Beyoncé/ Destiny’s Child being #3 is a choice though 

Lol no. She's literally the best out there right now. Though it's not fair to include DC that's arguably pulling her score down.

Happy Gaga is so high, but it’s insane that Kylie Minogue is not on this list when she should be in the top 10.

The Beatles at 100 is a joke.

Also I think OK Go should be higher.

Freddie Mercury and Prince I get but since when are Aretha and The Beatles music video artists? 

Oh I misread the headline as just 'Greatest Music Artists' not 'Greatest Music Video artists' , my bad

'Of all time' is a lot of people

Fun fact: Die Another Day was more expensive than both of these videos, making it the 2nd most expensive video made, after Scream by Michael and Janet.

Britney should’ve been higher, but other than that, I’m not mad at the list 

Spoiler

Bey is at #3 tho? 

[Thomas P 18,479]

The top 6 is flawless and about as correctly ordered as I could hope quite frankly

The Beatles literally invented the concept of music videos (which were only performance recording at first). That's not even a hyperbole

And that progressed into imagery for their more conceptual albuns like Sgt Peppers, tho they they innovative even with albuns like Help

So they def deserve better ranking than #100

Where’s Gaga’s Vanguard?  And I notice a JLo is no where to be found on this list, which just means that Billboard finds her Vanguard award just as ridiculous as I do.  (Especially since Gaga doesn’t have one yet) 

Madonna deserves number one. Gaga def deserves top 10 but I would have made her too 5. and Katy deserves WAY higher than wherever they put her down in the 70s. She’s been serving super creative visuals for years. That’s ridic too especially when you see they put Dua way above her on the strength of just a few videos, some of which are basic.  

Dua is relevant so no wonder they put her above

Sorry but that list is rubbish. I agree with the likes of Madonna, Beyoncé and of course Gaga. But artists like Marilyn Manson and Gwen Stefani should have been a LOT higher than many of the top 30 artists

It’s according to Billboard staff members so
