Synopsis[edit]
Every year until 2014, towards the end of December, VH1 presented their annual Top 40 Videos of the Year. The list was based on the rotation of videos that appeared on VH1's weekly Top 20 Countdown over the course of the past year. In 2003, the Top 40 Videos of the Year were hosted by VH1's own Rachel Perry & Aamer Haleem. In 2004, the host was actress & musician Juliette Lewis. From 2005 onward, there were no hosts but commentaries from artists, comedians, & TV personalities were seen throughout each video. In 2012 and 2014, the special, hosted by Jim Shearer, changed to the Top 20 Videos of the Year and only aired one day instead of five. In 2013, the special changed back to the top 40 videos of the year.
