PewDiePie, MrBeast, Shane Dawson top YouTube Rewind 2019 records YouTube Rewind 2019 is finally here \u2013 and the platform has made a major change to their year-end wrap-up video in wake of outrage from last year\u2019s Rewind. Rather than featuring an original skit featuring some of YouTube\u2019s more \u201cfamily-friendly\u201d faces, this time, YouTube published a lineup of the year\u2019s most popular creators and videos. The platform even addressed the backlash from their previous Rewind, including reactions from such YouTubers as Casey Neistat, RiceGum, and H3H3\u2019s Ethan Klein before delving into 2019\u2019s most-liked content. Most Liked Creator Videos Unsurprisingly, longtime YouTube star Shane Dawson came in at tenth place with his viral \u201cConspiracy Theories\u201d video, which took the online world by storm thanks to its investigation of Chuck E. Cheese\u2019s pizzas (who even responded to the mass suspicion incited by the documentary). Beauty Guru James Charles landed in seventh place due to his \u201cNo More Lies\u201d upload, which addressed drama with his mentor Tati Westbrook after she accused him of using his fame to manipulate fans. YouTube king \u201cPewDiePie\u201d likewise made the list in second place, with the documentary of his wedding to wife Marzia gaining over 4.7 million likes. Perhaps the most impressive placement comes from \u201cMrBeast,\u201d whose video \u201cMake This The Most Liked Video on YouTube\u201d actually succeeded in its quest (this year, at least), reaching over 10.9 million likes (and even becoming the most liked non-music video on the site, to boot). Most Viewed Video Games YouTube is one of the biggest platforms for video game content, and as such, showed off its most viewed video games this year, with Roblox coming in at fifth place, Garena Free Fire at fourth, and Grand Theft Auto in third with 36.9 billion views overall. Fortnite, the free to play battle royale game that took the world by storm in 2017 is still killing it two years later, topping YouTube\u2019s list at second place with 60.9 billion views. The king of video games this year, however, is Minecraft, raking in 100.2 billion views in wake of PewDiePie\u2019s notable foray into the game as a self-described \u201cMinecraft YouTuber.\u201d Most Liked Beauty Videos Considering the massive wave of success and media attention that followed his beef with Tati Westbrook, it comes as little surprise that makeup mogul James Charles came in first place with 1.6 million views for his Spanish makeup tutorial. Of course, YouTube and beauty go hand in hand with names like Jeffree Star \u2013 and Shane Dawson, for that matter, who secured second place thanks to his viral \u201cThe Beautiful World of Jeffree Star\u201d documentary with 1.4 million views. Star himself came in at fourth place, thanks to his no tea, no shade review of Kylie Jenner\u2019s skincare line. Most Viewed Creators While names like \u201cAzzyland\u201d and \u201cLazarbeam\u201d made YouTube\u2019s top ten most viewed content creators, MrBeast found himself in the mix, once more, standing in 7th place with a whopping 2.2 billion views thanks to his generous cash giveaways and insane challenges. Dude Perfect likewise made the cut, cashing out at 2.3 billion views thanks to their impressive stunt work, with vlogger David Dobrik finishing at fifth place with 2.4 billion views (in spite of his reportedly miserable adsense revenue). YouTube gamer \u201cJelly,\u201d artist \u201cPencilmation,\u201d and personality \u201cFelipe Neto\u201d scored fourth, third, and second place, while PewDiePie continues to reign as the site\u2019s undisputed ruler with 4 billion views (and 102 million subscribers). Other Categories Also mentioned in YouTube\u2019s list were its Most Liked Music Videos, Most Liked Dance Videos, and Break Out Creators, which included such names as Pakistani YouTuber Shoaib Akhtar, traveling vlogger Jennelle Eliana, and even Stranger Things actor Noah Schnapp. YouTube also shone a spotlight on its other international and breakout talent, such as Kaykai Salaider for being the first Thai creator to hit over ten million subscribers, \u201cBadabun\u201d for being the site\u2019s largest Spanish-speaking channel, and Aya Nakamura for being the most watched female artist in France, among many others. Reactions to Rewind 2019 In spite of trying to right their previous wrongs, though, it doesn\u2019t look like YouTube Rewind 2019 is being met with praise, with their video boasting 110k dislikes to 87k likes at the time of writing. Many commenters are accusing the platform of \u201cnot trying\u201d with their latest video and reusing other creators\u2019 content, as well as refusing to include other major moments from 2019 like PewDiePie reaching 100 million subscribers (which they gave to T-Series, for being the first to do so) and the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch. Thus far, it doesn\u2019t look like YouTube is off the hook, just yet \u2013 but having just been released, there\u2019s still breathing room for the internet to change its mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
