Neither the music video nor the Spanish-subbed version are in the country’s Top 10 list, which is dominated by videos from Latin urban music artists. Leading the pack is “Te Pintaron Pajaritos” by reggaeton duo Yandar & Yostin (featuring Andy Rivera).

YouTube consolidated the data of all Arab countries instead of making a list for each nation. The music video of “Gangnam Style” is absent in this region’s Trending Videos of 2012, while the Saudi and Egyptian parody videos are at #4 and #7 respectively. Topping the list this year is the music video of “Zahgana” by 9-year-old Bahraini pop star Hala al Turk.

7. Russia

Unlike in other countries, it isn’t a local music video that deprive “Gangnam Style” of Russia’s Most Trending Video of 2012 title. Instead, it is an episode of the animated series “Masha and the Bear” titled “The Big Wash” that keeps PSY’s hit song settled at #2.
