#YouTubeRewind: Celebrating what you created, watched and shared in 2015
Thursday, December 10, 2015
In 2015, you introduced the world to the latest
dance crazes
, opened up discussions about
diversity and inclusion
, and lip-synced in
cars
and
onstage
in front of millions. The trends you participated in and the creativity you shared defined the year on YouTube in a bigger way than ever before.
It's time to celebrate. More than 150 YouTube creators from all over the world got together to relive not just the best moments of 2015, but also some of the most memorable viral clips from YouTube history (hey, it’s still our
10th birthday year
for a few more days yet …). The result: the 2015 installment of our annual Rewind video, featuring everything from YouTube dance prodigies, some of your favourite TV personalities, an epic plastic ball fight, and even a remix from Avicii.
Here are the top trending videos for 2015 in Australia, based on the amount of time people spent watching, sharing, commenting, liking, and more. This year, the list represents the amazing variety of creativity brought to YouTube each day, including social commentary, pranks, movie trailers, and hilarious moments from traditional media and big names on YouTube.
Given the interest in the recent launch of the
YouTube Kids app in Australia
, it’s no surprise to see that a video from Peppa Pig took out the top spot this year. Four global television moments also made the top Trending Videos list in Australia, paying homage to widely popular YouTube trends including lip sync battles, in-car singalongs, and the reading of mean tweets.
