The ad, created by Anomaly, was shared 1.62 million times following last weekend's Super Bowl battle between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos.

As well as being viewed more than 44 million times on YouTube, the ad was aired just under 1,300 times on US TV, according to figures from TV monitoring company Civolution.

The ad knocks last week's chart-topper from Omaze, the charity and cause-supporting web platform, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, into fifth place. The Omaze ad was shared 168,701 times this week compared with 264,733 times the week before.

GoPro, the camera brand, has entered the viral chart again this week, with a video promoting its role in the Red Bull Stratos jump by Felix Baumgartner in 2012.

The ad, created in-house, follows in a string of viral successes for the brand, including a video of a fireman rescuing a kitten from the wreckage of a building that has burned down. The ad in this week's chart was shared 329,640 times.

Elsewhere, Super Bowl ads for Bud Light, Coca-Cola, Audi, Jaguar, Kia and Cheerios also feature in the chart. No Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics ads made the listing.

The chart, ranks ads on YouTube by the number of shares across Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere. Ads older than 30 days are not included.
