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.

1) “Pontoon”—I would still like to slide off the back of Little Big Town’s “Pontoon!”
2) “She’s So Mean”—Will Matchbox 20 be the ones to finally put an end to Little Big Town’s royal reign…………………………………
3) “Lovin’ You Is Fun”—Easton Corbin looks like he’s finally catching on! I like that because this video will keep summer around for a while!
4) “Stars”—Grace Potter & The Nocturnals seem to be in the right place at the right time—moving up when the other videos are getting worn out!
5) “50 Ways to Say Goodbye”—Yeah, Train is finally starting to lose interest to me………..
6) “That’s Why I Pray”—I really wish I knew how sincere Big & Rich are about their song, because I think it’s really good, but they have based their careers on being partiers and buffoons………
7) “One More Night”—It might be “one more week” for Adam Levine & Maroon 5…………..
8) “Everybody Talks”—I have to admit that I didn’t think I would ever put Neon Trees’ video on my faves list. It was kind of creepy while the song sounds happy. But I also knew that I would have a different opinion if it were out around Halloween—especially since it was a homage to campy sci-fi monster movies. I just didn’t think it would hang around long enough to make it to October. Well it did, and naturally, took the top spot on VH1 this week. Being used in a major commercial helped it along as it took many months to climb up the list. Way to stick it out, Neon Trees!
9) “Guess Who’s Knockin’”—Ryan Bingham did a blistering performance of this blues song centered around an incredible guitar riff on Jay Leno’s show! My monitor is still smoking!
10) “Some Nights”—fun. makes it through another week…………….. QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
