Notes: -Justin Bieber continues to dominate. "Baby" got 21M views this month.

-Likewise, many of the Top 50 videos probably beat the Top 3.

-There are no indie charts, sadly, but you'll find M.I.A. saddled at #115, and an unofficial version of MGMT's "Kids" at #141.

-Curiously, Tupac Shakur's song attacking the Notorious B.I.G. is at #79.

         

Is there any way of knowing how much money these videos make for their record companies through YouTube/Vevo?

In case you're wondering I'll be doing this at the end of Feb, so we can get some real, accurate stats on YouTube by the month.

         

Thanks for doing this, Kevathens! It goes to show how widely viewed mv's are right now-- more eyeballs than even in mtv's heyday.

         

Love the charts! Videostatistician by trade or just hobby? I used to be a music programmer and always followed/researched various regional/global charts.
