VEVO have released the most-watched music videos of 2016 globally, and we can’t say any of these bangers have taken us by surprise. Although Justin Bieber was in the media for the right and wrong reasons this year, he managed to claim the number one spot with his hit, “Sorry”.
Adele’s “Hello” came in second and the unbelievably catchy Fifth Harmony track “Work From Home” took the third spot.
