Again this year, music videos have proven to be one of the most manageable and malleable media we have. They can last a few minutes or an hour, they can explore issues of identity and race, or they can show off some of the fiercest dance moves. They can take the form of 'DIY' silliness or a Hollywood extravaganza, they can offer up-and-coming talent and their sense of aesthetics or legends saying goodbye to their fans with videos. Here are the editors' picks for the best videos of 2016 that we've watched over and over again this past year.

Rihanna has become the best-selling solo artist of all time! She managed to do this in just 12 years of her music career. She began her journey with the song Pon De Replay in 2005. 213.2 million albums sold later, she has taken the crown of the most successful solo artist in music history. She dethroned the king of rock'n'roll, Elvis Presley. Now Rihanna has a new target on the fly - the legendary band The Beatles, who are the only ones to have sold more albums than the Barbadian beauty. But even this record is at risk...
