Britney Spears, Lady GaGa, Michael Jackson top Billboard video polls

Billboard has released the results for its top ten best music video polls.

Readers were asked to vote for their favorite pop videos from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s to celebrate the 30th anniversary of MTV.

Michael Jackson topped the '80s poll with his iconic 'Thriller' video, beating Madonna's 'Like A Prayer' to the top spot. Cyndi Lauper's 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun' trailed both in third position.

Britney Spears won the '90s poll with her school-based promo for 'Baby One More Time', which gained 40% of the total vote. Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson came second with their collaboration 'Scream', while Madonna placed third with 'Vogue'.

Lady GaGa led the '00s poll with her cinematic 'Bad Romance' video, which won 'Video Of The Year' at the 2010 MTV VMAs. Spears's video for 'Toxic' came in second, while Panic! At The Disco's 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies' tallied at number three.

Jackson marginally failed to have a third consecutive top three entry, with his 2001 video for 'You Rock My World' voted in at four.

The Jackson family recently announced plans to hold a tribute concert at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium for Michael this October.
