these famous people sure had a good year
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
successful celebs of 2015 how can I take
my ponytail out yeah why not huh we’re
talking about all this stuff yeah let’s
take that damn ponytail out for this
list our only criteria for celebrities
is that they had to kick some major ass
in 2015
whether it was on YouTube in the
sporting arena at the box office on the
charts or in the realm of pop culture
number 10 pewdiepie how’s it going my
name is given that WatchMojo is one of
the world’s top 10 YouTube channels this
entry may seem like a shout-out to one
of our own but PewDiePie
is far more than just a crazy
personality you might feel a little
headache Bob but that’s normal
tomahawk chop and while some of your
friends may identify more with Jennifer
Lawrence or Justin Beiber Felix
Kjellberg is on the verge of innovating
the YouTube platform even further thanks
to the fact that the Walking Dead
creator Robert Kirkman has signed on to
produce a new series entitled scare
PewDiePie it’s gonna be me getting put
into live horror games the concept
itself may cause your mom or dad to
scratch their head but if the series
catches on it will mark the beginning of
a new era in online entertainment this
is my thank you to you bros for getting
to ten billion views on this channel
that’s a number that I would never in my
wildest dreams think we would reach
number 9 Adele hello it’s me oh hello
Adele it’s nice to see you again given
the massive success of the hello music
video you gotta give it to the British
singer as she not only upped the ante
with her October 2015 single release but
also enlisted one of the more
transgressive filmmakers of our time in
the Canadians F J Dilla a director who
released his debut feature at 20 years
of age
sure Adele didn’t even dropped the
singles parent album until late November
but that doesn’t really matter for our
list cuz 25 is already the most talked
about record in recent memory
number eight Amy Schumer tears oh truly
one of the breakout stars of 2015 this
comedian was originally a contestant on
NBC’s Last Comic Standing back in 2007
like I was the last one of my friends to
know it wasn’t cool to drink like a
homeless person anymore
oh and she’s also a relative of US
Senator Chuck Schumer while some of you
mojo holics may still be inside Amy
Schumer virgins which is certainly okay
most of you have probably seen her box
office hit trainwreck opposite Bill
Hader and LeBron James I would have to
ask you a question don’t hurt him she’s
a foul-mouthed minx with brilliant
comedic timing and her unique way of
approaching taboo subjects has made her
one of the most successful celebs of the
year I don’t understand you’re also cool
my believe me no one was more surprised
than me that they let me stay cool
throughout my 40s and the fact that it
continued into my 50s was just like
thanks but I thought that Us Weekly had
made some sort of a clerical errors
number seven break my image a couple of
weeks into February 2015
this man dropped a surprise mixtape and
made social media go what let’s be
honest there aren’t a whole lot of MCS
that inspire hashtags are we right or
are we right what it is Young Jeezy Meek
Mill we’re just saying oh and Drake even
dropped a joint with future this past
year where were you when not a dog’s
needed help
oh yes then it comes Syria go pay
yourself some of you don’t even know
what the hell we’re talking about but I
just believe us when we say it’s a great
time to be alive I know
of course
Drake is Canadian and WatchMojo loves
its own but when this man released
hotline bling even Donald Trump took
notice
number 6 Jimmy Fallon after the show is
to have to party then after the party is
the hotel in the past year intellectual
minds such as John Stewart and David
Letterman have walked away from their
late-night hosting gigs in light of all
of this
praise merited or not do me a favor
save a little for my funeral all right
okay while Jimmy Fallon may thrive on
sophomoric humor he certainly earned his
stripes during his first full year as
the Tonight Show host not everybody can
go viral on a nightly basis because not
everybody is capable of combining
genuine likability with a natural feel
for comedy Jimmy Fallon may not fit into
the category of traditional talk-show
hosts
but that’s what makes him perfect for
the job
[Music]
number five Donald Trump the tough guys
don’t talk like tough guys you need
smarts the tough guys a lot of the times
the tough guys they’re the weak ones I’m
tougher than all of them believe me some
of you may be literally puking in your
mouths at this very moment but that
doesn’t change the fact that Donald had
a huge 2015 many of the greats have
hosted as you know this show like me in
2004
the guy hosted Saturday Night Live he
made otherwise laughable debates worth
watching
seriously oh and the Donald might even
become the next president of the United
States seriously and we will make
America great again thank you thank you
very much hey we can’t vote but some of
you can and beyond the entertainment
factor of mr. Trump he does appear to
know what he’s doing
well maybe not but then again he might
just be a distraction until Hillary
Clinton rises up she was the worst
Secretary of State in the history of the
United States used to donate I mean you
gave a lot of money over because I was a
businessman
number four Floyd Mayweather Jr Floyd
Mayweather walks into the McDonald’s the
men ordered 8,000 chicken nuggets now
that’s a champion here’s a question for
you millions of mojo holics how did you
earn your dough in 2015 if you’re like
us you were probably hustling hustling
on a daily basis but if you’re like
Floyd Mayweather jr. Leach and none of
you are you made the majority of your
money on to Saturday nights in May and
September we say he’s tired of boxing
like this trust me great fighters great
athletes live for moments like this
to be fair big-money floyd has spent
years training and developing his brand
and it all paid off big when he earned
oh a few hundred million dollars for the
anticlimactic fight against Manny
Pacquiao who also managed to have quite
the year despite the embarrassing loss
[Music]
remember this casual boxing fans when
you pay to watch a defensive boxer
entertain you’re probably not gonna get
the knockout you wanted even so we made
Floyd even richard i know i want i
normally a better fighter
we fight ten times i’m a win tonight we
fight twenty tyler moore twenty time we
find out how to time
i’m win out of times number three tom
hardy it’s hard to believe that it’s
been five years since this man starred
as ames in Christopher Nolan’s
mind-blowing film Inception
and with all due respect to his 2015
roles in child 44 and legend it was Tom
Hardy’s modern take on Max Rockatansky
that cemented his status as a bankable
box-office star let’s say this movie
goers didn’t just like Mad Max fury road
they effing loved it
and while Hardy’s 2012 performance as
Bane in The Dark Knight Rises was
certainly legendary his Mad Max
performance was truly epic oh and he
closed out the year opposite Leonardo
DiCaprio in the revenant not a bad year
for mr. Hardy no one cared who I was
till I put on the Mars
number two Cristiano Ronaldo
[Applause]
not everybody can name the team this man
plays for Real Madrid and some may not
even realize his true nationality
Portuguese but everybody has likely
heard his name and seen his face so you
do wish sometimes that you could get up
and no one would recognize you
yes I wish I pay for that if it’s
possible that’s because Cristiano
Ronaldo has the looks and talent
necessary for international stardom and
with such Fame comes a big bank account
the footballer raked in approximately 80
million dollars alone in 2015 and
starred in his own self-titled
documentary a human solution film when
Queen Semiramis producer Moscow mascot
was from the moon
kiss it by given the collective
awesomeness of Cristiano it can be easy
to dislike him with a passion however he
does seem like a good guy
much like his rival from FC Barcelona
Leonel Messi who also had quite the year
despite that MCL tear in late September
so it’s good they have a good
relationship with him you play for one
club apply for another club you want the
best for him I want the best for me so
it’s not we have a good relationship you
know we don’t have we are not home
friends but you know we respect each
other that looks like a very good
relationship before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions
[Music]
mara when I’m done to be honest and I
put that down my mama and my baby boo
220-million walking at the car Betty
whoa whoa
number one Taylor Swift
we all know that Taylor Swift is and
will continue to be a mega pop star
however in 2015 she did more than just
collect her checks and live a life of
luxury
case in point she set an example for the
music industry by taking on Apple when
they refused to pay artists during a
three-month trial subscription google
can’t change it Microsoft can’t change
it customers can barely change it but
Taylor Swift puts one thing on tumblr
and boom Apple completely changes
policies that they spent months
negotiating it once Taylor spoke out the
policy changed the very next day which
shows just how much clout the young
artist has I think it was like a golden
angel swift molded the minds of young
talent on NBC’s The Voice and in 2015
she inspired millions of adoring fans
with her epic 1989 World Tour and while
we can appreciate the monster year that
Katy Perry had it was Taylor Swift who
set a higher standard for her fellow
musicians and stars in 2015
[Music]
