**Warner coughed up millions for this Victory band, and they need to do Panic At! The Disco numbers.

Beautiful Lie
30 Seconds To Mars

TW 13,184
Total 206,011

**My oh my! What happened here? model actor/musician Jared Leto came back with a new single “The Kill” and made a good video which is reminiscence of Panic! At The Disco’s I Write Sins Not Tragedies and My Chemical Romance “Helena”. Both singers coincedently wear the “white gloves” and you get to watch the goth girls dancing simultaneously. Videos like these cost about 150k to 250k. If you want your video on MTV you need to cough up the bucks, find a good director, take acting classes and don’t forget to wear the white gloves. Rock has become a black-tie-affair.

Every Man For Himself
Hoobastank
TW 7,501
Total 126,775
**Done.
