YouTube's Trending Games of December

This month on YouTube Gaming, these were the ten games that grew the fastest.

Meet the YouTube Trending tab

Today, in addition to revealing the year's top trends with YouTube Rewind, we also unveil a new way to follow these hot videos and memes as they develop: the YouTube Trending tab.

Just as YouTube Rewind 2015 celebrates the biggest clips, creators, songs, and memes of the year, the Trending tab offers a way to see the videos people are watching, discussing, and sharing each and every day via a feed in your YouTube desktop and mobile app. From the most-anticipated new trailers to the hottest music videos to viral clips from the biggest (and smallest) YouTube creators, the Trending tab showcases a wide range of popular and buzzworthy content from across the world of video.

Trending Tab on Android

The Trending tab is available globally and updates throughout the day with the latest spiking clips. Deeper than just a list of videos with the most views, this daily feed captures newsworthy or otherwise notable videos receiving rapid rises in viewership and generating discussion both on and off YouTube. We're also adding features, starting in Android, that help you find trending videos in key genres and topics like Music, Gaming, and News.

Never miss a pizza rat, "Nae Nae" dance, or Drake parody ever again.

YouTube's Trending Games of October

This month on YouTube Gaming, these were the ten games that grew the fastest.

'Hello' Joins List of Fastest Videos to Reach 100M Views

In less than a week, Adele's debut of her new single reached a milestone it takes most major music videos months to achieve. "Hello" crossed 100 million views in just five days, making it the fastest video to reach it in 2015. It's the second-fastest video ever to hit that mark, trailing only "Gentleman," PSY's 2013 follow up to the global smash hit "Gangnam Style," which did it in four.

Four of the five quickest videos to cross that threshold are from female artists. Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball," Shakira and Rihanna's "Can't Remember to Forget You," and Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" all saw explosive viewership for their much-discussed releases.

The 100 million-view mark was famously first crossed by another female singer, Avril Lavigne, whose original video for "Girlfriend" crossed in 2008.

Adele's earlier singles took longer to hit 100 million, and the explosive speed at which her latest release took off speaks to the scale of the audience of fans she's developed since.

The numbers here also speak to the global fanbase Adele has acquired. Over the weekend, "Hello" was the most-viewed video in 92 different countries ranging from Brazil, Greece, South Africa, France, Canada, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates.
