Like the rest of the world, Canadians fell down many a YouTube hole this year, and now the list of most-watched videos have been revealed.
 
Despite what people might say in public, Canadians very much do care about the Kardashians, as Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's tribute video to their newborn baby Stormi was the top trending video of the year.
 
Some music stars made the list as well, such as Paul McCartney's "Carpool Karaoke" segment in Liverpool, the Walmart yodelling kid and the first reveal of Cable from Deadpool 2.
 
There were also viral clips like YouTube couple Liza Koshy and David Dobrik's breakup announcement, the great "Laurel or Yanny" debate, and the Royal Wedding of Harry and Meghan to help round out the list of the highest trending clips.
 
Of course, there were also a number of music videos that received millions of views by Canadian eyes, including the chart-topping, star-studded Maroon 5 and Cardi B clip for "Girls Like You."
 
Drake's "God's Plan," Childish Gambino's "This Is America" and Ariana Grande's "No Tears Left to Cry" all made the list, but Cardi B proved most impressive, making three appearances in the Top 10 for the aforementioned "Girls Like You," as well as Bruno Mars' "Finesse" and her own "I Like It."
