# [YouTube Rewind 2017, more Latin than ever](https://blog.another.co/en/blog/youtube-rewind-2017-more-latin-then-ever)

December is here, and with it is the big number of compilations, counts, and recounts to remember the best and the worst of this year. But from of all these activities, one of the most expected is YouTube Rewind, in which we remember the most watched videos of the year and their creators. Watch this year's version of ***"The Shape of 2017"*** here:

Did you notice something particularly different compared to those of previous years? This year YouTube Rewind became more Latin than ever and not just because of "Despacito" (which turned out to be the most watched music video of the year, setting the record of[ the most watched video of all times on YouTube](http://www.deia.com/2017/08/04/ocio-y-cultura/internet/despacito-el-video-mas-reproducido-en-la-historia-de-youtube-)), but also because of all the latin YouTubers that were on screens around the world, due to the fact that this year's Rewind has **about 300 creators, viral artists and musicians from almost 20 different countries**, the Latin presence has an unprecedented importance. The fact that Rio de Janeiro was the designated location to record this years’ rewind is not a coincidence, 50% of Latin creators are from Brazil.

In general terms, **2017 had a total participation of 32 Latin creators. 30% more than last year in** [*“The Ultimate 2016 Challenge”*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GuOjXYl5ew).

Three of the most influential figures in the digital area of Latin America stand out:

- [**Hola Soy German**](https://www.youtube.com/user/HolaSoyGerman)

**Country: **Chile   **Subscribers:** 32.7 millions

It's the YouTuber with the most followers in Latin America. He launched his brand "Hola Soy Germán" in 2011 with his first monologue called [“Las Cosas Obvias de la Vida”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mm_HRBXxU4) (The Obvious Things of Life). From there, in less than a year he managed to take the place of Werevertumorro (his Mexican counterpart).

 

- [**Yuya**](https://www.youtube.com/user/lady16makeup)

**Country:** Mexico   **Subscribers:** 19.9 millions

Mariand Castrejón, Yuya, is one of the most profitable YouTubers and gurus in the world. She was born in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and at 24 years old she is the Mexican with more subscribers, the second woman in the world, and the number one in Beauty and Lifestyle. She founded her channel in 2009 with feminine beauty videos, like tutorials. She has launched [books](https://www.planetadelibros.com.mx/libro-los-secretos-de-yuya/172129), [perfumes](http://pablolopez.org/2015/06/02/yuya-lanza-su-propio-perfume-true-junto-con-cyzone/), [champús](https://www.quien.com/belleza/2017/07/05/el-nuevo-shampoo-de-yuya-es-mas-de-lo-que-esperabamos) and [makeup](https://instyle.mx/belleza/beauty-trends/2017/10/05/yuya-revela-mayor-secreto-nueva-linea-maquillaje/).
