Number 99 to 96 are all great, especially Paparazzi (also thanks to the handsome Alexander Skarsgård) and the super sexy Shakira / Rihanna duet.

I'm definitely gonna follow the countdown!

086. Nelly Furtado: Waiting for the Night (2013) - 10/20

[heppolo]

Kylie's "Your Disco Needs You" is probably her lowest budget music video ever, but I am glad she did it for the fans.

Big popgirlies rarely put truly exceptional music video, I expect at least one of classic Madonna's MVs in the countdown though

She delivered with the minimal resources, though.

I disagree on the bolded bit, but we'll see about Madge!

085. Twenty88: Out of Love (2016) - 10/20

Pleasure Principle - so iconic, maybe the most important and influential female dance video ever.

Wait, I didn't even know you were doing this countdown. I'll have to circle back to this, but seeing Bootylicious maes the cut albeit barely gives me so much joy you don't even know.

[vinnie65]

Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Will Young, Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Nelly Furtado, Kylie Minogue and 30 Seconds To Mars are my favorites

[heppolo]

in my opinion, (mainly british) electronic artists are usually the ones to make investments into some standout music videos regardless of whether we liked the tunes or not

[cheapthrills]

Pleased to see these in here:

• Lady Gaga: Paparazzi - Agree with the Alexander appearance being swoon-worthy
• 30 Seconds to Mars: Hurricane - I guess I'm in a mood because I'm appreciating the Jared Leto image here.
• Taylor Swift: Anti-Hero - Oh wow, a neophyte in the countdown; always here for that! I only wish the part in the funeral wouldn't totally break the song.
• Elle King: Ex's and Oh's - The men in this video are stunning. What are you doing to me, Akini?
• The Wanted: I Found You - Yes! I love this one by them. I wish they weren't a one-hit wonder here because this is such a good one.

It's clear some of these I need to watch so I can comment, so I will circle back. I refuse to fall behind

[Benny]

Wow, this countdown moves really fast!

'I'm a Slave 4 U', 'Lucky' and 'It's Not Right...' are all great videos!

I have some inkling! You do rave about that one quite a bit.

Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Will Young, Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Nelly Furtado, Kylie Minogue and 30 Seconds To Mars are my favorites

Glad you appreciate those, particularly the Nelly Furtado one, which is so underrated.

I feel differently about the "Anti-Hero" video; I wish the song actually included it!

Classic ones!

075. Bruno Mars: The Lazy Song (2010) - 10/20



074. High School Musical 3 Cast: A Night to Remember (2008) - 10/20



073. Lady Gaga: Poker Face (2008) - 10/20



072. Coldplay: Princess of China (feat. Rihanna) (2012) - 10/20



071. Taylor Swift: Look What You Made Me Do (2017) - 10/20

[heppolo]

What are some of your faves?

Off the top of my head I can name UNKLE's "Rabbit In Your Headlights" or "Be There", The Chemical Brothers MVs like "Believe" or the classic Fatboy Slim's "Weapon Of Choice" and Massive Attack's "Teardrop".
My relatively underrated picks are Faithless "We Come One" and Deep Dish's "Say Hello". The Avalanches' "Since I Left You"

Current electro music video excellence really shines through European acts like The Blaze, Stromae ones and this one (NSFW) by DATA is particularly remarkable.
