After re-searching I have come across a couple of different websites that are specifically aimed to show music news, reviews and has a dedicated section to music charts and videos.

On the following link Nme Website it shows the top 100 greatest music videos of all time.

Below our my top five favourite music videos of all time.

1. Rihanna- We found love

Why is this my favourite video? I think that this music video is very edgy and was not a safe move from Rihanna. Involved in this video is a lot of explicit scenes involving drug, alcohol, and sexual content which I believe was risky to release to the public. Throughout the whole video, the action captures my attention and amuses me for the whole 4.36 minutes that is playing for.

2. Beyonce- Single ladies

The reason to why this would be my second top video is due to the Beyonce exquisite dance routine throughout the whole of this video. I also loved the fact that there was a great audience response to Beyonce's hit single in which many of the public made their own versions of the song. Above is an example that members of the public imitated Beyonce dance routine.

3. Macklemore- Thrift shop

I love how random this video is and how mad the artist comes across. It is very much performance based and I like that the lyrics directly relate to the actual image on the screen. I also like the fact that even though Macklemore sings the song in the video it isnt all about him. There are other factors and things we focus on for example the many people in the background and even his clothing is outrageous. 

4. Justin Timberlake- Senorita

As well as loving Justin Timberlake I also really enjoy his music video,  it grabs my attention the whole way through. I believe that towards the end of the song when Justin asks the audience (ladies and guys) to join in with him singing it makes us as the viewers really get ourselves involved in the video.

5. Lady Gaga ft Beyonce- Telephone

This is one of my favourite music videos due to how controversial it is as well as its format and its style of a movie. Another reason to why I really like this video is due to the use of colour throughout as the video is very bright and uses many different colours which really captures the eye and is aesthetically pleasing.

Rihanna-You da one

Lastly I would like to mention another one of my favourite videos which is You Da One by Rihanna mainly due to its brilliant editing and filming. I think this video is good mainly due to the black and white effect which has been carefully styled with the items and clothing to make the video bright. Also throughout the clip we see Rihanna in the background with lots of different styled text poping up on the screen infront of her which is very modern and trendy.
