It is the season to look at the year gone by and YouTube today unveiled the top videos of 2019 via YouTube Rewind.In a country like India, with video increasingly becoming the entry-point of new users to the internet, YouTube Rewind provides a snapshot of the videos and stories that caught India’s imagination this year.While movies and music continued to rule the hearts and minds of India, with ‘Rowdy Baby’ from Dhanush-starrer Maari 2 making it to YouTube’s global most viewed charts, breakout creators like Khandeshi Movies and their signature style of down-home comedy had audiences laughing across the country.Satya Raghavan, Director - YouTube Partnerships, India, commented, “For the last several years, video has increasingly been a medium that inspired and fascinated Indians and also became the canvas for their imaginations. In the twelfth year of YouTube’s journey in India, 2019 has proven to be a coming-of-age year in more ways than one.”

On YouTube, 2019 has been the year when previously niche genres like farming, gaming and learning blossomed into categories worth reckoning, notching impressive reach and engagement. Across categories, women creators could be seen leading from the front. While 2016 had just 1 woman YouTube creator with a subscriber base of over 1 million, 2019 has seen that number climb to a whopping 120 women YouTube creators with over a million followers. While the portfolio of categories widened to add new verticals like learning and farming, Indian languages continued their expansion across verticals, with languages like Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam turning into fast growing video ecosystems in their own right. From comedy to gaming to beauty, each of these languages today houses a full showcase of the range of content on YouTube, with millions of creators fuelling the growth, and advertisers leveraging it to reach their marketing objectives.

Here’s a quick look at 2019 in video, and what made the top charts globally and in India.
