Many of make YouTube a mandatory stop on our daily browsings. So I thought today would be a good day to take a look at their top 5 videos.

Personally I was expecting something like lonelygirl15 or a Spider-Man trailer or something to be number 1. But no, the most popular video of all time on YouTube, so far, has been Evolution of Dance by comedian Judson Laipply. Added to YouTube on April 06, 2006 it has amassed 55.8 Million views. It’s had 60,476 comments, the first of which was: “That was freaking AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!!” The comments for this video are still going strong today - the latest 6 comments have all come just today as I was writing this post.

The next 3 most viewed YouTube videos are all music. Two of them professional, one amatuer.

• Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend video, uploaded by RCARecords 5 months ago, has amassed 50 Million views.
• My Chemical Romance’s Famous Last Words is third, with 35M views.
• Guitar, is fourth with 26M views. It’s 5 minutes of Queen-like guitar licks, by some very talented dude.

And coming in at number 5 (and perhaps a cult classic now showing a new side of J-Tim):

• SNL - Digital Short - A Special Christmas Box (comedy)
