Earlier this week, Youtube announced the top 10 most popular music videos in Ireland this year.
I went back to them and asked what were the most popular music videos by Irish artists in 2020 and here is the list.
Dermot Kennedy and Niall Horan dominate, while Irish Women In Harmony has a good showing at number 2. Meanwhile country singer Marty Mone’s song about tractors and harvesting is at number 6.
The data is based on in-country views of official music videos uploaded in 2020. Source: Google data, Jan 1 – Nov 15, 2020.
