AP lists its top YouTube videos for 2006

The Associated Press has a good year end list: the top YouTube videos of 2006. It’s not a list of the “most watched” videos – it’s the videos and YouTube stars the AP believes had the most impact in one way or another. No surprises, but a good idea for a list. The AP’s choices: lonelygirl15, macaca, Michael Richards’s rant, YouTube owners giggle at Google buyout, OK Go’s “Here It Goes Again” (I think “A Million Ways to be Cruel” was more of a breakthrough), geriatric1927, Hollywood police beating suspect, Chinese Backstreet Boys, and funtwo’s rockin’ electric guitar version of Pachelbel’s Canon. (Wasn’t JerryC the originator of this?)
