**YouTube has gone from strength to strength in 2015** – generating billions of video views each day, and reporting a 60 percent increase in watch time in comparison to last year, reports [The Next Web](http://thenextweb.com/google/2015/12/09/youtubes-10-most-popular-videos-of-2015/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com). which added that “Sitting at the top of the millions of videos posted in 2015 are the top-10 most watched videos uploaded this year.  
YouTube’s list splits out music videos from other clips, but if it didn’t, “Wiz Khalifa’s See You Again” would be sitting at the top of the list with 1.2 billion views and counting since April.”

The next most popular music videos are “Maroon 5 with Sugar”, and the official video for “Major Lazer & DJ Snake’s Lean On”, which have had 910 million and 875 million views respectively.
