“Chandelier,” for example, premiered online in early May 2014. In less than three

Maddie Ziegler, had garnered more than 90 million views.

classic music videos. NME introduced the website along with a countdown of the
100 best examples of the art form’s potential. The top 10 videos included a number
of familiar clips, such as “Sabotage” by the Beastie Boys at No. 8 and the Spike
Jonze-directed “Buddy Holly” by Weezer at No. 7.
