Music video timeline 70s/80s


1970's-
Television had a great impact on music and the show Top of the pops came about in the 1970's, which became extremely popular and artists would make story lines to go with their song and be recorded to be played on the show as all artists and bands could not make it to England just to be on the show.



1980's-
Soon after MTV came out which was the only channel back in the 1980's that was dedicated purely to music. MTV was the first music channel which showed the first black music video, Michael Jacksons hit song Thriller.
