YouTube Rewind is a video series produced and created by YouTube and Portal A Interactive. These videos are an overview and recap of each year's viral videos, events, memes, and music. Each year, the number of YouTube celebrities featured in the video, as well as the presentation of the series, have increased. The latest episode of YouTube Rewind was released on December 8 2016.
The first Rewind was created by YouTube in 2010 and featured a Top 10 list of the most popular YouTube videos for that year. In 2011, YouTube had started to create and produce Rewind videos with the help of Seedwell and Portal A Interactive. From 2011 onward, the YouTube Rewind videos have only been uploaded to the YouTube Spotlight channel, with additional "behind-the-scenes" content.
On 12–13 December 2010, the first YouTube Rewind was uploaded, titled "2010 YouTube Rewind: Year in Review". It featured the top 10 most popular videos on YouTube for the preceding year. It was uploaded on two channels: YouTube Trends on the first day, and YouTube Spotlight on the second.
On 20 December 2011, "YouTube Rewind 2011" was uploaded. It was created and produced by YouTube and Portal A Intercreated, and features Rebecca Black as the host. Her music video Friday had become a viral video in late 2010. Like last year, it featured another top 10 most popular videos on YouTube for the year.
In 2012, YouTube's Rewind videos changed to featuring several popular YouTubers; the most popular music, videos, mashup, and videos; breaking news; and internet memes from the year. In 2013, the Rewind Button/logo was created.
On 18 December 2012, "2012 Rewind YouTube Style 2012", referencing Gangnam Style, was uploaded to YouTube Spotlight. It was created and produced by YouTube and Seedwill.
On 11 December 2013, "YouTube Rewind: What Does 2013 Say?", referencing What Does the Fox Say?, was uploaded to YouTube Spotlight. It was created and produced by YouTube and Portal A Interactive. This was the first year that the YouTube Rewind Button was used; otherwise, it was very similar in style to the 2012 video. DJ Earworm mashed up six songs from the year. Jimmy Fallon and The Roots from The Tonight Show, made guest appearances.
