Market Research - Channel 4's 100 Greatest Music Videos 100-80

As part of our market research, we've watched a host of music videos from a documentary on Channel 4 where they let their viewers pick their 100 greatest music videos of all time which were as followed;

80. Radiohead: Just
81.Ultravox: Vienna
82. 50 Cent: In Da Club

This video was clever as 50 Cent used it to highlight his sexual appeal by appearing mainly shirtless in the video. He also used to highlight his party lifestyle with the video constantly switching behind a medical centre where 50 Cent was being tested by a doctor and from him being in a club partying.
83.Shakespear's Sister: Stay
84.The Boomtown Rats: I Don't Like Mondays
85.Sid Vicious: My Way
86.The Streets: Fit But You Know It
87. Talking Heads: Once in a Lifetime
88. Elton John: I Want Love
89. Smashing Pumpkins: Tonight Tonight
90. The Pet Shop Boys: Go West
91. The Specials: Ghost Town
92. Herbie Hancock: Rockit
93. The Rolling Stones: We Love You
94. Bonnie Tyler: Total Eclipse of the Heart
95. The Cardigans: My Favourite Game
96. So Solid Crew: 21 Seconds

This video is clever as So Solid Crew is a band with several members and this video was their first music video meaning they had to make an impact. All the members had 21 seconds to make their introduction by dancing and putting their own mark on the video. This made the song and the video popular and introduced the band well into the music industry.
97. Cornershop: Brimful of Asha
98. Bronski Beat: Smalltown Boy
99. Supergrass: Pumping on Your Stereo
100. Musical Youth: Pass the Dutchie
