• According to Metro the most watched Music
Video’s in the pop genre are:

• Singles Ladies- Beyoncé
• Thriller- Michael Jackson
• Girlfriend- Avril Lavigne
• Bleeding Love- Leona Lewis
3. SINGLE LADIES- BEYONCÉ
From watching Beyoncé's Music video for single Ladies. I feel as if I can see
why it would be one of the most watched music video’s. The lyrics highlight
the modern representation of women for being independent and being
able to be happy and single. This could be very influential for teenage
girls/women going through a break up or being single. However she also
comes across as a traditional representation of women with the
provocative outfit, making her seen like a sex object which is also high
lighted by the seductive choreography. This would be make her music
video very popular with men as it does have a sexual tone to it but also
with the gay men as the choreography and dance routine would be quite
easy to imitate.
4. WRECKING BALL- MILEY CYRUS
Wrecking Ball was the most watched music video within 24
hours, After watching the video you can really tell why it
was so watched so quickly relating to the two step flow.
When someone see’s it and then tells someone about it
and then they see it and then tell someone else about it
etc.. The reason why the music video was so popular to
watch within 24 hours was because of the controversy it
caused for Miley being Naked.
5. THRILLER- MICHAEL JACKSON
Thriller- Michael Jackson was one of the most watched and
influential music videos in the time it came out. After
watching the video I was shocked how long the video is (14
mins) when most videos are normally around the 5 minute
mark. The reason why it was so watched was because the
narrative was the key element. It was so original It felt more
like a film trailer rather than a music video it took at least 5
minutes for the song to even start and there was a lot of
dialogue.
