About 1 trillion videos have been played on YouTube in the past year, which is the equivalent of 140 views for every person on Earth. Can you guess which video was number one? I’ll give you a hint, “It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on friday, everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend.” Yup. Rebecca Black’s Friday video was the number one video of the year. The top 10 videos of the year are:

Here is a video of a house that is covered in Christmas lights that is synchronized to the song “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Theme (Sons of Skyrim).” The music plays through an FM transmitter. This video was uploaded a couple of weeks ago and it has nearly 40,000 views.

As Christmas Day approaches, many of us may expect gifts being delivered by USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc. YouTube user Goobie55 uploaded a video of his monitor being delivered by FedEx. The FedEx driver threw the monitor very hard over Goobie55′s fence and it broke. This video has received over 2.7 million YouTube views since being uploaded two days ago. I can understand that the holiday season can be stressful on logistics workers, but it should not be relieved by taking out on the beating of consumer electronics. I’m sure this employee will be penalized somehow. Goobie55 had to return his monitor because it broke after being delivered.

A 16 year old and his dad in Meridian, Idaho put together a house with Christmas lights, which is synced with some dubstep music. There are 35,000 LED lights and 64 Light O Rama channels. The song that the Christmas lights are set to is called “First of the Year (Equinox)” by Skrillex.

Angela Trimbur had a bad break-up and she decided to cheer herself up by dancing like nobody’s watching in a YouTube video. Trimbur danced to the song “I’m Good. I’m Gone” by Lykke Li at a laundromat in Echo Park, California. This video has gone viral on YouTube by gathering well over 380,000 views since being uploaded on December 11, 2011.

At the Music Hack Day 2011 event in London, Robert Boehnke was able to use SiriProxy to intercept the communication between Apple’s servers and Siri. Siri’s speech synthesis was then synced to the beat using the timestamps obtained from the Echonest API. The speech synthesis was used for the song “Hypnotize” by the Notorious B.I.G. Above is the result. Universal Music awarded him with a pair of Dr. Dre headphones as a reward. [Gizmodo]

Above is a video that Megaupload created a music video that features Macy Gray, Kim Kardashian, Will.i.am, Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, Kanye West, Floyd Mayweather, Estelle, Carmello Anthony, Ciara, Brett Rattner, Lil’ Jon, P. Diddy, Mary J. Blige, and several other celebrities. Universal Music Group had it taken down from YouTube. YouTube’s copyright filters removed the all star video, but Google reinstated the video on Wednesday.

I’m a long-time fan of the TV shows Breaking Bad and The Simpsons. Some people believed that there are some striking similarities between Ned Flanders of The Simpsons and Walter White of Breaking Bad. This is why one of them matched up the audio from Breaking Bad with video from The Simpsons. This mash-up has surpassed over 300,000 YouTube views since going online about 4 days ago.
