Music videos constitute an art form, but they're also basically advertising. They were created so that we'd want to buy music. That's their point. It's why they exist. So I don't know why I'm annoyed that something that essentially functions as a music video -- the Spike Jonze Apple ad with FKA twigs and the Anderson .Paak song -- is really just an advertisement for something other than music. (It is an advertisement for something that plays music, but that's just not the same.) If that video really was an Anderson .Paak video, it'd be this week's best video, but it's not, so it's not on the list. This week's list is below.
