1. Scream – Micheal Jackson & Janet Jackson $7m (1995)

My brother tweeted this video the other day, and it got me to thinking about how dominant and crazy the music business, or music companies used to be? … do you remember when they would premier Mike Jackson music videos on NETWORK TV? I guess it made sense when they were dropping this kind of coin on a 4 minute spot. It seems like the music business is still doing fine, but the music companies… ehh not so much – well anyways, the rest of the top 10 after the jump….

2. Die Another Day – Madonna $6.1m (2002)

3. Express Yourself – Madonna $5m+ (1989)

4. Bedtime Story – Madonna $5m+ (1995)

5. Estranged – Guns N’ Roses $4m (1993)

6. Victory – Puff Daddy $2.7m+ (1998)

7. 2 Legit 2 Quit – MC Hammer $2.5m+ (1991)

8. Heartbreaker – Mariah Carey ft. Jay Z $2.5m (1999)

9. What’s it Gonna Be – BUsta Rhymes ft. Janet Jackson $2.4m+ (1999)

10. Its All Coming Back to me Now – Celine Dion $2.3m+ (1996)

List according to wikipedia as of today… I don’t think these numbers will ever be touched again for a music video..
