# Videodrome 119 – This week’s best videos
**Each week, Moritz Gayard rounds up the best new music videos so you
don't have to. **
This is not [Top Of The Pops][1]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}, the
rebirth of [TRL][2]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}, or, for us
Germans, [Ronny's Popshow][3]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}. It's
your weekly Videodrome with an edition featuring a lot of pop videos
inside. Mostly because of a lack of new electronic videos, this week's
props are going to Lulu James, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Angel Haze, and
more.
**#1 Lulu James -- "Sweetest Thing"**
Rising singer [Lulu James][4]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} has
released the visuals for her latest single, "Sweetest Thing". It's a
pretty basic concept, which turns Lulu into some neon, screensaver
lights.
**#2 Britney Spears -- "Work Bitch",** directed by Ben Mor
My girl [Britney Spears][5]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} is coming
back strong! Here are the visuals for her listenable "Work Bitch" track,
where you can see Britney doing some actual dance moves.
**#3 Rihanna -- "Pour It Up"**
So, [Rihanna][6]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} can twerk and get
naked in her videos. Everybody loves this. So, what was the problem with
Miley doing the same in her video? And on top of this: pole-dancing in
bikinis may look a little trashy, Riri.
**#4 AlunaGeorge -- "Best Be Believing"**
Anyone up for a party at the cuckoo's nest? Wanna join the dance
rehabilitation clinic? Then head into London Electro-pop duo
[AlunaGeorge][7]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}'s new music video
above.
**#5 Angel Haze -- "Echelon (It's My Way)"**
It's Angel Haze's video for "Echelon", the new single off her
album Dirty Gold, where your can see Angel spending time
partying with her neighbors surrounded by some motor-gang girls.
**#6 Ryan Hemsworth -- "Against A Wall" ft. Lofty305**
Not sure about animals in music videos. Seriously. Above, [Ryan][8]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener"} decided for a girl and cat with some
sort of happy/sad cat love. BTW: *"When I lay down at night / the only
thing that I can do / is wish that I had you closer."*
**#7 Tei Shi -- "M&Ms"**, directed by Mac Boucher
Here comes Brooklyn singer [Tei Shi][9]{: target="_blank"
rel="noopener"}'s "M&M's", coming off the EP *Saudade*, out November
12th. The video was directed by Mac Boucher, aka Grimes' brother.
**#8 Shy Girls -- "Still Not Falling"**
Refreshingly simple R&B production here for Portland artist Dan
Vidmar known as [Shy Girls][10]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}. These
are the visuals for "Still Not Falling", the first single from his
forthcoming *Timeshare* EP.
**#9 Cults -- "High Road"**
NYs Cults will be releasing their highly anticipated album, *Static*, on
October 15the. The video channels vintage psychedelia with mesmerizing
spirals and more.
**#10 Gesaffelstein -- "Hate or Glory"**
The french directing duo Fleur & Manu did it again, this time for
french EDM producer Gesaffelstein with a lot of violence and greed, plus
a touch of surrealism.
**#11 Pet Shop Boys -- "Thursday" ft. Example**
Finally the new [PSB ][11]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}video:
filmed on location in Shanghai(?), intercut with footage showing fans
from their concerts and Neil singing from an animated billboard... ~
