As we draw
the curtain on an incredible 2015, it’s time to take our annual look at the
videos, moments and channels that shaped our year. The 2015 list, which
includes the biggest viral hits from the most popular channels in the country
shows that politics, the elections and of course, music, are still very critical
in driving pop culture in Nigeria.
Not
surprisingly, Politics was a hot topic on the Nigerian
list this
year, as the presidential election
and its aftermath loomed large in the minds of Nigerians. Occupying the 5th and
10th position on the top trending non-music videos list are the audio file
of
Ex-pres. Jonathan’s
congratulatory call to Pres. Buhari,
and
Rev.
Mbaka’s outburst pertaining to President Jonathan’s
re-election
campaign.
However it wasn’t only
about the serious stuff alone, as AYTV’s take on ‘Election
Results’, Sahara TV’s satirical
video on the exit of ‘Patience
& Goodluck Jonathan from Aso Rock Staff’ and Bovi TV’s
‘The
Innocent Man’ kept the country in
stitches.
Also making the top 10
list are the moments that sent shock waves across the nation. The ‘alarming
confession of nanny who kidnapped Orekoya children’ and the
Lekki
Robbery which occurred in March
are two of the videos that also made the top-10 list.
Street-type interviews
are also fast becoming a top favorite with Nigerian YouTube viewers- a sign that
Nigerians want to be involved in deciding the direction of trending stories.
Topping the list and holding the much coveted 2015 highest trending video
position is Nigeria the Naij interview relating to the
Xenophobic
attacks in South Africa. The video which was
uploaded in April has been watched over 650k times.
In the music category,
CEO of top music label “Yahoo Boy No Laptop” (YBNL),
Olamide has been a clear favourite, with his runaway hits ‘Bobo’,
‘Falila
Ketan’,
‘Melo
Melo’ and
‘Lagos
Boys’ making
the list of music videos that kept Nigerian feet dancing in 2015.
The
gravity-defying moves of Psquare put ‘Collabo’ firmly on
the list, which is dominated by videos from Nigeria’s music industry, including
Flavour and Chidinma’s
‘Ololufe’,
‘Woju
remix’
by Kiss
Daniel, and
WizKid’s tribute ‘Ojuelegba'.. Wiz
Khalifa flies the flag for only
foreign artist on the Nigerian
list with
‘See You Again’ from the cinema hit Furious
7.
Globally,
the top trending videos of 2015 include
Watch Me (Whip /NaeNae) from
Silento; The official Super Bowl TV Commercial for Clash of Clans:
Revenge;, The
Crazy
Plastic Ball PRANK!!
and the

Synch
battle
between Will Ferrell,
Kevin Hart and Jimmy Fallon.
The top 5
music videos worldwide are the Furious 7 soundtrack, See You Again by Wiz
Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth; Sugar by Maroon 5; Ellie Goulding’s
Love Me Like You Do; Lean On by Major Lazer & Dj Snake and Taylor
