Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘Call Me Maybe’ was Australia’s most streamed music video this year
Carly Rae Jepsen and One Direction have had the two most streamed music videos in Australia this year, according to MCM Media, which operates Australia’s biggest online video network.
Guy Sebastian was the only Australian in a top ten list – for Battle Scars featuring Lupe Fiasco.
Psy’s Gangnam Style video broke YouTube records, but it is not part of the VEVO network on YouTube, so doesn’t feature in the list.
The top ten streamed music videos in Australia, from January to November:
- Call Me Maybe Carly Rae Jepsen (8,271,592)
- One Thing One Direction (7,041,859)
- What Makes You Beautiful One Direction (5,448,511)
- Boyfriend Justin Bieber (2,976,135)
- Mirror ft. Bruno Mars Lil Wayne (2,870,009)
- Battle Scars Feat. Lupe Fiasco Guy Sebastian (2,840,536)
- Live While We’re Young One Direction (2,793,619)
- We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together Taylor Swift (2,555,727)
- Earthquake ft. Tinie Tempah Labrinth (2,403,868)
- Beauty and a Beat ft. Nicki Minaj Justin Bieber (2,319,402)
The data was compiled from MCM Media’s Digital Entertainment Network, which consists of 57 music entertainment sites including VEVO, VEVOYouTube, Take 40 Australia, The Hot Hits, and ARIA Charts.
Call Me Maybe was the ‘most streamed music video of the year’ while ‘Psy’s Gangnam Style video broke YouTube records, but it is not part of the VEVO network on YouTube, so doesn’t feature in the list’. Yeah, great. Nice one, MCM.

why is psy not licenced to vevo – isn’t it part of their label and publishing deals they have? bizarro

So basically this list is a load of poop. That’s like saying Canterbury won the premiership because Melbourne is in another state..

Another notable omission appears to be Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know”. Like Psy, he’s not on VEVO either. Disappointing list.
