John Mayer goes roadtrippin' in this first video off new album Born And Raised, quite purposefully getting the hell out of Hollywood to find himself out in the country amongst real people. --> watch "Shadow Days"

Taylor Swift may be depicted as pure as pure can be in this first video to support the Hunger Games soundtrack, but there's clearly some bits of menace are all around her as she makes her way across a countryside. Guests The Civil Wars deliver their performance safely/soundly by a fireplace, adding some warmth to the track. It's all very controlled and confident and quite possibly a stake in the heart of the Twilight franchise's hold on music tastemaking.  --> watch "Safe & Sound" (MTV premiere)

A video as pure and simple as the hooks in this poppy punk tune by sister act Bleached. A mix of cameras — Super 8, 16mm and 35mm — capture Jessica and Jennifer Clavin as they search their way around a horse ranch. And for all your pop trivia fans (and Pop-Up Video producers): One of the cameramen is Jon Gries, best known as Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. --> watch "Searching Through The Past"

Rural meets Urban in this collaboraton between Yelawolf and Kid Rock, alternating between the muddy fields of Alabama and on the streets of The Bronx. --> watch "Let's Roll"

The outfits and the backdrops got to coordinate in this kinetic and stylish performance video for Jessie J. --> watch "Domino"
