Top Evergreen Videos Sponsored by G FUEL

The "Evergreen Score" measures a video's staying power on YouTube. In a nutshell, the Evergreen Score shows how much a video continues to get views after it was published.

We believe that an Evergreen Score range of 0.5-1 is outstanding. Our algorithm compares how many views a video received in the first 30 days after publication compared to the views it received from day 30 to 180. For a video that receives an Evergreen Score over 1, it actually means that after 30 days, it managed to get more views than it did in the first 30 days.

G FUEL has sponsored a number of videos which have reached evergreen status.
