Highest income on YT ? Anastasia Radzinskaya is an unlikely media star. Born in southern Russia with cerebral palsy, her doctors feared she would never be able to speak. To document her development through treatments, her parents posted videos of her on YouTube so friends and relatives could see the progress. The videos are typical kid stuff: playdates with dad, jumping around on an inflatable castle and playing with her cat, each video accompanied by catchy jingles and voice-over giggles. She soon gained followers around the world. Her biggest hit was a 2018 trip to the petting zoo with her father Yuri that featured the two dancing to child favorite “Baby Shark,” milking a pretend cow and eating ice cream. That video has garnered 767 million views, the top draw for a growing media business that has funneled $18 million to the Radzinskayas between June 1, 2018, and June 1, 2019.

Seth Rogen stars as a reporter who ends up crossing paths again with his former babysitter, played by Charlize Theron. Big twist? She’s also Secretary of State. But the impossible set up proves to be a charming enough entry with the help of its cast. Rogen and Theron make up for more than a few structural issues in this otherwise hilarious comedy. The Beach Bum should have just been terrible, and yet, it is the absolute perfect comedic vehicle for Matthew McConaughey. While the actor has been making more dramatic turns lately, The Beach Bum has him playing the slightly scruffy, rough around the edges stoner bro that’s always prepped and ready for a drink on the beach. It’s not his greatest film, but if any movie has captured McConaughey’s aesthetic, it’s this one.

Charlie Bit Me: In May of 2007, a British father uploaded a clip of his two young sons, Harry, age 3, and Charlie, age 1. In the video, a teething Charlie bites his brother’s finger, causing Harry to cry. Maybe it’s the adorable British accent, or maybe it’s the devilish but cherubic smile Charlie gives after chomping down on Harry’s finger, but the clip is undeniably cute and funny. The clip quickly went viral and became one of the Top 25 Viral Kid Videos ever uploaded. With more than 850 million views, it remains one of the most watched videos on all of YouTube that is not a professional music video. The boys’ internet fame brought real-life fame as well. Thanks to their father’s continued uploads on their own channel, the family could afford to buy a larger house thanks to sales of “Charlie Bit My Finger” t-shirts, mugs, calendars, and more.

Best clip for a song in 2019 ? AJ Tracey might have been a touch worried about his mainstream prospects: the first single from his album only reached No 18 in the charts, and he was upstaged on one of his biggest tracks to date, Thiago Silva, by the bucket-hatted Alex going viral with AJ’s verse on stage with Dave at Glastonbury. Luckily, he had Ladbroke Grove up his sleeve. This shamelessly nostalgic UK garage track dominated the summer, AJ toasting like a club MC being heckled with champagne. No street corner was left unmolested by the words “Yo, it’s the hyperman set!” blasting from a hatchback’s open windows.
