This will be a personal weekly Top Ten list of what I consider to be the best videos currently available on TV. I don’t, as a rule, go searching for old music videos, so that’s why it will focus mostly on current or recent videos. For this category, I am also going to include any live performances on talk or variety shows that I see during the week.

Little Big Town beat the odds and returns to the top of my faves list for a third time and for the ninth week! I had “Pontoon” at the top for the first time way back on June 10, 2012! I can’t believe that it’s still around to become #1 three and 1/2 months later! That could only mean one thing:There really aren’t that many good videos out there right now. Since some old favorites disappeared, I decided to give a little love to a few lesser videos that I have ignored. I’m not trying to be nice. It’s just the product that’s out there right now…………….

1) “Pontoon”—I am not proud to admit that I still watch Little Big Town’s video every time it comes on! Welcome back to the top!
2) “50 Ways to Say Goodbye”—I guess Train is really going to stick around for awhile. Right now, they haven’t overstayed their welcome!
3) “She’s So Mean”—But not mean enough to keep Matchbox 20 from moving up higher!
4) “One More Night”—Alright. I still like Adam Levine and Maroon 5’s video, but that awful nonsense line (“Ooo-woo-pooo-poo-poo-pooh”…ad infinitum), the second worst ever written—right behind “Moves Like Jagger’s,” nonsense line, is really getting to me now………..
5) “Lovin’ You Is Fun”—Not much movement for Easton Corbin, but things may change…………
6) “Stars”—I’m not sure if I’m really that sold on Grace Potter & The Nocturnal’s new video, but I liked the song the first time I heard it!
7) “That’s Why I Pray”—Big & Rich’s video keeps returning to the list because every time I see it, the song rings true and speaks to me!
8) “Time Is Love”—Josh Turner’s song is growing on me, but the video for it is a pedestrian one……………
9) “Some Nights”—A strange little Civil War-type reenactment from fun.. Apparently, these guys like to film fights (“We Are Young”) and do it in a big way………
10 “Come Over”—Kenny Chesney hangs out for another week…………….. QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
