Fan-Made Music Video Becomes #1 on YouTube with 90M Views!

Yesterday, YouTube refreshed their leaderboards and a strange new video became the Most Viewed Video of All-Time, topping the world-famous Evolution of Dance video. With 89 million views, the new winner is a fan-made music video.In early 2007, a popular Italian music community called Qoob.tv announced a contest for the Brazilian band CSS, in which fans could remix green-screen footage created by the band to create their own video for their song "Alcohol." Instead, an Italian music blogger and photographer named Clarus Bartel remixed the "Alcohol" footage for a different song, Music Is My Hot Hot Sex, the song made famous by the iPod Touch ad. Since he uploaded the video to YouTube, it's accumulated a staggering 89 million views, at an average 265,500 views per day. It has added more views-per-day than any video but Britney's latest single.
