So what we found large numbers of people like? In no particular order: guitar virtuosity, semen, helpless, dead superstars, nubile bad life, children, party, Andy Samberg, and cocaine.
See if you can guess who made the most watched Youtube video of the music of 2009, * after the jump.
NUMBER TEN (38 million views): Michael Jackson, “Best Ever Moonwalk”
Originally published in 2006, but somehow very big this year.
NUMBER NINE (38 million visitors): Miley Cyrus, “Fly on the Wall”
Move over Lady Gaga – this pop whore real home was the Queen of Youtube Musical unstoppable this year.
Number eight (39 million visitors): Lonely Island, T-Pain, “I’m on a boat”
SNL-affiliated actors assume AutoTune madness. Guys who say “brother” much loved in ’09!
Number seven (56 million visitors): Michael Jackson “Beat It”
We are not morbid. We just want to remember him like this – happy (sort of) black, straight nose and apparent.
Number Six (59 million visitors): Miley Cyrus, “Part of the U.S.”: Jay-Z She namechecked (although he had never heard) and headed east of the poppermost toppermost.
NUMBER FIVE (66 million visitors): Miley Cyrus, “The Climb”
Yes, She did it again! Miley Trifecta for 2009 – people could not get enough of the fox minors. Achy Breaky What has wrought .
NUMBER FOUR (67 million views): Funtwo, “Guitar”
First surprise! A teenager in her room overlit shilling for the Guitar Master Pro system learning by participating in some elaborate baroque Noodling. Actually, not so shocking: people have always been suckers for Pachelbel’s Canon and skill without a soul.
NUMBER THREE (73 million visitors): Lonely Island, “Jizz in My Pants”
More humor of brotherhood, this time on premature ejaculation. Fans of this get to be fans of this despicable “Viva Viagra” commercial (et tu, Lieber and Stoller …)
NUMBER TWO (82 million views): Susan Boyle, “Britain’s Got Talent”
Ha! Gotcha. We bet he considers to have been the most watched Youtube video of the music of 2009. Nope. People loved the Scottish spinster differently-disabled with the voice of an angel with a disability differently, but not as much as she loved him.
NUMBER ONE (86 million visitors): Pitbull, “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)”
Cocaine takes !!!!!! The favorite song of “roid up, assistant club shit! Yes, you read that right: the poet Miami lust-with-a-metallic-taste-in-the-roof-of-your-mouth, single and (hopefully) Pitbull made the most watched Youtube video of the music of 2009. The people have spoken, loud and unpleasant. Happy Holidays.
