Two things I found out about song order and videos.... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice Johnson · 12-13-2004, 10:59 AM

I have learned that just because a song has a video to it, it doesn't mean that the song is a hit or a single. Example:Janet Jackon's "The Knowledge", which appears on Rhythm Nation 1814 VHS, not to be confused with Rhythm Nation Compliation VHS.

I have learned that just because a certain song is first on the album, it doesn't mean that that was the first song recorded. I thought that the song order was like this:first song on the album, first recorded, second song on the album, second recorded, and so on, but it doesn't work like that. The order on the album is not always the order recorded. Example: Paula Abdul's "Knocked Out" on .Forever Your Girl , was recorded first, but is second on the album.

Congrats on your discovery!

Some songs never get a video made either.

I'm in shock, too. Like, wow!

This reminds me of a friend I had in high school who didn't know that singers lip- synched their songs in music videos. She thought they sang their songs while making a music video, instead of lip-synching to a CD recording.

Janice - Videos are primarily made for songs released as singles. This tradition goes back to the sixties, when the Beatles and the Stones made promotional clips for singles, which were mostly shown on British television but were sometimes aired in the U.S. on shows like "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," which aired the "Hey Jude" and "Revolution" clips from the Beatles.

Also, artists usually go over song sequencing for hours to make their albums flow properly. Sometimes this can lead to a surprise: everybody regards "Tomorrow Never Knows," the last song on the Beatles's Revolver, as a groundbreaking song that just had to be recorded toward the end of the sessions for that album. In fact, it was the very first song the Beatles taped for Revolver.

Who'da thunk?
