The London 2012 Olympics may now be at an end, but it's legacy continues to live on with the Men's 200m Final topping this week's Brand Viral Chart, having been won by a certain Mr Usain Bolt.

Bolt's second solo gold of the Games has received 949,028 views online in total - although the Olympics have used its infinite wisdom as ever and banned it from displaying on our chart - so if you want to watch it again, you'll need to go through this link to the official Olympic's YouTube channel.

In fact, the Olympics pretty much dominates the brand chart this week, with the Adidas Queen tribute featuring some Team GB stars strolling in at second on the list, with several other entries being from the games themselves, including the Spice Girls reuniting at the Closing Ceremony and the Men's 100m final as well appearing on there. Also the AMC Zombie video continues to climb high at Number 3, and the freaky Ice Cream video is also still a curio for many.

Topping the UCG Viral Chart this week is a video that is sure to bring a grin to most viewer's face, with the very hairy Steve Kardynal dancing around his bedroom while wearing a number of colourful two piece swimsuits, singing along to Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jespen. Some of the reactions are fantastic - ranging from appalled to overly excited. The video has garnered 15,767,081 views in total, with 57,187 shares on Twitter and 822,400 on Facebook. It's well worth a watch.
