Ad Age’s weekly chart ranks the top ten viral videos from last week. This week has two noteworthy new entries. An International Olympics Committee video with Michael Phelps debuts at number one with more than 1.5 million views. Rock band Weezer’s fittingly weird decision to promote their new album by parodying the infomercial-like campaign for Snuggies blankets pays off. It drew nearly a million viewers to enter the list at number three. A third debut on the list is Volvo’s TV ad tie-ins with the film Twilight Saga: New Moon, in at number eight with about 335,000 views.
After its long run Microsoft’s Natal video is no longer on the list, making this week s top ten completely void of any game-related content.
Ad Age’s chart includes number of views for the week and percentage change in views for videos that stayed on the chart. The list is compiled by Visible Measures.
