A 1979 UK Number 1 became the very first music video shown when MTV launched in 1981.

The Buggles’ Video Killed the Radio Star reached UK Number 1 in October 1979—but its biggest television moment came nearly two years later. 📺 When MTV launched in America on 1 August 1981, this was the very first video it played. An uncannily perfect opening choice for a channel about to change pop music forever! Do you remember it?
