Both of Michael Jackson's lead singles, "The Girl is Mine" and "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" had no videos, oddly. Plus, you can add "Off The Wall," "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," "Human Nature," "P.Y.T," "Another Part of Me" (unless you count Captain EO) and "Butterflies."

"Butterflies" wasn't even released as a commercial single, right?

"Butterflies" wasn't even released as a commercial single, right? True, though it did manage a No. 14 Hot 100 peak and spent 5 weeks @ No. 2 on R&B. It did receive both 12" and CD single promos.

Backstreet boys - The One (couldve been bigger with a legit video WITH synchronized choreography IMO) The One did have a video (and it was 'legit' - i.e., official). Now, whether the video was great or not is something for another thread. I think you picked a poor example to represent mid-late 90s videos. I think the late 90s had some memorable videos like Baby, One More Time (changed a whole generation of young men and their affinity for school girl outfits, including myself :) ), Mo Money, Mo Problems (the space-like suits on Ma$e and Puff Daddy), and TLC's Waterfalls (OK, technically mid-90s, but quite the story portrayed in that song/video). I also thought the MB20 videos were well done, and I enjoyed other more alternative rock-oriented videos (DMB, Foo Fighters). I wasn't a Korn fan, but their video for Freak on a Leash was certainly very unique and an interesting switch between anime and 'real life' and the whole speeding bullet concept. I don't think anyone has come close to having a video like that. On the female singer/songwriter side, I thought that Paula Cole's videos were always imaginative, as were Natalie Merchant's and even Sarah McLachlan. I guess you could consider them 'boring' - I considered them appropriate for their respective songs. Now, if your sole source of videos then was TRL - OK, I could see why you might think the videos were not that great or original. And, if I have to compare the 90s videos to iconic videos like Thriller, then sure, they are on a different level. But I think overall there were some great music videos out in the 1990s that people should consider.

"Amanda" by Boston was a #1 without a music video when everybody had videos during the '80's!

I've been annoyed this year with UOENO by Rocko not getting a music video.

SPRΞΞ, I think the discussion is about tracks that were hits and never had videos during their chart run.

Cheap Thrills. Does the "performance edit" count as the official music video? Lol at the lyric video becoming the more successful one though
Avril Lavigne's "Keep Holding On" doesn't have a video. It's at ~1.6 million sales (in the US), Top 3 on HAC, #17 on the BBH100. And this was before the streaming era/digital era peak. It's actually her third biggest digital song (I just looked this up lol)
When We Were Young by Adele has a live version, but no official one.
I wouldn't be surprised if more people stopped making music videos, or at least refrained from uploading them onto YouTube. One Dance was HUGE on streaming due to the fact it had no VEVO video. I guess in some ways, some artists need music videos to boost their song's popularity, especially if they're more teen-oriented, but I'm pretty sure YouTube/VEVO is the biggest sales killer. Even more than Spotify, and labels make a lot more money off Spotify than YouTube.

Back in the day, it wasn't uncommon to hit the top 10 (Hot 100 or airplay) without a video- i.e. Madonna ("Holiday," "Angel," "Keep it Together," "Hanky Panky," "Rescue Me"), Janet Jackson ("State of the World"), Whitney Houston ("Love Will Save the Day"), Cher ("Just Like Jesse James"), etc. etc. At times, when a video wasn't shot, a live video or montage was used (i.e. "Angel" and "Dress You Up") "Get Lucky" has done amazing things without a video. Also Causing a Commotion -a live performance was used as the video back home.

Didn't Can't Feel My Face by The Weeknd hit #1 before it even dropped the video? If that's true I think that's worth mention.

It doesn't matter whether it counts on the charts, but if you've noticed the rate of growth YouTube music videos have in the past few years, it's pretty obvious that a lot of people actually use YouTube just for music and listen to content by clicking the videos. Spotify, no doubt, is a sales killer as well, but I'm pretty sure over 1 billion people use YouTube regularly as opposed to Spotify's ~90 million. For example, in let's say 2012, the biggest song of the year wasn't even coming close to 1 billion views, let alone 1 billion views in a year, yet plenty of more recent hits have crossed that threshold now.

Soon music services will catch up to youtube etc in the US so they both will equally cut into sales.

Don't Tell Em finally got a music video just as the song was winding down its chart run. Oui, on the other hand, still has no video.
