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.

“Highway Don’t Care” returns to the top for a fourth week after being interrupted by Paul McCartney last week. It’s just so good!

1) “Highway Don’t Care”—I recently watched this video with my wife and teenage daughter and it was like a new experience. Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift, and Keith Urban put just the right touches on their parts to make the video and song bigger than the individual pieces!
2) “Jump Right In”—Once again the Zac Brown Band fill their video with plenty of things to keep the viewer engaged!
3) “Radioactive”—I thought I was getting over Imagine Dragons’ video, but I just saw it again this morning before I wrote this post and I still like it!
4) “Love Somebody”—Maroon 5’s visually stimulating video hangs in there!
5) “I Need Your Love”—Not a great video, but I really like the “8 bit” sounding synthesizer part!
6) “Remix (I Like The)”—Why do I continue to find this New Kids on the Block video to be interesting…and catchy? Because it is!
7) “Beat This Summer”—Brad Paisley may just have another monster video like his previous “Water!”
8) “Can’t Hold Us”—Macklemore & Lewis’ epic video has a lot of great stuff in it!
9) “UFO”—Joanie Leeds and The Nightlights put together a silly video about a real life experience. This should have been on last week’s list, but I forgot about it. I really love Joanie’s “crazy” facial expressions!
10) “#Beautiful”—It’s really difficult for me to drop this video when Mariah Carey sounds and looks so good!
