The year is ending and we begin to review the highlights of 2021 that, without a doubt, has been one of changing spirits. As far as multimedia consumption is concerned, YouTube has once again positioned itself as the preferred platform for millions of users to enjoy content of all kinds. And that is why we are going to share the 10 most viewed videos in Spain in recent months, with a list headed by none other than Ibai Llanos .
This data is not less if we take into account that YouTube is not the main platform of Ibai Llanos . The popular streamer uses Twitch as the most important way to interact with thousands of followers around the world; but he also has a channel on the Google service —with almost 7 and a half million followers— where he shares some special clips. From clippings of his live shows and reactions, to vlogs with real life situations.
Precisely, the most viewed YouTube video in Spain in 2021 is the tour that Ibai Llanos has taken through his new home. It was uploaded on January 29 and at the time of writing this article has 8,375,461 views global . Under the title MY NEW MANSION 2021 | HOUSE TOUR IBAI LLANOS, the video lasts just over 36 minutes and has been at the top of the list positions. It is worth clarifying that it has not been mentioned how many reproductions of the total correspond to Spanish users.
Therefore, some interesting aspects emerge from this question. On the one hand, it is not surprising that Ibai Llanos has the most viewed YouTube video in Spain throughout the year. In 2021 the streamer confirmed his place as one of the most popular content creators globally. And it is also striking that no other more recent publication on the same channel has surpassed the aforementioned house tour.
Take into account, for example, that Ibai also made global news for having dined at Lionel Messi's house on his farewell to Barcelona. And he was even able to interview the Argentine star exclusively when he became a French PSG reinforcement. The videos reflecting both situations were above 6 million total views each .
Not everything is Ibai Llanos in the video ranking most viewed in Spain
Although Ibai Llanos has been left with the most viewed YouTube video in Spain, the rest of the list presents several peculiarities. In fact, and as might be expected, the content is quite random . It is important to note, as we did a few paragraphs ago, that the Google platform has not specifically reported how many views each one has had in the country. We share them below:
# 2 – How to draw a couple walking in the rain / Red acrylic paint # 3 – THE RESISTANCE – Interview with Omar Montes # 4 – There is no one alive here – S5 Chapter 1: Once upon a time an extradition # 5 – RUBIUS PUNTUA VUESTROS SETUPS # 6 – Pablo Díaz wins 1,828,000 euros in 'El Rosco' from 'Pasapalabra' # 7 – MOMENTAZO – We put a face to Siri's voice in 'Your face sounds backwards to me' – The Anthill # 8 – Just put an egg in a tomato and you will be amazed! Breakfast Recipe No. 35 # 9 – The baby doesn't understand anything until the hearing aid is turned on # 10 – JOAQUIN AND LUIS LARA SHOW DE BERTIN JOKE DUEL
Gaming also had a great year on YouTube
As explained from YouTube, gaming has also had significant growth on the platform throughout the current year. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ibai Llanos also has one of the most viewed channels by focusing only on that content. Other creators of the business that have also grown in Spain are elxokas, Mikecrack, Invictor and Auron , among others.
But this is not all, as YouTube has also unveiled a new list called Breakout Creators. We are talking about the channels that have an annual growth that has exceeded 200% . Certainly, and according to the platform, it is a recognition of the creators “who have given everything” in the course of 2021. And to vary things a bit, Ibai Llanos does not appear on this list. The top 5 are made up of elxokas, MrBeast in Spanish, BENIJU, animaLize21 and MrDs4 .
And the music? In addition, in the music segment, the most viewed video in Spain in 2021 through YouTube was Flamenco y Bachata, by Daviles de Novelda . It was published on the platform in February and already has more than 42 million views globally .
The rest of the musical list follows the pattern of a good part of the rest of the Spanish-speaking countries, with a lot of reggaeton and Latin artists. Such is the case of Natti Natasha, J Balvin and Sebastián Yatra , just to mention a few.
And finally, YouTube has not forgotten those who have made the leap to Shorts . The short video alternative to compete with TikTok has been available in Spain for a few months, but there are already several content creators who have turned to it. Although it does not mention specific numbers, the platform recognizes the work of users such as Nachter, Inmagic, Sergio Jurado, Danny Fitt and Acenix Cortos , among others.
