When a music video is made, one variable is whether or not the people making it know if a song is going to be popular or not. Some videos are made for songs that are already extremely popular, or…
Like last week, there werent many music videos released this week. However, there were still some pretty awesome stuff in the handful that did come out. Like butts, bras, and bearded models in Ke$has directorial debut Dirty Love, released at midnight…
After a 2013 promotion blitz that saw, among other things, an interactive video and a 30 minute post-SNL music film, it seemed only fitting that Arcade Fire's last video release of the year would be a beautiful narrative and concept…

Over the holiday break I heard a lot about Justin Bieber, and none of it was particularly good press. He had a film opening on Christmas Day that didn't do as well as some had expected, and everyone thought he…
By now, we all know about the dick/fuck face that leaked Mileys Adore You video a day early. Despite that, homegirl still came in at over 10.5 million views since 10am on Thursday, which is completely insane. The next most…

In Over It, the new video from The Crystal Method ft. Dia Frampton, Dia finds herself as the only modestly dressed contestant on a cooking show where looks and eye fucking are rewarded higher than cooking skills. Directed by Zak…

Perhaps you heard about Beyoncé's album and music video release from last week? It was released at midnight on Thursday and people understandably went nuts since nobody knew it was going to happen. And so now we've got a sweet…

The video for Hey Brother by Avicii, directed by Jesse S, is a story about two brothers during the Vietnam War era in the US. The older of the two brothers, played by Zach Voss, appears to be just old…

One of the many services we provide here at IMVDb is telling you when someone who doesn't usually participate in music videos is in a music video. Trust us, if you want to impress people at a party, nothing does…
