First black female artist on mtv. Here is a list of the ten black artists who dominated the era even though mtv didn't at first want to play them.

Taylor swift has created history again. In celebration of the launch of mtv, take a trip down memory lane with the first ten videos that mtv aired below. The mtv video music award for best female video is one of the original general awards that has been handed out every year since the first annual mtv video music awards in 1984.

I have no idea why michael jackson's billie jean always gets the credit as the first black artist's video on mtv ? Those who were in mtv's rotation included eddy grant, tina turner and donna summer. Michael jackson is simply the goat when it comes to this medium, and it’s actually not close.

The pop diva was also the first black female artist to receive the iconic moon man. To celebrate mtv’s 40th anniversary, thegrio is highlighting 10 black artists who elevated the art form of the music video. The first video by a black artist to receive heavy rotation on the network, “billie jean” opened up the door for other artists of color to be featured on mtv.

The second black artist to ever be played on the network, (prince was officially the first despite what is widely believed, more on that later) had it not. She had songs like pull up to the bumper and demolition man that came out in 1981….the same year that mtv started. Prince's 1999 video had premiere on mtv in december 1982, according the vault book.

Janet jackson received the @vmas vanguard award at the age of 24, the youngest to receive it. In 2007, however, the award was briefly renamed female artist of the year, and it awarded the artist's whole body of work for that year rather than a specific video.in 2008, though, the award returned to its original name. The first video by a black artist to receive heavy rotation on the network, “billie jean” opened up the door for other artists of color to be featured on mtv.

Mj's first music video off thriller, billie jean had premiere on mtv march 1983. He is the best selling artist of all time. Michael was the first black person to have videos aired regularly on mtv.

I seem to remember grace jones being on mtv before either prince or michael jackson. It's common knowledge by now that beyonce runs the world, but her latest venture is still a nice reminder of that. During mtv's first few years on the air, very few black artists were included in rotation on the channel.

This would have been befo. Mtv's first day on the air was rebroadcast on vh1 classic in 2006 and again in 2011 (the latter celebrating the channel's 30th anniversary). Get to know the 8 female artists nominated for their first mtv vmas.
