This inordinate amount of cuteness was uploaded on May 26 and racked up over 37 million views:

9. The Force: Volkswagon Commercial

 This ad came out during the Super Bowl, posted on February 2 and it's the ultimate in parents making their kids feel special without them knowing it.  It amassed over 45 million views:

 8.  Maria Aragon - Born This Way (Cover) By Lady Gaga

 This talented girl piggybacked on a popular Lady Gaga song and rode it over 45 million views beginning February 16..  It makes one wonder with all the legislation being thrown around in Congress if we'll see many of these in the future:

7.  The Creep (feat. Nicki Minaj & John Waters)

 This video from The Lonely Island, easily the top comedy/pop music group headlined by SNL's Andy Samberg, was released January 29 and went over 48 million views.  And it's not the only one in the Top 10:

2.  Ultimate Dog Tease
In this very simple video (I think with little or no effects), a dog's actions and mouth movements are used for dubbed dialogue where the owner teases him with delicious food descriptions.  Uploaded on May 1, this video grabbed 74 million views:

1.  Rebecca Black - Friday - Official Music Video
No video summed up ironic entertainment more than Rebecca Black's "Friday," which collected an astounding 167 million views before being taken off the site, then re-entered three months ago and hammering home another 12 million or so.  Not a good song, but catchy, and it led to uncountable spoofs and accidental singings in the shower:
