Spoiler:

#10 - "Electric Lady" - Janelle Monae
Yes, the song and glorious album may have come out last year, but if there's anything you can count on being delayed it's a good old music video. Featuring cameos from Estelle, T.I., Kimbra and guest artist Solange herself (post-elevatorgate), the video is a wonderful little college party without the beer-chugging rapists.

Spoiler:

#9 - "Red" - Hyuna
I feel we are not going to progress as a society until more music videos begin with a baboon's arse and an apple being punctured by a stiletto.

Spoiler:

#8 - "Turn Down For What" - DJ Snake & Lil' Jon
When a music video racks up hundreds of millions of views without being released by one of the twenty-odd biggest popstars in the world, then you know it's because it's spawning memes. The year's most obnoxious (and loveably so) anthem is only outdone in its audacity and ridiculousness by the thrusts of this poor cast.

Spoiler:

#7 - "Call You Out" - JUCE
The video to end all '90s nostalgia' videos. A lovely bit of choreography thrown in for good measure, too, in one of those "video within a video" moments last seen by Stardust's Music Sounds Better With You.

Spoiler:

#6 - "Queen" - Perfume Genius
Be honest - who hasn't wanted to don an oversized power suit and writhe all over a boardroom table whilst feeding the occupants giant shrimp?

Spoiler:

#5 - "On the Regular" - Shamir
Everyone calls the video a "wannabe 212". As though wanting to be the greatest song of the decade so far is a bad thing. This makes the list just for the neon bursts from Shamir's whipcracking.

Spoiler:

#4 - "Monument" - Royksopp & Robyn
Robyn can make a mullet look compelling.

Spoiler:

#3 - "Giant in my Heart" - Kiesza
Whilst Hideaway had the "one-take, one-camera" choreography in its favour and will obviously go down as her most memorable output, the second single from the Canadian goddess let a far more striking and moving frontwoman take the credit. Plus it's always worth reminding yourself of how far we have to yet to progress as a tolerant society (not that youtube comments are ever a good gauge).

Spoiler:

#2 - "Two Weeks" - FKA twigs
We are not strangers to loving a long, panning-out video, are we?

Spoiler:

#1 - "Chandelier" - Sia
Oh, like it was going to be anything else.
