YouTube's top 10 music videos of all time might be the most painful playlist ever

Gold star to whoever can get through the whole lot.

Just in case you weren't feeling old today - YouTube just turned 20 years old. 

The first ever clip, called 'Me at the zoo' was uploaded by a fella called Jawed Karim, one of the creators of the site, on April 23rd 2005. 

Over the next two decades, YouTube became a breeding ground for cultural phenomena, spawned a new brand of Internet celebrity - the vlogger - and launched countless musical careers. 

These days, there's a YouTube community for all kinds of weird and wonderful shit, whether you're into funny animals, fails or literally watching paint dry. 

Since YouTube has hit the big 2-0, lists of the biggest videos on the site have been floating around, and the top 10 most-viewed music videos might just make your ears bleed. 

Seeing songs like 'Gangnam Style' and  'Crazy Frog' with over 5 billion views is enough to make you question the existence of humanity, but throw a bit of Ed Sheeran and Maroon 5 in there and you're looking at a collection of songs you wouldn't play on repeat for your worst enemy. 

So without further ado, here it is. Anyone who could get through listening to the whole thing truly is deserving of some kind of medal.
