New Years is just around the corner, which means that the season for end-of-the-year roundups is upon us. We’ve decided to put together a list of our Top 10 ‘Top Video Lists’ of 2011, for all the Top 10 list lovers out there.

We’ve picked out the top 10 of these lists, based on popularity as well as how well they sum up the year’s video trends. Enjoy!
