006 - the phenomenon of viral video. ')
