The 45th Country Music Association Awards are already over and in the invitation video the country superstar Carrie Underwood revealed her skin secrets. And so did another preside of the evening, Brad Paisley, in a bit uncommon way. The video is in the wild since 7th of November with and up till today with almost 3,7 million views. For more from ABC have a look at ABC’s YouTube channel and in case you missed it, you can follow the news and the results at CMA Facebook page, twitter or wait until next year’s .

2. Ned’s Journey To The Super Bowl

America’s most beloved football championship game, the NFL a.k.a. the Super Bowl isn’t until next year but the marketing house is already running. This isn’t strange since advertisers pay good money to be displayed at the spectacular event. Visa took this opportunity to display their ad that’s centered on a sweepstake that offers 11 free tickets for the next Super Bowl. Cardholder automatically enters the sweepstake by using Visa Cards. Morgan Freeman’s epic voice narrated the ad and that certainly shows in the number of views, more than a million in 6 days! Got money to spare? Buy the overly expensive Super Bowl ticket, or if you’re broke watch it on YouTube.

3. AT&T Blackberry Torch 4G “Responsibilities”

YouTube Preview Image

Always listen to the boss and here’s a good example: do more with the new BlackBerry Torch 4G – play a game, check-in on Fourquare, rock out to Pandore etc. This unexpected hit for Blackberry, (who’s video’s generally speaking do not generate the same amount of buzz) was due to the “huh guy”. Nate Dern the actor in question turned to Reddit, to share he’s finally appearing (after three years of auditioning) in a commercial uttering the line “huh”. Reddit spread his announcement which led to getting over 3,000 comments in 24 hours and to more than 750,000 views. If you want to see Nate Dern in his outstanding action, skip to 0:10.

OK folks, tune your speakers and sit back for Ducati. There are many ways to introduce your new product to the masses. But when we are talking about a high-end motorbike like the Superbike 1199 Panigale, we definitely expect a high-end video as well. With unbelievable high-speed camera footage and eyes (or knees) for detail, the motorbike producer set things straight here: this beauty deserves a brilliant introduction. The video is up since November 7th and already generated more than 360,000 views. That’s checkmate guys!

5. VW Golf – Herisson

On the 7th of November , Volkswagen  launched some new innovations in the cars. To promote this, they created a movie with hedgehogs. In the extended movie we see hedgehogs worshipping the VW brand. Why? With new technologies like the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC) VW cars are safer than ever. It seems not only hedgehogs like VW, the video featuring music from Danny Elfman got already more than 180,000 views in 3 days.
