Australia did its part for the global monoculture in 2016.
The Down Towntop 10 videos watched by the nation during the year were heavily American and heavily banal. The list, announced by YouTube Wednesday, was dominated by The Late Late Show with James Corden's infamous "Carpool Karaoke" segment.
Corden's clip with Adele topped the list overall, but Aussies could not get enough of the late night host belting tunes with Jennifer Lopez, Sia and First Lady Michelle Obama as well. Yeah, Sia is Australian, but barely.

So, points for effort?
All together, the world watched Australia's top trending videos close to 1 billion times.
