Cartoon Heroes &#8211; $ 3,500,000<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you remember Aqua? The Danish-Norwegian pop band who became world famous for Barbie Girl? After the explosion of the single dedicated to the most famous doll in the world, Aqua came out with a video, sparing no expense! It is full of irony and special effects, in which they play heroes who save the Earth from space to the depths of the sea from futuristic monsters with a slightly vintage look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\" data-plyr-embed-id=\"Q_LPJllaogU\" data-plyr-provider=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Aqua - Cartoon Heroes\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q_LPJllaogU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-make-me-like-you-4-000-000\">6. Make Me Like You &#8211; $ 4,000,000<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This jewel of video Gwen Stefani gave us came out in 106 and was made as a long shot. Everything you see in the video happens in the song&#8217;s tempo. The effect is spectacular; it&#8217;s not easy to make such scenes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\" data-plyr-embed-id=\"0uljUDtv1Kw\" data-plyr-provider=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gwen Stefani - Make Me Like You\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0uljUDtv1Kw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-black-or-white-4-000-000\">6. Black Or White &#8211; $ 4,000,000<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This video marks the launch of Dangerous, Michael Jackson&#8217;s beautiful album. And since it is the King of Pop, there is no shortage of special effects and incredible situations. To raise the costs, also some futuristic (for the time) computer graphics effects and a cult scene in the final, in which Michael dances without music and then transforms into a black panther&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\" data-plyr-embed-id=\"pTFE8cirkdQ\" data-plyr-provider=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Michael Jackson - Black or White (Official Video)\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pTFE8cirkdQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-estranged-5-000-000\">5. Estranged &#8211; $ 5,000,000<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the height of their dazzling success, Guns N&#8217; Roses could afford anything artistically and promotionally. And so this song that lasts over 9 minutes gives us several piano solos, guitar solos, and incredible moments in the video. Action scenes alternate with live footage from the Olympiastadion in Munich, Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\" data-plyr-embed-id=\"dpmAY059TTY\" data-plyr-provider=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Guns N&#039; Roses - Estranged\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dpmAY059TTY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-bedtime-story-5-000-000\">3. Bedtime Story &#8211; $ 5,000,000<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The video draws inspiration from the surrealist period, in which Madonna appears in a mystical guise that recalls the great Frida Kahlo. The sets, Madonna&#8217;s looks, and special effects repeatedly follow each other in a hypnotic rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\" data-plyr-embed-id=\"CSaFgAwnRSc\" data-plyr-provider=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Madonna - Bedtime Story (Official Video) [HD]\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CSaFgAwnRSc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-express-yourself-5-000-000\">3. Express Yourself &#8211; $ 5,000,000<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An equally mythical video accompanies this mythical song by Madonna! Made in 1985 by the great David Fincher, it recalls atmospheres worthy of Metropolis, one of the most iconic films in history. The video was released in 1989 on MTV and remained exclusively for three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\" data-plyr-embed-id=\"GsVcUzP_O_8\" data-plyr-provider=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Madonna - Express Yourself (Official Video)\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GsVcUzP_O_8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-dye-another-day-6-100-000\">2. Dye Another Day &#8211; $ 6,100,000<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another spectacular video of Madonna! The Queen of Pop has always known how to immortalize her videos and songs. The song is the soundtrack to a film in the James Bond saga. It can only retrace its canons, giving us a spectacular video in which Madonna is at the center of various action scenes in which every detail has been perfected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\" data-plyr-embed-id=\"VlbaJA7aO9M\" data-plyr-provider=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Madonna - Die Another Day (Official Video)\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VlbaJA7aO9M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-scream-7-100-00\">1. Scream &#8211; $ 7,100,00<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scream was the launch single of Michael Jackson&#8217;s <em>HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I<\/em> album-collection, in which we also find his sister, and superstar, Janet. The video is a futuristic jewel in which modern and essential atmospheres, special effects, and many avant-garde scenographic solutions merge. It is no coincidence that a Michael Jackson video leads this ranking, given its artistic and commercial importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\" data-plyr-embed-id=\"0P4A1K4lXDo\" data-plyr-provider=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson - Scream (Official Video)\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0P4A1K4lXDo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before the birth of streaming services and the arrival of Social Media, the most influential record companies and artists used video clips as their primary marketing and artistic tool.
