The first video clips appeared in the 1920s simultaneously with sound cinema. However, the view in which the clips are familiar to modern viewers, they acquired in 1964 with the start of the broadcast of the Top of the Pops weekly parade on the popular BBC channel.

Today, video clips are available both on popular music channels and on the Internet. Artists spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on shooting to make a lasting impression on the viewer. The most expensive music videos in history entered our top ten.

10. Busta Rhymes feat Janet Jackson - single “What’s It Gonna Be” ($ 2,400 thousand)

The clip was released in March 1999. Most of the money was spent on special effects, as the entire video is full of various reincarnations of artists, each of which costs a little more than $ 30 thousand.

9. Mariah Carey - “Heartbreaker” ($ 2,500 thousand)

The clip featuring Jay-Z was shot in a movie theater, one rental of which cost $ 100 thousand. About $ 13 thousand was spent on the services of hairdressers and makeup artists, $ 80 thousand was paid for computer graphics.

8. MC Hammer - the failed video “Too Legit to Quit” ($ 2,500 thousand)

7. Puff Daddy - “Victory” ($ 2,700 thousand)

Among the invited stars lit up Danny de Vito, as well as Dennis Hopper. About $ 55 thousand was spent on an airplane explosion, $ 10 thousand - on artificial rain, $ 21 thousand - on a helicopter rental.

6. Guns N ’Roses -“ Estranged ”($ 4,000)

5. Michael Jackson - single “Black or White” ($ 4,000)

The soundtrack to the eponymous part of the bondiana was written by Madonna herself in collaboration with the shocking Mirvais Ahmadzai.
