JAKARTA - The YouTube video service shares data on the most popular videos throughout 2021. The data is divided into several video topics. Eating events (mukbang) to local music videos are among the contents watched by many Indonesians this year.

"In 2021, the top trending videos, content and channels that attract the interest of the Indonesian people will mostly have the same quality, which is to present a different, authentic, and spontaneous experience," YouTube said in a statement, quoted from ANTARA, Thursday, December 16. In the field of music, YouTube sees Indonesian musicians and creators continue to win the hearts of Indonesia and the pandemic has not stopped them from collaborating and creating. For example, Tulus' virtual collaboration with Erwin Gutawa to Denny Caknan's two songs - Satru (ft Happy Asmara) and Angel (ft Cak Peril), became one of the top trending music videos on YouTube this year.

Not only the variety of videos, YouTube assesses the growth of Indonesian content creators as well. "We've seen tremendous achievements in Indonesia. If one thing's for sure, Indonesia is full of growth and talent," said YouTube.

Previously, Google also released the most search data throughout 2021. In the music category, a row of songs performed by local musicians such as "Widodari" by Denny Caknan and Guyon Waton, "CHRISYE" by Diskoria and Eva Celia, to songs by foreign musicians such as "Butter" from BTS also colors the most trending searches on Google Indonesia.
