We’re only a few weeks short of the end of the year. And as the custom has been over the years, YouTube has again released a mashup of all the top events, memes, videos, and songs from the year.

2016 saw Kabali ruling the charts to become top trending movie trailer, and Kapil Sharma’s show featuring Salman Khan, along with YouTube stars of The Viral Fever playing truth or dare with dad and All India Bakchod’s honest portrayal of bars and restaurants as the top trending video’s of the year.

According to YouTube, this year’s top ten videos, collectively have 70 million views and the channels who make them have more than 45 million subscribers who tune in regularly to watch the funny, insightful, entertaining content they create/ upload.

Here’s the complete list.

From an ads perspective, it is quite evident from the YouTube Leaderboard 2016 that several brands chose to create long format ads for a primarily digital-first audience. In fact, seven out of top 10 most watched ads in 2016 were over 90 seconds long. And audiences too were willing to invest their time and attention on ads that are narrative-driven and take a storytelling approach. #Dettolsheronkepanje was the most viewed ads for 2016 with close to 13 million views, and #Ranveerchingreturns and Amazon’s#ApniDukaan taking the next spots.
