Many of last weekend’s Super Bowl commercials are now into the tens of millions of views on YouTube. But only a few of them got significant views in January—among them, Mr. Clean and Budweiser, both of which appear below on Adweek and Google’s YouTube Ads Leaderboard for January, ranking the month’s most watched ads on the video platform.

Mr. Clean was good for No. 4 on the list, beaten by a spot for Clash Royale (made by Supercell, whose games regularly appear on this list) as well as two Apple ads.
