Can you guys believe we’re at the end of another week in music videos? It seems like just last week that we were talking about last week’s videos, and now, here we are, talking about this week’s videos. What a time to be alive! Shakira and Anthony Mandler decided they weren’t fucking around this week, as they basically managed to get the same video in both the #1 and #5 spots on the list with “Dare (La La La)” and the song’s Spanish language counterpart, “La La La.” The #2 most popular video of the week is Sia’s fantastic “Chandelier,” starring the unbelievably talented Maddie Ziegler, from Lifetime’s reality TV show Dance Moms.

This week’s list also features Usher dancing, kissing, and drumming his way through the Christopher Sims-directed “Good Kisser,” and Sara Bareilles singing, smiling, and hugging her way through other people’s wedding proposals. After a label goof resulted in a false start, Lana del Rey’s highly anticipated “West Coast” music video was finally released this week, landing at #4 on the list with nearly 2 million views. Eif Rivera and 50 Cent round out the top 10 with their weekly appearance, this time for “Irregular Heartbeat” ft. Jadakiss and Kidd Kidd.

Still itching for more music videos? Then maybe head over to this playlist of the top 25 videos of the week, or even over to this podcast where we talked to the director duo BRTHR about the week in videos. Last one to Applebee’s is a rotten Applebee’s!
