December. Time for budgets, statistics, numbers. With 2017 at the gates, rankings and trends are flooding. And the world of the web certainly does not spare itself questions such as the one relating to the most viewed videos on YouTube in Italy in the last year.

It is not a country for old people

If you want to feel old, open YouTube and take a quick look at the many youtubers who exceed 500 thousand subscriptions to their channel. They are almost always very young, in their twenties or even younger. Many are talented, others have simply found the right formula to make themselves known and followed. Never before has there been a real exploit like this year, with young people like Favij and Greta Menchi among the most followed.
Returning to the videos the most clicked in this 2016 (among the non-musical ones) is that of Scottecs with his Pen Pineapple Apple Pen (PPAP). Awarded with the Gold Play Button, PPAP is an Italian parody of Piko Taro's famous smash.


Always very popular The Jackal, talented Neapolitan youtubers. Their video, 30 years, was among the most clicked in the last 12 months. Great success also for their series The effects of Gomorrah on people.
Checco Zalone and his spot in favor of SMA research was instead awarded as the most creative video of 2016.

The power of YouTube

In America it has already been happening for several years, and now even in Italy YouTube is becoming the preferred way to stay informed or entertain. TV is slowly giving way to the largest video sharing platform on the planet, especially among young people. Free and customizable, the world of YouTube counts billions of views every day and is the favorite showcase for all artists. Music videos are in fact among the most clicked on every day. Just think of Alvaro Soler and his Sofia, the most clicked music video in 2016. Its success is also due to over 250 million views in less than a year.
