It won't be new year in another 37 days or so, but the landscape of the year 2018 in the music space has pretty much taken shape.
Barring any last minute surprises or some magical big bang, the most viewed videos on YouTube as at November 14, 2018 are going to be just as they are now today as they will on December 31, 2018.
No doubt, one needs to keep an eye for a video like Wizkid's 'Fever', featuring Tiwa Savage as a vixen. The video has shown it has a tendency to misbehave as it did on its first day of release. No one saw it coming or how in the name of anything a Nigerian video could have a million views in one day!
As it stands, here are top 10 videos of 2018, first compiled by novice2star.com, verified and updated by Vanguard Weekend Appetiser.

As at November 14, 2018, both videos have to their credits, a whooping 27 million views. Some months back, Davido's Assurance was leading with a couple of millions but it seems the impetus created by the 'Fever' video of Wizkid has rubbed off on the 'Soco', which may soon have 'Assurance' gasping for breath.
