Pretty good list. Adele, Bruno and Katy had a great year with the top 3 videos and 2 videos each in the top 15.

I wish the peopel who make these type of lists would understand that videos =/= song.

Well, I'm glad they chose Hold it against me and Criminal her two best videos from the FF era...

I wanna go didn't do that great on the vh1 top 20 thing I think.

Criminal did really well on their countdown.

I'm glad that HIAM actually made it and was #16; however, I was annoyed by the "comedians" they had commenting on the video.

They completely missed the point but whatever
It's obvious that HIAM is about her career from start to finish and playing on the song...would they hold against her
1) Meteoric and instant Impact
2) preparation
3) Media obsession/endorsements/publicity w#ore
4) Mega stardom
5) Famous relationships
6) Lipping
7) Overexposure
8) Internal Fight/struggle
9) The fall from grace
10) Destroying the legacy/Downfall
11) Seeing the light and picking yourself back up
12) The comeback...


Not about making a video of being shot into a photo shoot and then finding a guy to get laid. Zlist comedians are the worst


But yes, Superbass is way too low but I forget how it did on their countdown chart.

Surprised lady gaga and Ceelo are not higher

Taylor Swift should of been on the list!

[slamina]

The number of memorable music videos Taylor has released year = 0. So it's not surprising she's no where to be found on here.

Every time you do this you make me laugh hysterically. You're the funniest guy ever.

[Deleted]

Maybe she'd be on the list if he used more exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!

[when the pawn...]

Foo Fighters put out a good album but I don't understand their place in the top 5. It seems like Foster The People or Mumford & Sons would've been a more fitting top rock placement.
