Thought that VEVOs Top 10 Most Watched Music Videos of 2013 would be the same as YouTube? Guess again.
Our old friend PSY is still #1. The Korean pop star had the most watched video with "Gentleman," duplicated the same feat he had in 2012 with "Gangnam Style." Also appearing here, but not on VEVO's list, are Selena Gomez and Avicii.
What accounts for the differences? PSY "Gentleman" is easy, since it's not on VEVO. The others are likely due to how YouTube isn't involved in VEVO's distribution chain for mobile and connected devices like AppleTV, Xbox and Roku.
