For example Michael Jackson often produced music videos that cost several millions to produce, and once they were released it then sent him into a lot of debt. The video Michael made called scream was proved to be the most expensive music video that has ever been made costing a massive 7 million, this was produced in 1995.

The main purposes of a music video is to sell a song, if it has a music video with it it seems to sell it a lot more and give the singer a lot more profit in the long run. The second reasons that a music video is good is it remind you of the song and helps you remember it a lot easier. For example a memorable music video is OK Go - Here It Goes Again, this was created by a band who danced and used treadmills as their video. It was not necessarily the song that people can remember but the video that went along with it now means that everyone knows it and it made them very famous very quickly because of it.
