YouTube’s official blog has released a list of the most-watched YouTube videos of 2010 as of November. The most-watched video of the year, excluding major-label music videos, was the Auto-Tuned Bed Intruder Song, ft. Antoine Dodson. The original Old Spice video is on the list; so is the original Double Rainbow video; so is the Twilight trailer and one or two videos the appeal of which eludes me.
