Celebrating the creators, music and moments that mattered most to you in 2019.

Keep scrolling to learn how the top lists in Rewind were generated.

The top lists featured in Rewind 2019 were created using data from November 1, 2019.

Most Liked Beauty Videos:

This list was generated by ranking the most liked videos uploaded in 2019 associated with the keywords “beauty,” “beauty tips,” and “cosmetics.” The results were reviewed and filtered to ensure videos reflected actual beauty tutorials, beauty product reviews, or the creation of beauty product lines. To feature as many creators as possible, an individual creator was only able to appear once. For example, if a creator had multiple videos in the top 10, only their highest-ranked video was featured.

Most Liked Creator Videos:

This list was generated by ranking the most liked videos uploaded in 2019. The results were reviewed and filtered to ensure relevance for the core Rewind viewership demographic (historically 16+). Any geo-restricted content that would prevent Rewind from being viewable globally was removed. To focus on the achievements of individual creators and creator groups, videos judged to be from channels such as media companies or music artists were excluded (music artists were eligible to appear in the Most Liked Music Video section). To feature as many creators as possible, an individual creator was only able to show up once. For example, if a creator had multiple videos in the top 10, only their highest-ranked video was featured.

Most Liked Dance Videos:

This list was generated by ranking the most liked videos uploaded in 2019 with the word “choreography” in the title. The results were reviewed and music artist rehearsals were excluded (music artists were eligible to appear in the Most Liked Music Video section). To feature as many choreographers as possible, an individual choreographer was only able to appear once. For example, if a choreographer had multiple videos in the top 10, only their highest-ranked video was featured.

Most Liked Music Videos:

This list was generated by ranking the most liked official music videos uploaded in 2019. In order to feature as many artists as possible, an individual artist/group was only able to appear once. For example, if an artist had multiple videos in the top 10, only their highest-ranked video was featured. However, in the instance where an artist also appeared as part of a group, the artist appeared twice (as in the case of J-Hope / BTS).

  1. Shawn Mendes, Camilla Cabello, Señorita
  2. BTS, Boy With Luv feat. Halsey
  3. Blackpink 'Kill This Love
  4. Billie Eilish, bad guy

Most Viewed Creators:

This list was generated by ranking channels by total views in 2019. The results were reviewed and filtered to ensure relevance for the core Rewind viewership demographic (historically 16+). In order to focus on the achievements of individual creators and creator groups, channels such as media companies, networks and music artists were excluded (music artists were eligible to appear in the Most Liked Music Video section).

Top Breakout Creators:

This list was generated by ranking the most net subscribers (subscribers gained minus subscribers lost) for channels whose first public upload came on or after January 1, 2019. The results were reviewed and filtered to ensure relevance for the core Rewind viewership demographic (historically 16+). Any channel that appeared to be a 2nd channel for a given creator, where the creator’s original channel launched prior to 2019, was excluded. To focus on the achievements of individual creators and creator groups, channels such as media companies, networks and music artists were excluded (music artists were eligible to appear in the Most Liked Music Video section).

Beyond our top lists, we considered regional milestones and records, videos that drove the most social conversation, and trends that emerged in 2019 in order to incorporate additional videos, creators, and artists from the year.
