TEN years on from YouTube’s launch, what are Ireland’s favourite music videos to watch?
Is it classics, like Michael Jackson’s Thriller? Maybe a bit of A-ha’s Take On Me? No, it seems Irish people are more into the modern classics – with Psy’s Gangnam Style taking the top spot in our favourite YouTube music videos of all time.
Recent releases have more of an advantage, being released in YouTube’s golden age – and while the chart is dominated by global musicians, Limerick’s very own Rubberbandits have managed to nab the runner up spot among Irish YouTubers.
Third generation Irishman Ed Sheeran also climbed into the top ten with his 2014 release, Thinking Out Loud.
Eminem and Rihanna’s massive collaboration Love the Way You Lie rounds off the top ten – and the five year old track is in fact the oldest on the list.
