What a year it has been…
On the same day that Spotify dropped their 2019 Unwrapped feature – QUICK! SEE WHAT SONG YOU’VE BEEN LISTENING TO THE MOST! – YouTube have announced their 2019 Rewind, and the statistics specific to Ireland are… telling.
We’ve broken the top five down into the two categories; music videos and then pretty much everything else (that isn’t published by a major music label).
On the music side of things, it skews pretty close to the Spotify 2019 lists that were announced earlier this week, but on the non-music video list, it seems that Irish people love watching Irish comedy as two of the top five on the list are from well-known Irish comedians.
The top five music videos were as follows:
1. ‘Bad Guy’ – Billie Eilish
2. ‘Old Town Road’ – Lil’ Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus
3. ‘Vossi Bop’ – Stormzy
4. ‘Dancing With A Stranger’ – Sam Smith featuring Normani
5. ‘Dance Monkey’ – Tones And I
Meanwhile, the top five most-watched (non-music) videos were as follows:
1. No More Lies – James Charles
