YouTube's Top Trending Videos 2020
The platform has recently published an official blog post this Tuesday, December 1, showing which creators and videos are on the list.
"This year's top trending videos show how creators quickly adapted to the unforeseen challenges of 2020 while also addressing the unique, personal needs of their communities," said Kevin Alloca, YouTube's Head of Culture & Trends.
There are tons of content on YouTube, but as the COVID-19 pandemic worsen, it became an excellent way for many to stay connected to the outside world or to escape the stress of real life.
Videos ranged from videos with social messages, comedic skits of quarantine things, entertaining but educational videos, a breakup video, and even a coming out video that became the most-watched video of its sort.
With that, here are the Top Trending Videos of 2020 in the United States:
