True fact: Korn was SO successful on TRL that they never even fell to the #10 spot on the show until “Make Me Bad”; they truly were in a class of dominance comparable to N*Sync and BSB in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. They even charted successfully up until “Untouchables”! Hard to imagine now, but it happened - and actually happened often.
Yeah, looking back and realizing that KoRn and Limp Bizkit were playing to the same rooms and largely same audiences as Backstreet and N'Sync...that's just fucking bizarre.
AFI's Love Like Winter also reached #1 on TRL in 2006, amidst artists such as Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Pink and Christina Aguilera. Granted, that particular song is not really rock and the Hot Topic emo fad was at its zenith, but it was still kind of surreal seeing AFI, of all bands, take the top spot.
Not only is TRL gone, so is the music video. Music videos used to be an absolutely massive promotional tool, but now they're just as vestigial as CDs or iTunes. Some music videos break through because they end up becoming a meme, but Lady Gaga was the last artist whose music video releases were an actual event. And the reason, like everything else, is Spotify.
Don’t forget that Korn also had the first video retired from TRL (voted in 65 times) with “Got The Life.” A lot of us may have outgrew them and I don’t know how many of the newer generation like them, but they were a force to be reckoned with back in the day. Hard to find anybody that didn’t think “Freak on a Leash” was a badass video.
I still love them. I've loved them since Blind came out and will continue loving them for the rest of my life. They were part of the soundtrack to my teenage years, so they have a special place in my heart.
Sum 41 being on TRL at #1 was awesome.I also agree with Linkin Park's Minutes To Midnight being underrated and not getting enough credit.Fantastic video as always.Keep it up.
I remember skimming through channels when I was 9 and stumbling across the music video for What I’ve Done by Linkin Park and I absolutely loved the band and got more into Linkin Park. Good memories.
Really surprising to me that neither “In the end” nor “Numb” were number ones for the band on TRL, as huge as those songs were. Guess I should be thankful that that network was still playing music vids at all in between the reality and game shows.
Man, all these bands and songs were and still are banging! Most of these are my favorite tracks by each band. I’m, also, surprised how Adam’s Song got to #1 on TRL rather than any of their other music videos, like All the Small Things and What’s My Age Again, especially.
Anyone remember when they did the whole "Korn Across America" or whatever it was called? They did like a massive promotion for Follow the Leader and it was wild seeing them on MTV like that. I had been listening to Korn for years but they never got big mainstream attention, then all of a sudden they were EVERYWHERE. The 90s were a crazy time for music.
My mom hated TRL because she didn't like Boy Bands. Then when I was a young kid, my mom saw the Korn spot and listened to it. If only she knew that some years later, I would develop an obsession with Korn as a pre-teen. She probably wouldn't have let me listen to that section since she is convinced that hearing that in TRL made their music stick in my mind even for a decade later. But my mom should've figured I wouldn't love U2 like she did, when I got kicked out of my Preschool Catholic School Class. Because I was singing the chorus to Girls Girls Girls from Motley Crue. But she's accepted it so far.
“Dance, Dance” - Fall Out Boy will always be my favorite TRL number one. 🖤 Panic!’s “I Write Sins, Not Tragedies” would be another one, but according to Wikipedia, it never hit number one on TRL? That’s crazy, because it won Video of the Year at the VMAs in 2006. Unless I overlooked it on the list.
I remember Sum 41's Fat Lip hitting #1 multiple times whenever it ebbed away to a pop song and then flowed back when Fat Lip was a novelty again. Those were the days
That last part is too true. It’s sad how music videos aren’t massive in artistry anymore. I have a playlist full of artists that had some good music videos. Evanescence, Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, a few pop artists from those eras, etc. Those music videos inspired my stories and directions for imaginary music videos I made for certain bands I like. It’s a shame how lackluster the format has become.
European bands like Feuerschwanz, Electric Callboy, Nanowar of Steel and many other steel make very high production cool music videos. So do some of the metal bands like architects, spirtibox, lorna shore to name a few
It's crazy to me that In the End or Faint didn't make number 1 those were all over the radio when I was growing up. M2M is underrated I agree though! Miss you Chester!
My buddy and I would get together a few times a week to get baked and watch daytime TV. TRL was one of our faves, and it really did have a fair amount of rock both on the list and in the studio. Probably the last bastion of music on MTV.
fun fact: when All Downhill From Here's music video premiered on TRL, it was tied to a now lost episode where the hosts interviewed cartoon characters from shows like The Powerpuff Girls, Fairly Oddparents and Family Guy. Only the Fairly Oddparents segment is avaiable due to it being used as a DVD extra
Yep, which also explains why they hyped it up and got it to number 1. I knew the PPG interview is lost, but the FG one also being lost as well surprised me.
I was so glad for the Rules segment because it eliminated three of the five bands that popped in my head from the title: Limp Bizkit, Good Charlotte and Simple Plan (Korn and MCR were the other two).
I remember when Nine Inch Nails came out with "We're In This Together" back in 99. I went out of my way to watch TRL to see where the video ranked. It never made it on the show. Taught me a serious lesson in just how far from the norm my taste is music was.
Those early 2000s for rock was special while still not getting a lot of mainstream respect, I do miss hard rock and metal music videos getting played on tv. Fuse Uranium, HBO Zone, MtvX. While most of those channels didn't last they was a window into music that wasn't always shown.
Being a 90's kid and 2000s teen, it wasnt unusual to like alternative/heavy music and be "trendy". My playlists (or mixtapes at the time) were featuring Korn, Linkin Park, 50 cent AND Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. I wouldnt claim to be into heavy music at the time, but I was up on Korn, Blink 182 and Linkin Park. Now I've expanded my taste in heavy music past what's trendy. But in the 90's, popular music included Rock, Hip hop and Dance music. That definitely ended in the 2000s for rock music. I cant think of the last time I've seen a heavy band be mainstream like they were in the TRL days.
"Erika" As a Gen Z, your comment shows me that I should have been born in 1985 so I can have my teenage years from 1998-2003 as most of my favorite songs come from those years. Don't know why people treat this as the worst era ever in mainstream music
Below before I even watched the video, the first song that I thought of was miss murder by AFI. TRL actually had a thing where when it was number 1 for Is so long that it got retired from the countdown
Here in AUS the TRL equivalent was a show called ‘By Demand’ on Channel V. I swear Freak on a Leach was number 1 for months. If not it was defs the longest consecutive number 1.
Adam’s Song by Blink-182 and Fat Lip by Sum-41 are no brainers they are instant classics after the first chords in both songs. Adam’s Song it was also cool how Blink-182 could be the party animals making fart jokes and singing about having sex with Grandpa. The tone it all down to really be serious about a topics like Suicide in Adam’s Song or (I know this was a couple years down the road) Divorce in Stay Together For The Kids.
Actually I looked up the TRL Number Ones to see what other rock bands reached #1, other good ones that weren't mentioned that I found were Move Along by The All American Rejects and Dani California by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
In Canada we had Musique Plus and Much Music. Both followed MTV’s path and no longer exists. Like MTV, these channels were good in the 1980{s and the 1990’s. I miss that era.
wasn't there a video countdown show before TRL? it where "Smells like Teen Spirit was on top for WEEKS" I used to record the show on VHS to watch the music videos back.
I fell out of TRL by about the early 2000s so anything after 2000 is totally foreign to me, since MTV in my area as a channel were starting to push Sweet 16, The Real World and whatever Bret Michaels and Lil Wayne wanted to do in reality television. So, seeing TRL was a rarity at that turn. I do remember having rooting for any bands that could at least crack the Top 3 because normally 1 and 2 was a given for pop artists around that time. It was pleasant to have finally seen Korn get 1 for once and a few times.
I remember seeing the Wake Me Up When September Ends video the day it premiered in summer '05. I was 13 years old, about to go into 8th grade, and Green Day were probably the best band in the world to me at that time. I remember it having a big impact in me, it sat with me for the rest of the day. My family was on vacation at that time, and I remember the video hovering over my mind during a sunny August day at a waterpark.
Basically all my favorite bands are in this video. Green Day, Linkin Park, A7x, Korn, Sum 41, and Blink could quite possibly be my top 6 bands. We are just missing The Offspring, Sevendust, Papa Roach, and Falling In Reverse to round out my top 10.
I'm not saying AV7 is the best band here, but I find them making it to #1 more impressive than the other bands. It's not only a rock song, but it's kind of a song for guitar nerds too. Nobody of their era was playing guitar solos at the time, like, at all.
I had a dream the other evening that i was at a Linkin Park concert. I have never been to a Linkin Park concert, i wish i had been. It was the greatest gift my brain has given me.
This is all news to me. During this era of MTV, I was only watching MTV2. It was where all the good shit was happening and where all the old shit that was good came back. Then they screwed it up and turned it into MTV 1.5 🤦♂💀
TIL that Linkin Park's "What I've Done" had a different music video in America. In Britain I always thought that MV was very underwhelming compared to their others, now I finally know why.
Warms my heart seeing punk green day blink numetal linkin park korn and metalcore a7x 2 of my favorites with a7x and lp korn which i still pike alot and blink and green 2 of my better liked punk
I LOVED when Tom Greens "Bum Bum Song" got to number 1 on TRL and shocked the world... Until his employer (MTV) forced him to "retire" the video after proving his point, humiliating the show and taking a huge swing at the shows "integrity" 😂
I loved that time I love metal so it was cool to see bands get play I like pop and many new stars were made I'm Latino and it was cool to see Latino stars rising It was a good time in music and TRL made a lot of future stars we still see today
I despised New Found Glory just cause of the singers voice but pop punk was always my favorite genre. I might go back to that album cause I know a lot of people liked the ones with that “catalyst” song on it.
If you like pop ounk you need to dig into nfg a little. I know some hate hs voice, but they are imo, the best pop punk band of all time. Every album is amazing.
Add TRL’s prime in the late 90s and early 2000s it was pretty common for a rock or metal band to be at number one. Yes you did have boy bands in the late 90s but it didn’t take long before rappers and rock bands really made them all unpopular. Korn, Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park , etc. we’re all at the top
Boy bands come and go, so it's just a phase. Jackson 5, Menudo, New Kids on the Block, N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, One Direction, and so on. There have been many, so it's not really rappers or rock bands that make them unpopular. Their time only lasts so long, then one or more of the members goes solo, and eventually a new group of boy bands shows up to repeat the process.
More surprising bat country got there for a7x considering the movie/book it's based off of. I don't think hunter s Thompson is a popular read among teens
TRL....wow. I feel like we are so far removed from that that when you bring TRL up you might as well be talking about American Bandstand. I have to wonder if a TRL/American Bandstand could even happen today. Young people's consumption has changed so much I don't think they could be bothered to gather around anything for a daily top 10 music show.
Different times, for sure. Back then, the Web was still very young, and very few people had cell phones, so watching a daily TV show would be more common. Now both are ubiquitous, so TV has taken more of a backseat when it comes to music consumption.
#1 should be GOT THE LIFE by KORN.... I think the song was the first and/or only song to be officially retired because it was just unbeatable! Nevermind. Apparently the video for GOT THE LIFE was retired from the countdown for being in the top 3 for too long, but only peaked at #2. That magnificent song and video wasn't able to dethrone N'SYNC and Britney Spears. Now Got the Life is still amazing, while Britney and N'SYNC are extinct. And their music is dead.

"Make Me Bad" is terrific!
And high af on meth too loo
"Always good to hear and see Chester" - that's a thumbs up
I wish you'd offer to spoon more often. Its always magical ❤
Grounded
AFI's Love Like Winter also reached #1 on TRL in 2006, amidst artists such as Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Pink and Christina Aguilera. Granted, that particular song is not really rock and the Hot Topic emo fad was at its zenith, but it was still kind of surreal seeing AFI, of all bands, take the top spot.
I loved that whole album.

Yep. Carson Daily called the Number 3 Slot "The Korn Spot. TRL is also where they did the Issues cover contest.
Let’s also not forget that Korn were on an Episode of South Park and they debuted there single Falling Away From Me.
Korn's "Freak on a Leash" takes me back to my freshman days in high school...I used to come home everyday just to watch that video
Sum 41 being on TRL at #1 was awesome.I also agree with Linkin Park's Minutes To Midnight being underrated and not getting enough credit.Fantastic video as always.Keep it up.
I remember skimming through channels when I was 9 and stumbling across the music video for What I’ve Done by Linkin Park and I absolutely loved the band and got more into Linkin Park. Good memories.
TRL helped kids back then discover music.
Really surprising to me that neither “In the end” nor “Numb” were number ones for the band on TRL, as huge as those songs were. Guess I should be thankful that that network was still playing music vids at all in between the reality and game shows.
Same.
Oh man I love Korn!!! Just can’t get enough.
Man, all these bands and songs were and still are banging! Most of these are my favorite tracks by each band.
I’m, also, surprised how Adam’s Song got to #1 on TRL rather than any of their other music videos, like All the Small Things and What’s My Age Again, especially.
"Quentin "Bring the Nu Metal" Childs" Totally agree. Plus most of those bands shown in this video were my gateway into Metal
Anyone remember when they did the whole "Korn Across America" or whatever it was called? They did like a massive promotion for Follow the Leader and it was wild seeing them on MTV like that. I had been listening to Korn for years but they never got big mainstream attention, then all of a sudden they were EVERYWHERE. The 90s were a crazy time for music.
It was called the Korn Kampaign
Wow dude, some of these were really shocking, haha. Great vid, shared it with my Twitch stream.
TY! Keep up the good work! Been following you for a while.
My mom hated TRL because she didn't like Boy Bands. Then when I was a young kid, my mom saw the Korn spot and listened to it. If only she knew that some years later, I would develop an obsession with Korn as a pre-teen. She probably wouldn't have let me listen to that section since she is convinced that hearing that in TRL made their music stick in my mind even for a decade later.
But my mom should've figured I wouldn't love U2 like she did, when I got kicked out of my Preschool Catholic School Class. Because I was singing the chorus to Girls Girls Girls from Motley Crue.
But she's accepted it so far.
“Dance, Dance” - Fall Out Boy will always be my favorite TRL number one. 🖤 Panic!’s “I Write Sins, Not Tragedies” would be another one, but according to Wikipedia, it never hit number one on TRL? That’s crazy, because it won Video of the Year at the VMAs in 2006. Unless I overlooked it on the list.
There were a lot of songs that were on the show for a LONG time but never hit #1.
A7X’s Bat Country video looked to be inspired by Hunter S Thompson’s Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas lmao I’ve always loved it
Makes sense, considering there is a mention of being in bat country in the movie.
Thank you so much for the notalgia Luke! loved this video!!
I remember Sum 41's Fat Lip hitting #1 multiple times whenever it ebbed away to a pop song and then flowed back when Fat Lip was a novelty again. Those were the days
I remember Korn. With a not rocking it out, they were solving Mysteries Colorado with their Chicken alien Niblet
The AX7 video was about fear and loathing in homage to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
That last part is too true. It’s sad how music videos aren’t massive in artistry anymore. I have a playlist full of artists that had some good music videos. Evanescence, Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, a few pop artists from those eras, etc. Those music videos inspired my stories and directions for imaginary music videos I made for certain bands I like. It’s a shame how lackluster the format has become.
Music videos don't reap many benefits anymore. At least monetarily.
Yes now should call Reality Television hehe. I will keep the old good videos
European bands like Feuerschwanz, Electric Callboy, Nanowar of Steel and many other steel make very high production cool music videos. So do some of the metal bands like architects, spirtibox, lorna shore to name a few
You're literally commenting on the site that premiers music videos now.
I love the little side note that said “It’s always good to see Chester.”
It always will be good to see him, also.
@@RockedNet I wish I had the chance to see them live
It's crazy to me that In the End or Faint didn't make number 1 those were all over the radio when I was growing up. M2M is underrated I agree though! Miss you Chester!
Wasn’t Adams Song 2000 not 01’. I specially remember half my 8th grade English class using it as a poem. Love your guys stuff!
My buddy and I would get together a few times a week to get baked and watch daytime TV. TRL was one of our faves, and it really did have a fair amount of rock both on the list and in the studio. Probably the last bastion of music on MTV.
The more I think about it, I do think TRL was the last show (in memory) that did revolve around music.
fun fact: when All Downhill From Here's music video premiered on TRL, it was tied to a now lost episode where the hosts interviewed cartoon characters from shows like The Powerpuff Girls, Fairly Oddparents and Family Guy.
Only the Fairly Oddparents segment is avaiable due to it being used as a DVD extra
Yep, which also explains why they hyped it up and got it to number 1. I knew the PPG interview is lost, but the FG one also being lost as well surprised me.
I was so glad for the Rules segment because it eliminated three of the five bands that popped in my head from the title: Limp Bizkit, Good Charlotte and Simple Plan (Korn and MCR were the other two).

"What I've Done" is the song that introduced me to LP. It's still a jam.
10:31 bit of an editing flub there. But still a great video. Never got into TRL since I didn't have cable growing up.
Fixing now. Should be gone in an hour or so.
I liked seeing so many great bands from the past revisited.
I recently saw POD open for Jinjer and the crowd, despite skewing younger, totally dug them.
So you’re saying the kids felt alive for the very first time?
@@swrcomswrcom5306 🤣
But let's no forget this channel brought us "amazing" artists like Kid Rock or Limp Bizkit!!! Hehe. Thanks for the video bro
They already existed for years before TRL, so MTV didn't bring them to us. I guess the network helped get them more popular, though.
Limp Bizkit are great nowadays
Those early 2000s for rock was special while still not getting a lot of mainstream respect, I do miss hard rock and metal music videos getting played on tv. Fuse Uranium, HBO Zone, MtvX. While most of those channels didn't last they was a window into music that wasn't always shown.

I agree. Not impossible for a song to get trending, but I admit it's rare to see a new group truly become big through all music.

I remember I got through to TRL once and voted for DORO Unholy Love. You could tell the operator was confused and shocked who I voted for.
Below before I even watched the video, the first song that I thought of was miss murder by AFI. TRL actually had a thing where when it was number 1 for Is so long that it got retired from the countdown

Love all the videos on the list but AFI "Love Like Winter" also hit #1 in 2006...it's a great song and video too...js 🔥
Adam’s Song by Blink-182 and Fat Lip by Sum-41 are no brainers they are instant classics after the first chords in both songs. Adam’s Song it was also cool how Blink-182 could be the party animals making fart jokes and singing about having sex with Grandpa. The tone it all down to really be serious about a topics like Suicide in Adam’s Song or (I know this was a couple years down the road) Divorce in Stay Together For The Kids.
I like the joke of Ridiculousness because the station is and that show is constantly on.
IDK if it was a joke I laughed though
I remember during quarantine, MTV would show literal days of Ridiculousness straight without changing.
Man, I remember watching that Liam interview! He was out of his mind!
Right? No way it would have aired if it wasn't live.
TRL. Yeah I want teenagers yelling over shortened versions of videos. Why did we love it? I feel old
Actually I looked up the TRL Number Ones to see what other rock bands reached #1, other good ones that weren't mentioned that I found were Move Along by The All American Rejects and Dani California by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Good choices for sure.
The most excited I ever got with TRL was when “I Disappear” by Metallica hit #10. That was a shock!
In Canada we had Musique Plus and Much Music. Both followed MTV’s path and no longer exists.
Like MTV, these channels were good in the 1980{s and the 1990’s. I miss that era.
I was always jealous of friends who got Much Music in their TV package.
wasn't there a video countdown show before TRL? it where "Smells like Teen Spirit was on top for WEEKS" I used to record the show on VHS to watch the music videos back.
"Remember when music could be fun?"
_"It's all down hill from here..."_
Editing win.
I could be miss remembering, but I remember tons of numetal on TRL but I was watching more in 2002 and 2003
"Fat Lip" by Sum 41 is just a fun song and video. "In too Deep" was also a really good song by them.
I fell out of TRL by about the early 2000s so anything after 2000 is totally foreign to me, since MTV in my area as a channel were starting to push Sweet 16, The Real World and whatever Bret Michaels and Lil Wayne wanted to do in reality television. So, seeing TRL was a rarity at that turn.
I do remember having rooting for any bands that could at least crack the Top 3 because normally 1 and 2 was a given for pop artists around that time. It was pleasant to have finally seen Korn get 1 for once and a few times.
IIRC, the Bret Michaels shows were on VH1
I remember seeing the Wake Me Up When September Ends video the day it premiered in summer '05.

Before I watch: I remember the day Rock The Party by P.O.D. went to #1. If only for one day lol
It was a wild day for sure.
Basically all my favorite bands are in this video. Green Day, Linkin Park, A7x, Korn, Sum 41, and Blink could quite possibly be my top 6 bands. We are just missing The Offspring, Sevendust, Papa Roach, and Falling In Reverse to round out my top 10.
I also believe "All Downhill From Here" is the only stop-motion video to make it to number 1 on TRL. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Surprised Limp Bizkit wasn't on this list. I remember when they dethroned the boy bands in the late 90s.
I want to see a list of the terrible rock bands that somehow managed to make #1 on TRL. This video was pretty nostalgic. Thanks.
MTV showed music videos?
The first thing that I thought of was "Freak on a leash", and it was the first on the list.
As someone who watches TRL decently enough on old VHS recordings, I can confirm that rock was well-represented on there.
We remember the boy bands and rap stars but TRL definitely gave heavy music a spot.
@@RockedNet Yes!! Watching the Korn and RATM specials put a big smile on my face.
OOOOOH, THAT'S WHAT THE M IN MTV STANDS FOR! MUSIC!
It's true. Most of us have forgotten.
It used to be.
I'm not saying AV7 is the best band here, but I find them making it to #1 more impressive than the other bands.
It's not only a rock song, but it's kind of a song for guitar nerds too. Nobody of their era was playing guitar solos at the time, like, at all.
I never really watched MTV but I knew the name. So I thought TRL meant The Real Life or something lol
Which year ended TRL?
2008.
Wasn't there a TRL revival like 5 years ago? I wonder if any rock bands made it on then. I doubt it.
It wasn’t the same.
It didn't do much for rock or heavy music on the revival (or any act for that matter).
Had my p o d shirt on today from when I saw them open for Jinjer last November
I had a dream the other evening that i was at a Linkin Park concert. I have never been to a Linkin Park concert, i wish i had been. It was the greatest gift my brain has given me.
This is all news to me. During this era of MTV, I was only watching MTV2. It was where all the good shit was happening and where all the old shit that was good came back. Then they screwed it up and turned it into MTV 1.5 🤦♂💀
TIL that Linkin Park's "What I've Done" had a different music video in America. In Britain I always thought that MV was very underwhelming compared to their others, now I finally know why.
Falling Away From Me was the one that dethroned NSync and Backstreet Boys.
Back when TRL was awesome. I miss those days.
Nookie and Rollin ;) Limp Bizkit dominated number 1 and even retired videos on TRL
Ahh TRL, the show that young metalhead me hate watched my entire senior year in the off chance a band i liked got on it
That Atilla Dorn photo!!
I took it myself! I was a photographer at Powerwolf's first North American show in NYC this year.
@@RockedNet I got to see them in SF. Such a good show.
Warms my heart seeing punk green day blink numetal linkin park korn and metalcore a7x 2 of my favorites with a7x and lp korn which i still pike alot and blink and green 2 of my better liked punk
I remember korn being at number one until the boy band craze hit at the time
They still competed well with the boy bands.
I LOVED when Tom Greens "Bum Bum Song" got to number 1 on TRL and shocked the world... Until his employer (MTV) forced him to "retire" the video after proving his point, humiliating the show and taking a huge swing at the shows "integrity" 😂
I loved that time
I love metal so it was cool to see bands get play
I like pop and many new stars were made
I'm Latino and it was cool to see Latino stars rising
It was a good time in music and TRL made a lot of future stars we still see today
I despised New Found Glory just cause of the singers voice but pop punk was always my favorite genre. I might go back to that album cause I know a lot of people liked the ones with that “catalyst” song on it.
If you like pop ounk you need to dig into nfg a little. I know some hate hs voice, but they are imo, the best pop punk band of all time. Every album is amazing.
Let me guess, Limp Bizkit and Simple Plan were among those left off?
Add TRL’s prime in the late 90s and early 2000s it was pretty common for a rock or metal band to be at number one. Yes you did have boy bands in the late 90s but it didn’t take long before rappers and rock bands really made them all unpopular. Korn, Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park , etc. we’re all at the top
Boy bands come and go, so it's just a phase. Jackson 5, Menudo, New Kids on the Block, N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, One Direction, and so on. There have been many, so it's not really rappers or rock bands that make them unpopular. Their time only lasts so long, then one or more of the members goes solo, and eventually a new group of boy bands shows up to repeat the process.
Too bad you didn't mention "Pain for Pleasure" that came on the end of "Fat Lip". It was a great parody of 80's metal.
More surprising bat country got there for a7x considering the movie/book it's based off of. I don't think hunter s Thompson is a popular read among teens
There was a day where all the top ten were rock
I like new found glory lol fight me
Good Charlotte Has 4 vids are on #1 medio 2002-2004
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
The Anthem
Girls and Boys
Hold On
also predictable as i recall
Not a #1 on TRL, but back in 1994 (I think) Marilyn Manson showed up on Dial MTV. It's a goofy appearance.
I always just assumed the voting on TRL was rigged
They said it wasn't and I do believe that thousands of junior high and high schoolers were calling in to vote for music videos.
Of course it did
I loved MTV till around 2004 2005
You forgot about limp bizkit lol
How about Fall Out Boy? Or perhaps even Evanescence, Boys Like Girls, or the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
I feel like TRL went on a lot longer post-Carson Daly than I would realize.
It did. Show finally ended in 2008.
TRL played anything, it was usually only 10 seconds if it wasn’t a pop band tho
TRL....wow. I feel like we are so far removed from that that when you bring TRL up you might as well be talking about American Bandstand. I have to wonder if a TRL/American Bandstand could even happen today. Young people's consumption has changed so much I don't think they could be bothered to gather around anything for a daily top 10 music show.
Different times, for sure. Back then, the Web was still very young, and very few people had cell phones, so watching a daily TV show would be more common. Now both are ubiquitous, so TV has taken more of a backseat when it comes to music consumption.
Green Day Sum 41 and Linkin Park Paramore
#1 should be GOT THE LIFE by KORN.... I think the song was the first and/or only song to be officially retired because it was just unbeatable!
Nevermind. Apparently the video for GOT THE LIFE was retired from the countdown for being in the top 3 for too long, but only peaked at #2. That magnificent song and video wasn't able to dethrone N'SYNC and Britney Spears. Now Got the Life is still amazing, while Britney and N'SYNC are
extinct. And their music is dead.
I'd rather listen to backstreet boys then 2015-on rap
