Today, it is hard to imagine a world without music videos. Huge amounts of money are spent to produce them, and sometimes, it is the video that makes or breaks a song. On this date in 1981, MTV (Music Television) started broadcasting in the United States. It was the first TV station dedicated solely to music. The first video to be aired was very appropriate. It was Video Killed the Radio Star by the British group The Buggles. The song has been used for special purposes on MTV ever since. In 2000, Video Killed the Radio Star was chosen to be the millionth video aired on MTV.
我們現在很難想像沒有音樂錄影帶的世界。大筆的金錢花費在製作音樂錄影帶上，而有時候讓一首歌大紅大紫或一敗塗地的就是錄影帶。1981年的今日，MTV 電視台開始在美國播放。它是第一家全力播送音樂的電視台。第一支播放的音樂錄影帶也相當貼切，那就是英國團體The Buggles的Video Killed the Radio Star（圖，翻攝網路）。這首歌曲自那時起就被MTV電視台作為特殊用途，在2000年，Video Killed the Radio Star還被選為第一百萬支在MTV電視台播放的音樂錄影帶。
