Our round-up of the year continues with the most head-scratchingly diffcult one of the lot: this is where Promo News's contributors have picked their favourite videos of the past 12 months. Tough job, especially after all those Christmas parties... 

A lot of videos you'd probably expect to see are present and correct. Needless to say, its a very fine selection, from a year that saw some fantastic achievements in the medium and the art and craft of music video. So, in alphabetical order, here are Promo's Top 20 Favourite videos of 2014.
