Stars of screens big, small and laptop have united to create a mash-up of the most popular YouTube videos of 2014 — including the Ice Bucket Challenge and Nicki Minaj’s ‘Anaconda’.

The video, which is set to a soundtrack of a mash-up of popular YouTube tracks including Iggy Azalea’s ‘Fancy’, Pharrell Williams’ ‘Happy’ and Meghan Trainor’s ‘All About That Bass’. It is called ‘Turn Down For 2014’, and the beginning of the video is a reference to the start of the DJ Snake and Lil Jon song.

It also makes reference to popular memes on YouTube, including the Ice Bucket Challenge, popular songs like ‘Let It Go’ from Frozen and the video where strangers shared their first kiss on camera.

Many of those moments also feature in YouTube’s ‘top trending videos’ which it released, along with its chart of the most popular videos globally and in the UK, to run alongside its review of the year. The 'Mutant Giant Spider Dog' — a dog dressed as a spider that ran around terrifying inhabitants of a Polish town — also features in the video, and came first in YouTube's list.

YouTube stars — including games vlogger PewDiePie and the tiny hamster that eats burritos — are joined by TV stars including Jimmy Kimmel and John Oliver. A full list of participants is below.
