Samsung India tops YouTube's most watched ads of 2017
YouTube has revealed its ten most-watched ads of 2017, unveiling some surprise winners.
Mr Clean, Budweiser and Kia
Three Super Bowl ads make the list showing that at least for some brands, the pricey media buy was not a waste. These include efforts from Mr Clean, Budweiser and Kia.
Mobile title Clash Royale moved up from fifth in 2016 to second, boasting 110.7 million. Rival Mobile Strike (featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger) completely drops out of the list from first. Views varies from 17.6 million views to the heights of 150.3 million for a Samsung support ad from India.
To qualify for the list, the videos must have been processed from YouTube ads as paid viewers. The viewing figures will be composed of organic and paid audiences.
