Although we have very limited options for English-speaking TV channels here in Basel, we do have four music video channels (MTV, MTV2, VIVA and VIVA2). Unlike MTV at home, they all play actual videos for most of the day. I will occasionally be providing updates of the most popular videos (based on a totally unscientific study of the videos I see most often). I'll be curious to know whether these same songs are popular in the US. Here's what's playing these days:

• Usher-"Yeah"


• Britney Spears-"Toxic"


• Black Eyed Peas-"Hey Mama"


• Jamelia-"Superstar"


• Sugababes-"In the Middle"


• Enrique Iglesias-"Not in Love"


• Baby Bash-"Suga Suga"


• LMC vs. U2-"Take Me to the Clouds Above"
