Music videos just fucked our whole shit up this week, you guys. Going in, we were sure that Bieber was going to take the number one spot. But then Rihanna had to come in and touch Shakira’s butt and ruin everybody’s plans. Yes, that’s right, after less than a day, "Can't Remember To Forget You" by Shakira outperformed Justin Bieber’s “Confident” by nearly 5 million views. When it's all said and done, "Can't Remember To Forget You" will end up right behind "Wrecking Ball" as Vevo's second most viewed video in its first 24 hours. It will also end up passing "El Perdedor" by Enrique Iglesias as the most popular video of the year so far. One Direction comes in at number three this week, followed by Paramore, both brining in around 2 million views, and Keith Urban, Within Temptation, and Demi Lovato also came through with some pretty big numbers. There were a lot more popular videos this week than fit in this top ten, so check out this playlist of the top 25 to get a better idea what this week was all about. And if you want to hear more about what we thought of those videos, you should also check our weekly podcast where we talk about that very subject.
