YouTube 2019: Top 10 Trending Videos | Top 10 Most Viewed Music Videos | Top 10 Most Liked Beauty Videos in USA

YouTube is out with its year-in-review lists for 2019, documenting the top videos, trends, creators, music, games and more.

Leading the list of U.S. top-trending videos was beauty influencer James Charles’ “No More Lies” (pictured above), his video response to accusations of betrayal and misbehavior by vlogger Tati Westbrook. After the controversy blew up in May, Charles was targeted by “cancel” culture and his YouTube channel lost millions of subscribers; after he apologized his subscriber counts rebounded.

Charles, who recently inked a deal with YouTube to host a reality-competition beauty show to award one aspiring up-and-coming makeup artist $50,000, also had the most-liked beauty video in the U.S. for the year with “Makeup Tutorial en Español” (1.6 million likes to date).

Popular YouTuber Shane Dawson hit YouTube’s top-trending U.S. video list twice: His investigation into conspiracy theories and what happened to Lisa Schwartz, ex-girlfriend came in at No. 3 and his collaboration with Jeffree Star dissing Kylie Jenner’s skin-care product line was No. 7.

NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” also made YouTube’s top-trending list, hitting the No. 8 spot with its parody of the R. Kelly interview by CBS News’ Gayle King in May.

YouTube’s ranking of trending videos is not based only on views, factoring in multiple variables including views, likes, comments and searches.

On the music front, Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus topped the most-viewed music videos in the U.S., both at the No. 1 and No. 5 spot with the “official movie” version of the video.

The other most popular songs on YouTube in the U.S. this year were Dababy’s “Suge (Yea Yea)”; Yo Gotti’s “Put a Date On It” featuring Lil Baby; Polo G’s “Pop Out” featuring Lil Tjay; Offset’s “Clout” ft. Cardi B; Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy”; 21 Savage’s “A Lot” ft. J. Cole; Ariana Grande’s “7 rings”; and Daddy Yankee and Snow’s “Con Calma.”

The lists will be part of YouTube Rewind 2019, the video site’s annual mashup of top memes and trends of the year, set to be released later Thursday.

Here are YouTube’s lists for 2019 of the top videos in different categories:
