About Music Videos

What is a music video?
A music video is a video which accompanies both the music and lyrics to portray either a performance or a narrative. It can also be used to present a certain mood or feeling, whilst promoting the sales of the record to viewers.

What and when was the first music video launched?
The first music video that has been said to be launched first was a song performed by "Queen" named "The Bohemian Rhapsody" which was launched in 1975. However, the first ever music video to be played on MTV when first launched in 1981 was a song by "The Buggles" called "Video Killed the Radio Star."

About Micheal Jackson's successful song "Thriller."

Micheal Jackson released Thriller in 1983, on 2nd December. However, this was soon named "The most successful music video" in 2006, and won very many awards including a "Academy Award" "Guinness World Records" "National Film Registry" and many more including winning a "Grammy" for both the best video and the best video album. Furthurmore, Micheal Jackson also found himself winning 3 MTV awards ub 1984 for" Best Overall Performance in a video, Best Choreography and Viewer's Choice, and again in 1999 with a award for being within the region of 100 Greatest Music Videos of all Time.
The video outstood the rest in the time as the video itself had a running time of 14 minutes in total, and cost over a million to create.
