Video hosting site YouTube has released a list of its Top 10 most popular lyric videos of all time at the No.1 and No.2 positions are both held by DJ Avicii.

His offerings for 'Wake Me Up' and 'Hey Brother' came in at the top spot and in second place respectively, and both had over 137,000,000 hits. Maroon 5's lyric video for 'Payphone' finished in third place, Adele's Bond theme, 'Skyfall', is at No.4, and Christina Perri's 'A Thousand Years', which was featured in one of the 'Twilight' movies, is at 5.
