Facebook launched 360-degree videos in September.

The videos let the viewer interact with the screen to switch the angle of the camera as it plays. It makes for a really realistic experience that encourages you to revisit the video more than once.

On Tuesday, Facebook published a blog post listing the top 10 most-popular 360-degree videos so far. The company looked at a number of factors including views, likes, comments, and clicks to determine the list.

Facebook didn't rank the videos in order of popularity (it simply listed them alphabetically by the name of the video creator,) so we've decided to rank them from least interesting to most interesting, based purely on the ones we enjoyed the most.

10. Real Madrid showed stars including Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe, James Rodriguez, and Gareth Bale kicking a ball around on the training ground.
