In case you couldn’t tell, Complex loves music videos. Earlier this week, we dropped our comprehensive countdown of the 100 Best Music Videos of the 2000s (click here if you missed it), but something was still missing. What would music videos be without the so-called “video vixen,” the model/dancer/actresses who provide us with a little aspirational eye candy in our darkest hour?
The last decade has truly been the golden age for the music video model, from icons like Melyssa Ford to new favorites like Rosa Acosta. Even some of the world’s sexiest celebrities (ScarJo!) have made memorable video appearances, so we wanted to provide a comprehensive look back at all the ladies who have caught our eye on MTV, BET and YouTube over the last 10 years. Check out Complex’s 50 favorite music video models below…

What’s that you say? That we’ve been hitting you with a different mega-list ever week for the past nine weeks and you’ve had enough? Well, to that, we say: Tough. That’s right, we’ve showed you our Top 100 Sports Moments | Top 100 T-shirts | Top 100 Girls | Top 100 Albums | Top 100 Sneakers | Top 100 Movies | Top 100 Internet Videos | Top 100 Video Games | Top 100 TV Shows and most recently, the Top 100 Style Trends. We might be getting close, but we’re not done sifting through every conceivable facet of Complex culture and presenting them to you in completely subjective (but no less legitimate) order. And next up is that hallowed haven of all things comedic, thuggish, and surgically enhanced. No, not professional wrestling (though that’s not a bad idea)—music videos!
Sure, the record industry may not be what it once was, but that doesn’t mean that the past decade hasn’t seen hundreds, nay, thousands of videos that deserved consideration in our countdown. But we only had room for a cool hundred, and the coolest hundred we found. So set aside a couple of hours, make yourselves comfortable somewhere where people won’t judge you for your viewing habits, and vegetate your way through the greatest music videos of the 2000s…

This week we brought you our Top 100 Style Trends of the decade. But we can’t sleep on our trend-setting female friends—we all know this world would be pretty lame if it weren’t for things like short-shorts, stilettos, and freak’um dresses. So, to pay homage to the opposite sex for making themselves look so appetizing, we’re back with the Top 10 Women’s Trends of the 2000s.
Granted, this list is heavily favored toward the trends that portrayed the female form in all its glory, which means we skipped shit like the furry boots that make your wifey look like a confused Eskimo. We included our favorite sexy trends, and—more importantly—the sexy women that rocked them so well. You probably have a list of your own, but stop frontin’, ours is way better. Read on for the best…

We’re heading into the stretch run of our almighty Aughts countdowns—i.e., Top 100 Sports Moments | Top 100 T-shirts | Top 100 Girls | Top 100 Albums | Top 100 Sneakers | Top 100 Movies | Top 100 Internet Videos | Top 100 Video Games | Top 100 TV Shows—and word to Vanessa Williams, we’re saving some of the best for last. Don’t take this to mean we’re not thoroughly knowledgeable about the other subjects we’ve already covered, but if Complex are authorities on anything, it’s men’s style. We observe trends, we set trends, we hump trends, we dump trends, we are trends. This is what we do!
Our comprehensive inventory of the 100 Best Style Trends of the 2000s covers the good (plaid, chambray shirts, workwear), the bad (trucker hats, grills, back-pocket detail), and the WTF-were-you-thinking (headbands, skulls, full-zip hoodies). If you wore it during the last decade, chances are it’s on our list. So check the link below and get to clicking…and hating.

Know how to make your favorite things better? Combine the two of them. Earlier this week we dropped our Top 100 Sports Moments of the decade list, and thought, Hmmm, what could we possibly add to improve upon that? How about we take our Top 100 Sports Moments x Top 100 Hottest Girls of the decade to make our a list of our top female athletes from the 2000s? So here it is, our sweat-drenched list of the hotties who sweat it out on the field of play. Game on…

It’s November, and you know what that means, right? Probably time to get that August rent check in the mail. Only two months left in the first decade of the 21st Century! Kinda crazy, innit?!? We’ve spent the past few weeks counting down all our favorite things from the past ten years with our 200 proof Top 100 Lists: Top 100 T-Shirts | Top 100 Girls | Top 100 Albums | Top 100 Sneakers | Top 100 Movies | Top 100 Internet Videos | Top 100 Video Games. | Top 100 TV Shows. Next up? The 100 Best Sports Moments!
Now what, you ask, does Complex know about sports? Quite a bit it turns out. We know some dude named Lance won some bike races this decade; we know we’ve finally got a president that can hoop; we know some dimpled quarterback won a few Super Bowls. But those aren’t really the moments we’re interested in. Instead of the plays that make you say “Wow, that’s inspiring!” we’re more for the ones that make you say “Holy mother of man, that’s disgusting!” Hey, we’re a little off, what can we say? So if you’re at all like us, you won’t avert your eyes as we present the 100 Best Sports Moments of the 2000’s.

Earlier this week, we dropped our latest mega-countdown, the Top 100 TV Shows of the 2000s. Which is all well and good, but the truth is that finding 100 great shows was a lot harder than you’d think. We did a little calculating around here, and it turns out that for every good TV show, there are exactly 81.37 horrible ones (more if you count cable news). By that math, there were 8137 terrible shows on in the last 10 years, so we’d appreciate a little gratitude for the fact that we just narrowed those down to the 10 most terribly executed, forgettable, execrable wastes of network money of the Aughts. Read on, and please, PLEASE don’t go looking for clips of this stuff. Well, except for the ones we dug up. There’s only so much a person can take…

Happy Monday, snitches! It’s a new week, which means a new installment in Complex’s Best of the 2000s series.

How about TV Shows?
That’s right, another decade of our youth lost to the boob tube. We could’ve run a marathon, we could’ve started our own business, we could’ve joined the Peace Corps. But we didn’t. Instead we spent hours (upon hours upon hours) parked in front of our television set zoned out like crackheads. There ain’t no shame in our game—in fact, we’re proud to share our extensive knowledge of the idiot box with our totally comprehensive guide to the 100 Best TV Shows of the decade. Grab a drink, your favorite snack, and of course the remote…

We know, we’re dropping “Best of the 2000s” lists on you like rappers drop “at the end of the day” on us. But at the end of the day, you guys are clickin’ so we’re going to keep it going. In light of our most recent countdown, The Top 100 Video Games of the 2000s, we’ve decided that there needs to be a tribute to the consoles that allow us to put our procrastination skills to good work. While it seems more than obvious which consoles have come out, no one has crowned a king just yet. Fortunately for you we like to push the envelope and press buttons. So hate it or love it, here are our The Top 10 Video Game Consoles of the Decade…

Sure, Laura Croft was that chick in the ’90s, but what about the digital girls (no Jamie Foxx) who have captured our hearts over the last 10 years? Get to know our 10 favorite video game vixens below…
