Video: Ireland’s most popular YouTube videos for 2014 have been revealed

Who wants a reminder about a singing priest, spider-dog and an ice bucket challenge gone wrong?

Much like Fr Dougal, JOE is no good when it comes to judging crowds but if we were to hazard a guess at how many YouTube videos we’ve seen in 2014 then we would say it’s about 17 million.

The website is the second most popular in the world – after our own, of course – and they’ve just released the 10 biggest trending videos and music videos amongst Irish audiences.

This year’s edition covers everything from singing priests, an anti-bullying song and an irate two-year-old’s plea for her parents to listen to her rendition of Frozen’s ‘Let it Go’.

Here’s the Top 10 from 1-10.
