It’s the end of the day on Friday, y’all! That means it’s time to put on a pair of comfortable shoes, let your hair down, and head over to Applebee’s for happy hour. But first, you gotta get your weekly taste of popular music videos. You should start with the most popular music video of the week, “Don't” by Ed Sheeran – a fun and funky video directed by Emil Nava. Now that you’re in a good mood, it’s time to scare the shit out of you with “The Negative One” by Slipknot, a dark and unsettling video directed by Shawn Crahan and Darren Craig. Coming in at number three is “We Are Ninjas” by Pentatonix, which comes at us thanks to the new Ninja Turtles movie, which is pretty cool I guess. We keep the party going with The Script and Skrillex who round out the top five with some pretty sweet vidz.

Over 600k people tuned in to watch Ricardo Arjona’s classic performance video, while Azealia Banks and Banda El Recodo De Cruz Lizárraga ended the week with over half a million views. Thom Glunt’s “Heart Made Up On You” by R5 and Shane Drake’s “Small Town Throwdown” by Brantley Gilbert also had some pretty sweet weeks, showing up on the list just in time for you to finish your second round of margaritas.

Making your trip to Applebee’s an all-nighter? Then you’re gonna need a few more music videos. Luckily, we’ve got this playlist of the top 25 music videos of the week that should take you through the end of the night. Just make sure to call a cab when you're done.
