Research findings:

After reviewing the top 10 music video countdown I was surprised at my end results.

My summary reads- Women that appeared in an episode of VH1's top 10 video countdown were scare; men were much more predominant in the music videos. However when women were in the music videos, they were mostly in rock music videos, were Caucasian, portrayed as independent, and dressed moderately.

  1. The 2 of the 3 minority leading ladies in the videos were the actual musical artists, one was African American, the other Filipino.
  2. Some of the music videos had no females featured at all, and only two videos had other females featured in the videos, those videos however did not have a leading lady.
  3. Only 3 of the artists on the countdown were female.
  4. The Caucasian and the African American leading lady were the only ones not labeled sexualized.

Overall as will be stated in my report I am surprised at the lack of female presence, I was though presently surprised that VH1's average video had them dressed moderately. However still discouraged with the lack of minority's present.
