Other music videos that were popular on MTV were:

Stuart Hall
Stuart Hall developed the concept of audience positioning as a result of examining news reports on industrial strikes.
He claimed that media representations established a framework for possible responses – this is like setting an agenda for issues to be raised with audiences.
The responses to an audience watching a media text would be likely to fall into
three main categories:
Dominant readings mean:
Audiences respond to the way narrative is constructed and adopt the points of view implied
Oppositional readings mean:
Audiences reject the way the narrative is constructed, question and challengethe points of view
implied
Negotiated readings mean:
Audiences partially accept the way the narrative is constructed but can see both points of view:
the dominant and oppositional readings
Aberrant readings
is an additional interpretation: where the text is read in a deviant and largely unanticipated
manner, the preferred reading not being recognised at all
