With 23.9 million views, Samsung Galaxy’s “Growing Up” ad owned more than a third of the 66.7 million views generated by the top 10 ads on YouTube in November.

Last month’s most popular ads accounted for 82.4 million minutes of watch time on YouTube. Not only did Samsung take more than a third of the total views earned by November’s most-watched ads, its lead was substantial over the No. 2 spot — Audi’s “Parking Lot” ad, which received 7.3 million views.

Three brands — Apple, GEICO and Nintendo — had two ads each that ranked in the top 10, but even the combined views for each brand’s two ranking spots didn’t compete with Samsung’s No. 1 ad. GEICO’s two ads generated a combined 8.3 million views, and Nintendo’s two ranking spots earned a total of 7.3 million views.

Apple came the closest with a combined 10.4 million views but still didn’t get half the views Samsung received.

Three holiday spots made it into November’s top 10 ad leaderboard: Audi’s “Parking Lot,” which is part of the carmaker’s holiday campaign, Apple’s “Holiday — Sway” spot and Macy’s 2017 holiday commercial, “The Perfect Gift Brings People Together.”
