I was watching the top 20 on VH1 this morning, and HAND is down to #19. Never got higher than #15. Now, when It's My Life came out, at that time, there were still some videos being played in regular rotation. Also, they had been away for 5 years as a band, so it makes some sense to make a video.

But these days - It just seems like a silly waste of money. MTV never plays videos anymore. And with the exception of the top 20 on VH1 on the weekends, they don't play videos anymore either.

Jon himself has said many times that he hates making videos. They're very expensive, and one could make a good arguement, that in this day and age, the music video does absolutely nothing to push or promote the single or the album.

I'm not sure how it is in other countries, but in the US, does anyone think making a music video anymore is in the least bit necessary?
