YouTube's 10 Most-Watched Ads for Feb 2013: Super Bowl Dominates

YouTubes 10 Most Watched Ads for Feb 2013: Super Bowl Dominates

It will come as a surprise to absolutely no one that ads created specifically for the Super Bowl take the majority share of the top 10 most watched for February 2013. However, the promotional video for the PS4 easily took the lead with an impressive 26.2 Million views since it's upload on the 20th February. Elsewhere, Chevy claim 2 spots with two different versions of the same ad, and heavyweight brands Pepsi and Oreo also grab two of the listings. And of course, there's an inclusion of the mandatory Harlem Shake video.

To be included in the chart, videos must be marked as ads on YouTube (paid views) but must also attract a considerable number of organic views. Here's the list:

1: Playstation 4 (26,296,340 Views)
