We could guess as to a number of reasons for this specific video's success. I'll argue that a big part of it was the song choice; I know a lot of people that just watched the video over and over again because the song was really good.

Turns out that the Robonauts found a sleeper hit. While their reveal video came out in Feburary, 'Can't Hold Us' peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May.

While not everyone is going to find a #1 hit months before it peaks on the charts, having good music is a critical part to a successful video.

I liked it better than the actual music video.
