YouTube Canada Reveals the top videos of 2017

From a sea lion that got a bit too frisky to a toddler stealing popcorn from Prince Harry - we watched it all

It鈥檚 that time again, to jump into the way-back machine for #YouTube Rewind - YouTube鈥檚 annual look back at the year that was.

This year Canadians headed to YouTube to gasp at a sea lion who got a bit too frisky, to giggle as a toddler stole popcorn from Prince Harry, and to fall in love with falling in love.

The country also gathered around screens to watch as April the Giraffe gave birth to her baby, Tajiri, live in front of an audience of 1.2 million, setting a new record for the most popular livestream on YouTube.

And, we all held our breath as we watched a super Canadian standoff as a moose and a wolf squared off in a Northern Ontario lake.

From Eminem鈥檚 blistering political cypher at the BET Awards to some perfectly executed ping pong trick shots, these were the moments that had us watching, clicking and sharing.

Canada鈥檚 Top Trending Videos of 2017 were;

2017 also saw some major new records broken in music, most notably by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee鈥檚 massive global hit.

Despacito sits at the top of 2017鈥檚 top music video list 鈥 not just as the most-viewed music video for year, but as the most viewed YouTube video of all time with 4.4 billion views.

Justin Bieber set new records this year - his remix of Despacito, along with his appearance on DJ Khaled鈥檚 I鈥檓 The One mean that the Biebs can now lay claim to 4 videos that have broken the one billion view threshold.

Taylor Swift鈥檚 Look What You Made Me Do set the all-time record for most views in the first 24 hours, earning 43.2 million views in its first day.

Among the top ten debuts in YouTube history, seven were released in 2017.
