Deadlines/Brief

Music videos are so 80s/90s, right? They belong with the era when MTV screened wall-to-wall vids instead of 'reality' TV? Try telling that to the millions who bought Gangnam Style; were they really simply loving the music? 1.6bn (and still climbing) have viewed the video on YT, not to mention the many re-makes (school eg, eg2), viral ads + celeb link-ups (even political protest in Seoul) - and it doesn't matter how legit it is, this nightmare for daydream Beliebers is making a lot of money, even from the parodies + dislikes. All this for a simple dance track that wouldn't have sounded out of place in 1990 ... but had a fun vid. This meme itself was soon displaced by the Harlem Shake. Music vids even cause diseases it seems!
This blog explores every aspect of this most postmodern of media formats, including other print-based promo tools used by the industry, its fast-changing nature, + how fans/audiences create/interact.

March 2012 Top10 update

10 days in and exactly 1,000 views as of now - not bad!

No.1 currently is ... me!
Two Girls Aloud rough cuts in there ... and two Lonely Island edits, seem to be pulling in the fans quite steadily many months on. A 2011 AS prelim (seemingly down to SamB reminiscing on FB with hyperlinks!), the 2010 Britney, and a current AS rough cut (Sam/Dillon's) are also amongst the current Top10; I'll publish the final chart just before we break up for Easter!
