Buggles Classic Hit | Video Killed the Radio Star | Live

Hello Everyone, welcome to Sing it Live, this video 'Buggles Classic Hit | Video Killed the Radio Star | Live' was recorded live at The Bend Motorsport Park, South Australia and produced by Darren Mullan. All microphones in this performance were ‪@sEElectronicsofficial‬ and we recorded using an Allen & Heath D-Live digital console. "Video Killed the Radio Star" is a song written by Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes, and Bruce Woolley in 1979. It was recorded concurrently by Bruce Woolley and the Camera Club (with Thomas Dolby on keyboards) for their debut studio album, English Garden, and by British new wave/synth-pop group the Buggles, which consisted of Horn and Downes (and initially Woolley). The Buggles' version of the track was recorded and mixed in 1979, released as their debut single on 7 September 1979 by Island Records, and included on their debut studio album, The Age of Plastic. The song relates to concerns about, and mixed attitudes toward 20th-century inventions and machines for the media arts. The song has been positively received by music critics, with its reviewers praising its unusual musical pop elements. On release, the Buggles' version topped sixteen international record charts, including those in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan. It also peaked in the top 10 in Canada, Germany, New Zealand and South Africa, but only reached number 40 in the United States. It has also been certified Platinum in the United Kingdom and France, and has sold 5,000,000 copies worldwide. The accompanying music video was written, directed, and edited by Russell Mulcahy. It was the first music video shown on MTV in the US, airing at 12:01 a.m. on 1 August 1981, and the first video shown on MTV Classic in the UK on 1 March 2010. It was also the final music video played on MTV Music in the UK before it closed down on 31 December 2025. The song has received several critical accolades, such as being ranked number 40 on VH1's "100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the '80s". The song has also been covered by many recording artists, including Ben Folds Five, The Presidents of the United States of America, Robbie Williams, and Erasure. Don't forget to Subscribe!
