Hyundai tops a Super Bowl-heavy list of YouTube’s most popular ads from February

Nine of February’s top 10 YouTube ads were Super Bowl spots, with Hyundai ranking No. 1.

The automotive brand’s “A Better Super Bowl,” a live video featuring US military personnel that aired in the first commercial break immediately following the game, generated 26 million views for the month.

The only non-Super-Bowl ad in the top 10 list was The New York Times “The Truth Is Hard” commercial that edged in at No. 10.

Of the nine Super Bowl spots that made last month’s ad leaderboard, seven of them ranked in YouTube’s top 10 Super Bowl ads released the day after the game: Hyundai, Budweiser, Kia, Mr. Clean, T-Mobile, Audi and 84 Lumber.

Honda and Nintendo’s Super Bowl spots didn’t win enough views to make the first list, but both earned enough popularity throughout the duration of February to rank No. 8 and No. 9 by the end of the month.

Netflix, Tide and Bud Light (which ranked No. 2 the day after the Super Bowl) made YouTube’s top 10 Super Bowl ads list but lost their momentum during the month and failed to make the February ad leaderboard.
