Our rundown of this year's Gummy Awards results continues! Close watchers of yesterday's Top 20 Tracks reveal will be interested to learn that 60% of these selections also appeared on yesterday's list, though the #1 Best Video isn't on your top Top Tracks list, and vice versa. Interesting! (And a note to aforementioned Close Watchers who find this "Interesting!": We salute your nerdiness and love for stats.) One more stat for you, then: As a medium, music videos tend to reward singular, charismatic focal points, so it's little surprise that this year's list is 70% full of solo artists -- charismatic and singular to the letter.
Now that we have our numbers crunched, press play once more on your Top 10 Videos of 2012:
