Top 13 Most Viral Videos of 2022

The Internet and social media are amazing resources. Here, even the most ordinary video can unexpectedly go viral or even create a new trend. 2022 was no exception, although it turned out to be quite difficult. We decided to collect the top most popular videos on the Internet this year.

Since it is YouTube and TikTok that specialize in video, then, of course, they are the ones who set the trends. On Instagram and Twitter, videos are also gaining views, but they are usually downloaded from YouTube and TikTok.

Let's start with the videos that seem to have received an incredible amount of views. In addition, they created such a stir around themselves that every person at least once saw him somewhere or heard musical accompaniment.

Let's say the singer Rosalia just blew up TikTok not only with the song, but also with her killer look. Thousands of users recorded their own videos to her music, and she posted on her page how to properly “watch” this song. This video of hers alone has 159,2 million views.

People are usually divided into 2 types: some like Netflix and others don't. But that hasn't stopped the Riverdale stars from going viral. The video, in which Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes and Madeline Petsch dance, has gained almost 140 million views.

@blondebrunetteredhead does this turn you on? #fyp ♬ Jiggle Jiggle - Duke & Jones & Louis Theroux

Caution, further immune bomb! That's the only way to describe the video, with an incredible 227,6 million views. On it, a small squirrel climbs out to eat nuts. This is probably the cutest video of all time.

@chipmunksoftiktok Thank you God my little Squishy is back from hibernation, fill the cheeks my sweet baby #fyp #welcome back #cuteanimals #cute #chipmunks #squishy ♬ original sound — Chipmunks of TikTok

This guy has gone viral everywhere. He is known by YouTubers and TikTok fans alike. Few people can boast of such popularity. In total, he collected more than 100 million views. It seems that his popularity does not plan to decrease. Do you love corn?

Next, we will tell you about videos that received a little less views, but their success was so overwhelming that they created global trends - people shared their recordings, filmed duets with the original, and remade the trend to suit their life situations. In short, these videos have taken over social networks with little effort.

So, at the end of the year, Wednesday Adams from the Netflix series “Wednesday” unexpectedly broke into the trends with her unusual dance. At the same time, although the original sound gained about 50 million views, the musical accompaniment superimposed on the dance simply blew up all the trends. People filmed not only duets, they did cosplays, repeated the dance and so on countless times. What kind of music do you like more?

This Ukrainian woman captivated everyone with her videos. She mostly does makeup and videos of herself singing. But how she does it all is breathtaking. And although she has more popular videos in terms of views, this has become the subject of many discussions, duets with the author and attempts to convict Valeria of cheating.

And here he is - “daddy”, who is engaged in dirty deeds. The song went viral even before its official release, and videos made to the sound have amassed a whopping 3,6 billion views.

@samsmith UNHOLY at @Capital ♬ Unholy - Sam Smith & Kim Petras

You must have heard somewhere: a negroni sbagliato with prosecco in it. That beautiful British style and the way the phrase is said also spawned a trend. People began to substitute their situations for this sound, while others began to prepare such a cocktail at home.

Even Jimmy Fallon got the guest of the program drunk with this popular drink on social networks.

Well, well, well, so we got to YouTube. This platform is now less likely to set trends and has less influence than before, but this did not stop some videos from still going viral in the past year.

Perhaps the most talked about and most shared this year was the video of Will Smith chirping Chris Rock right at the Oscars. We are very lucky that The Guardian captured all this beautifully and published it on their channel. Do you still remember this incident?

Another incredible video with over 200 million views. It seems like nothing out of the ordinary, just someone trying to crack an egg underwater, but how mesmerizing.

There is one more category of videos that are worth mentioning. These are posts that received a lot of views, but, unfortunately, did not go viral - few people shared them, they did not turn into a trend. But this does not in any way negate the fact that the authors did their best and they deserve to be mentioned in the top.

And the first such video is not just any ordinary one - it is the leader in the ratings for views on TikTok. Would you like to eat a giraffe like this?

Of course, how can such a list pass without mentioning Queen Elizabeth II? And, if this year, she can be called the “queen of social networks”, at least not for long, but the closest thing to the title of a viral video was how the royal guard lost consciousness at her funeral.

And, as they say, last but not least. This is perhaps one of the saddest videos, and not only this year. On it, the blogger's father is forced to tell the audience that his son died of cancer. The video has amassed 89 million views, which is pretty high for YouTube, even though it's not entertainment content.

If we forgot or missed a viral video, be sure to tell us about it in the comments. We hope next year there will be even more funny videos that can please us.
