Retired video statistics

Thursday 9/16/99 - I’m warming up to the song, but I’m still questioning the actual concept of the video, seeing as it has absolutely nothing to do with the song. Hmmm……

Monday, September 20 - As much as I’m starting to like this song, could we please get Limp Bizkit up here?

September 21, Tuesday - Holding strong against the evil powers of ‘N Sync.

September 22, 1999 Wednesday - AJ screams at the beginning. Like he’s in pain. No, AJ, no!

September 23, 1999 Thursday - The email requests for this song today: one read "AJ is so sexy" (um, no, not when he’s connected to the wall, and definitely not when he’s in Britney’s shirt), the other was actually pretty accurate: "Kevin is the sexiest man alive." Yes, he is pretty damn close.

September 24, 1999 Friday - Surprise, surprise

September 28, 1999 Tuesday - Upon review of this video, I am seeing how completely adorable Brian is! He's just a smiling cutie, especially during the dance scenes. What a cutie!

September 29, 1999 Wednesday - Don’t you just love Kevin’s little "who da man" move before they all start dancing? He’s like, "Yeah, I’m cool, and I’m sexy, and I’m gonna start dancing now." Watch for the move people. It’s hilarious

September 30, 1999 Thursday - I really am loving this song. The dancing scene is soo cute: Brian’s adorableness and Kevin’s sexiness.

[Part of the summary for the month of October]: October was dominated by boy bands, especially Backstreet Boys, who took the number one spot everyday of the month, except for two (when it unfortunately went to ‘N Sync).

October 4, 1999 Monday - It’s really funny to see how bad Nick looks in this video. His hair? So bad.

October 6, 1999 Wednesday - Still managed to beat today’s popular guests.

October 7, 1999 Thursday - [At #2 due to ‘N Sync’s visit] No words. Speechless. Saddened

October 12, 1999 Tuesday - Number one on the day I go to their concert!

October 13, 1999 Wednesday - Aaaah! I went to their concert! They sang this first! It was so good! Kevin=hot, Brian=adorable!

October 19, 1999 Tuesday - Carson comments, "BSB is at number one, again, … which is awesome." I think he’s stretching the truth a little there. I'm sure he doesn't think it's all that awesome.

October 20, 1999 Wednesday - A funny parody video of some random guys singing "I Want it that Way" in double time aired. (Absolutely laughter-provoking!)

October 21, 1999 Thursday - Everyday Carson mentions how BSB are always #1 everyday. I’m sure the boys appreciate his frustration.

October 25, 1999 Monday – [Joey and Chris from ‘N Sync are hosting] In his bitterness, Joey says, after asked how many days BSB has been at the top, "too many."

October 27, 1999 Wednesday – [After being in the #2 spot for one day] "Who can’t live a day without being number one."

October 28, 1999 Thursday - Dave Holmes’ favorite part: when Kevin is hitting the buttons. It is cute.

October 29, 1999 Friday – [The ‘N Sync comment] It’s so obvious that Justin and JC are the only ones who ever get to sing solos… at least BSB only persecute Kevin, not three of them.

November 4, 1999 Thursday - Kevin, getting a little too violent hitting that capsule you’re in.

November 5, 1999 Friday - Lyric of the day: "Wishin’ I could thank you in different way, c’mon"

November 08, 1999 Monday- Dave needs somebody to explain the video to him. Funny, cause so do I...

November 09, 1999 - Kevin named Sexiest Pop Star in People! (Good call.)

November 10, 1999 Wednesday – [at #1, again] They are so reliable. I love it.

November 11, 1999 Thursday - [at #1, again] "They’re unstoppable!"

November 15, 1999 Monday - Brian is so adorable!

November 17, 1999 Wednesday - 15 day streak ended! They can withstand ‘N Sync’s retirement, but not Korn’s visit.

November 19, 1999 Friday – [still at #2] I’m actually really surprised that this has stayed here for so long.

November 22, 1999 Monday - [still at #2] Do you actually know how much this surprises me?

November 23, 1999 Tuesday - I don’t mean to "mix" aspects of my website, but I’m kinda glad that this is a back at #1. But I love the variety we got up here, though.

November 24, 1999 Wednesday - Nick’s dancing is basically embarrassing and disgusting to watch.

November 26, 1999 Friday - Viewer Comments Day! - "Hey TRL, please play "Larger Than Life" by Backstreet Boys. The song is off the hook and all the guys look so good."

COMMENTS:
Tuesday 9/14/99 - OH, who’s NOT number one? Wait, is it ‘N Sync?

Wednesday 9/15/99 - Wait, still number two? Makes my day.

Thursday 9/16/99 - * I always thought that the song behind the video had to be good for the video to succeed, but I guess I was wrong (see number 2).

Monday, September 20 - Still hatin the boring crap song

September 22, 1999 Wednesday - Please please, people, stop voting for this. Enough’s enough.

September 23, 1999 Thursday – [They are at #3] Praise the people, praise the people who have finally stopped voting for this crap. I am so thankful.

September 24, 1999 Friday – [At number four] My happiness is without words. When a video can’t even hold on to the votes of the teenyboppers, you know there’s something wrong with it.

September 28, 1999 Tuesday - Ugh! They made it back to the runner-up spot.

September 29, 1999 Wednesday
"Preamble": When I came home today, I was bombarded with the news that there was a new number one. OMG, was I immediately upset. Not only had I had a pretty crappy day, but now I had to come home to ‘N Sync at number one. I mean, there are some things I can handle, but that it definitely not one of them. However, I am happy to admit that I was wrong. ‘N Sync did not manage to beat BSB for the #1 spot! It was good ole Britney. Again my happiness was restored. On with the countdown!

September 30, 1999 Thursday – [At #3] This is suckin for a boy band. Can’t even get second to the other boy band. Aah, sweet justice.

October 1, 1999 Friday - I get an adrenalin rush every time I see that they aren’t even #2!

October 4, 1999 Monday - Just found out that the song was recorded in two places, ‘N Sync at one and Gloria at the other. The first time that the two met was at the video shoot. And the song is supposed to have so much emotional backing? Yeah right, give me a break. Emotional song where the artists did not even know each other.

October 5, 1999 Tuesday- They’re coming tomorrow! A very good practice for writing commentary. I’m so excited!

October 6, 1999 Wednesday - When asked why they were number two, Justin thought maybe it was because it was a slow song. Um, no, I think it’s pretty much because the song sucks. A lot.
- ‘N Sync and Gloria Estefan visit. Boy do I have a lot of stuff to say today. If you care about 'N Sync or about the comments I have, click here!

October 7, 1999 Thursday - I guess this is #1 only because people had a chance to witness them (and their stupidity) yesterday. At first I was mad, but then I realized that they’re not worth it.

October 11, 1999 Monday - My grandma says if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all.

October 13, 1999 Wednesday - If you look closely at Lance (I know, difficult…), you’ll notice that it looks like he doesn’t really know the words. It’s hilarious.

October 14, 1999 Thursday - NEWS: Are being sued for $150 million for breach of contract (because they joined BSB’s label). Hmmm…

October 15, 1999 Friday - Lance seriously does not know the words! Just watch him.

October 25, 1999 Monday - Chris and Joey from ‘N Sync guest host. Okay, I know everybody has figured out how I feel about them, so I’ll just limit myself to commenting about stuff everybody should have noticed. *They are wearing pajamas. *At the beginning they sing along with the Backstreet Boys. *Chris actually looks semi-good without his dreds. I can’t believe I just thought that… But, as my brother says, "he still has that weirdo high voice."
- I am still laughing out loud hysterically at the position of this video. And at this: while they are complaining considerably, Dave announces that "three is perfectly acceptable; quit your bitchin’." That’s classic right there.

October 26, 1999 Tuesday - Due to the unbelievable results of today’s countdown, today you will be spared my wonderful commentary. I am so distraught. Especially because people can appear on TRL and inspire people to enthusiastically vote the next day, despite the fact that they might have acted dumbly. I mean seriously.

October 27, 1999 Wednesday - I think Carson says it best: "After tasting the fruits of the #1 spot for one very short day, they have fallen back to the runner-up spot."

October 29, 1999 Friday - It’s so obvious that Justin and JC are the only ones who ever get to sing solos…

November 4, 1999 Thursday - Exciting news about this video tomorrow. I taking that to mean that they are being retired.

November 08, 1999 Monday - The name of the song and the title of the movie don't match. Oh well, not like the movie is doing so well anyway.

November 09, 1999 - I really don’t mind seeing this video, cause I know it’ll be gone SO soon

November 10, 1999 Wednesday - Could this… possibly… maybe… hopefully… retire out of the #1 spot? *cross your fingers!*

November 11, 1999 Thursday - Preamble: Today truly is one of the best days of my life. I was expecting it to be good, due to other things going on and the fact that my magazine said the 11th would be a lucky day, but I didn’t realize how awesome it would turn out to be. Do me a favor and scroll down this page to view today’s results. Are you seeing that group called ‘N Sync? Do you see the number they landed at? That’s right, #2. But here’s the kicker: it’s on the day they retire. Oh man, what a great day

They’re a part of the January recap: Well, January was a part of my… um, lack of updates and interest in this site. Meaning that I didn’t really have the time to include my opinions about TRL on here. BUT, I did watch the show! So here I have the results, even though it was during my failure. Anyway, January was pretty much dominated by the Backstreet Boys: they were #1 on all but 3 days. Again the boy bands can’t be beaten. Ah, how crazy!

Friday 2/25/2000 - Number one nostalgia

Monday 2/28/2000 - Check out Nick’s “eyebrow raise” during the words “endless love.” This is a good contribution of his to the video.

Tuesday 2/29/2000 - How seriously cute are they in this video. Seriously

Wednesday 3/01/2000 - Lyric of the day: “How can it be you’re asking me to feel the things you never show?” Aaaagggghhhhh, so good!

Thursday 3/02/2000 - Are you noticing how HOT Kevin is?

Friday 3/03/2000 - Vote for this only cause ‘N Sync doesn’t deserve to be #1 every day. Let’s get some variety!

Wednesday 3/08/2000 - Nick called—he was so cute sounding, seriously.

Monday 3/13/2000 - OH, look who beat ‘N Sync! Finally!
- Notes: ‘N Sync did NOT break record for streak at #1! This was like a major adrenaline boost for my entire day. I’m not joking. Backstreet is so awesome.

Tuesday 3/14/2000 - They made it to #1 for one day. They will be able to do it again, I’m not worried.

Wednesday 3/15/2000 - They’re Aaliyah’s “babies.” How cute!

Tuesday 3/21/2000 - Best part: Nick’s eyebrow raise!

Wednesday 3/22/2000 - This song and Britney show that slow songs never can make it as well as uptempo songs can

Thursday 3/23/2000 - Check out their hotness :)

Wednesday 3/29/2000 - Lyric of the day: “Life goes on as it never ends, eyes of stone observe the trends”

Thursday 3/30/2000 - “Cause once I get my hands on you Nick, you’re gonna be singin’ a different song!” What a good comment, seriously

Friday 3/31/2000 - Just 3 more days. They’re pretty lonely without the #1 spot. Let them have it the last couple days. It’s only nice.

Monday 4/3/2000 - How awesome is this exactly?!? [They’re at #1] The adrenaline rush was amazing... BSB needs to be #1 when they retire. So cool!

Wednesday 4/5/2000 - Highlights of the video (I’ll miss it): Nick’s eyebrow raise, Kevin’s head nod to Howie, AJ’s heroic gestures with his hat over his heart, they all come together at the end!

Wednesday 9/15/99 - A word on Joe C.: he says he’s not a midget because he is evenly proportioned. However, midgets are evenly proportioned. That’s what the word midget means. Maybe he doesn’t remember what his doctor has told him, but look it up in any dictionary and realize that he is a midget.

Thursday 9/16/99 - That Damn Show… two days

September 23, 1999 Thursday - TRL played a very tiny amount of this video; next thing they’ll do is cut down the time to NONE at all, as it was with Korn. They’re always targeting the rock videos. It’s persecution I tell you, dirty persecution.

September 24, 1999 Friday - When he’s nearing LA, the map says he traveled through a place called "Parumph." WTF

September 30, 1999 Thursday - "I’m straight out the trailer!" Yeah, I yelled that lyric out and That Damn Show—good times!

October 1, 1999 Friday - This is just always here. It’s unfailing. But, unlike other videos, it doesn’t get the same attention
October 4, 1999 Monday - My absolute favorite line: "I once was lost, but now I’m just blind."

October 11, 1999 Monday - There is no longer any thrill attached to seeing this video. It’s worn out.

October 13, 1999 Wednesday - Again, this video is just there. It’s so weird: it never gets any news or interesting introductions or anything. ???

October 20, 1999 Wednesday - TRL has formally established a contest between this video and Mariah’s. Why are they forcing conflict?

October 22, 1999 Friday - Carson is still building up that conflict with Mariah’s video. Craziness.

October 28, 1999 Thursday – [At #5, up] - …with only a couple days left, he deserves to go up. Looks like he beat Mariah too.

November 2, 1999 Tuesday - I'm gonna miss this one... but not as much as Carson will. See Retired Videos for some vital statistics
