I am kind of bored so I thought I would go through all the videos we have had so far this year, I know that a couple of months had lock down videos but even some of them are very inventive. I feel video is getting a bit lost as a medium, we always used to talk about great videos we have seen and without The Chart Show or a decent MTV alternative, YouTube is all we have.
First up here are my 3 favourite videos for January. Yes they are all great records but all the videos are eye catching, clever, and in some ways innovative
January
3rd Place
Declan McKenna - Beautiful Faces
You can tell they did this on a small budget but still have some great special effects and its just such a fun video to watch.
Runner Up
Tame Impala - Lost in Yesterday
I just love a great one shot video, they must take so long to get right
Winner
Hayley Williams - Simmer
And no it's not because Hayley is naked although that's no bad thing !! Its just spooky, atmospheric, eye catching, creepy, just sucks you in 100%

February
3rd place
Strokes - At The Door
I still think the song is a complete what??!! but I am a sucker for an animated video, its just completely batsh*t!!
Runner up
Harry Styles - Falling
Maybe not the sort of song I normally listen to but this video is so moody and eye catching and again I love a good flooding. Harry really is the new Elton.
Winner
Sports Team - Here's The Thing
This was nailed in as my top video for February, so much passion and performance, reminds me of Pulp in their heyday. Its simple but so effective! And they didn't even know what was coming....

March
3rd place
PVRIS - Deadweight
There has been a long line of front seat videos and this is another great one
Runner Up
The Weeknd - In Your Eyes
Also great to see superstars still puting effort into their videos, this video is a bit wrong but so good!
Winner
Dream Wife - Sports
The song gets a bit annoying but it's a brilliant video

April
As we enter lockdown its animated and homemade vids nearly all the way
3rd place
YUNGBLUD - Weird
This to me will be the song that will always remind me of 2020, the best lockdown song of the year. The video is still very good under the circumstances. Yungblud why are you not the biggest star in the Uk yet!!
Runner up
A Day To Remember - Mindreader
The best song yet by the band and a great animated video which tells a story and is just very well done.
Winner
twenty one pilots - Level of Concern (Official Video)
Yes another lcokdown song but its just a brilliant message and it shows you musicians wont let anything like solitude stop them making music, as he plays every instrument and makes the video with a bit of help from his family. Again another song which is so 2020
