MUSIC VIDEO (PT 1)

The first ever music video to be released is believed to be 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by QUEEN (1975). On 1st August 1981 MTV was launched. The first music video to be played was "Video killed the radio star" by BUGGLES (followed by "You better run" by PAT BENETAR).

MTV allowed music videos to be played 24 hours a day. 7 days a week.

Today with websites like: youtube, vevo etc, more & more bands & artists use video to promote their music. Artists such as: MICHAEL JACKSON & MADONNA have made some of the most expensive music videos ever. (MICHAEL & JANET JACKSON- "Scream", MICHAEL JACKSON- "Black or White" , MADONNA- "Die Another Day" & "Express yourself")

Nowadays there are thousands of music videos around. However, for me there are a few that i remember when i first saw them:

The first video was in 1991, i was staying at my grandparents house, watching Top of the Pops, it was the premiere of: "Black or White"- MICHAEL JACKSON. As i was around 10 or 11, at the time i had never seen a music video like this before. (It wasn't until i was 15 that i was old enough to see "Thriller") .

In 1996 there used to be a music series called: THE BASE (ITV). I will never forget the time when they showed the video: "Windowlicker"- APHEX TWIN. I have to say it was the strangest video i had ever seen. The video was directed by CHRIS CUNNINGHAM (who is one of my favourite video directors).

A few years later (1999) CHRIS CUNNINGHAM directed another favourite video of mine. "All is full of love"- BJORK.

That is only 3 of my favourites. Yes there are more.

In part 2 we will look at more music videos

What are your favourite music videos? Why?

Until next time

GRANDE ARTIST?

ARIANA GRANDE is no stranger to the charts. Recently ARIANA managed to get the top 1, 2 & 3 spots on the billboard top 100 charts simultaneously. The last time this happened was in 1964 by THE BEATLES who got all 5 top spots. At the moment 11 songs from her album 'Thank you, Next' album are in the top 40. (The only song from the album that hasn't made the top 40 is 'Make up'). DRAKE nearly managed this when 2 of his songs were at spots 1 & 2 & 4 simultaneously. That is a great achievement for ARIANA Until Next Time Law OFFICIAL WEBSITE LW MUSIC SERVICES  (Mixing & Mastering) TWITTER FACEBOOK (Law) FACEBOOK  (LW Music Services) FACEBOOK (The Solar project) YOUTUBE
