VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown (original) (raw)

The 20 (previously known as the VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown) is a weekly television show that aired on the VH1 cable television network in the United States. The long-running series began in 1995 as the VH1 Top 10 Countdown, part of VH1's "Music First" re-branding effort. Over the years a variety of hosts counted down the top ten or twenty music videos of the week. The order of countdown was originally decided by a mix of record sales, radio airplay, video spins, message board posts, and conventional mail. The series finale aired unexpectedly without any ceremony on November 28, 2015, with the last number one on the show belonging to Drake's "Hotline Bling".
