Best Music Videos of January 2012

Even if this serves no other purpose than to make my year-end list making a bit easier, here are the Best Videos of The Month.

Parameters for this:

  • Videos had to be featured on Videostatic.com during the month (which means a couple great videos already out will probably be in next month's rundown, because I am like the Paul Masson of music video bloggers)
  • "Best" is merely a synonym for: I personally though this video was really good, or notable for whatever reason I think significant (also, keep in mind that I do appreciate a well-made pop video )
  • Comments are open. Use 'em to suggest missing clips. Be nice.
