Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s inauguration in January and a survival challenge from MrBeast, one of the top-earning YouTubers in the world, ruled the US charts for the most-watched YouTube videos in 2021, the video platform has revealed. Collectively, the top 10 videos were viewed more than 485 million times and for around 70 million hours, YouTube said on Thursday.
The channels behind them total more than 238 million subscribers.
Other videos in the US list of most-watched on YouTube this year are Weeknd’s much memeified performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, a hot take on one of the most talked-about games of the year, a scripted morality lesson, a moving musical audition, and a fight against zombies.
