[MUSIC] Coinage. Life, well spent. Presented by Geico. With the launch of MTV in 1981, music videos became an important part of promotion for artists. Some budgets have reached feature film worthy heights. Here are the top seven reportedly Most Expensive Music Videos of all time. In 2016, Gwen Stefani filmed a music video, Make Me LikeYou live during the Grammy's. With multiple sets, costume changes and colorful background dancers, the first live video in TV history cost $4 million. Part of a trilogy Guns N' Roses' Estranged music video includes a bizarre sub-plot and holographic dolphins, all of which set the band back $4 million. King of Pop Michael Jackson moonwalks on this list with 1991 hit Black or White. The worldly music video directed by National Lampoon's own John Landis cost $4 million to produce. The Material Girl proved she is all about the cash. Madonna's Bedtime Story and Express Yourself cost her a whopping $5 million each to produce. Her James Bond theme song Die Another Day topped both, costing $6.1 million to make. Siblings Michael and Janet Jackson spent the most on their song Scream. Their futuristic black and white feature cost the brother-sister due $7 million. [BLANK_AUDIO] Coinage, life, well spent. Presented by Geico.

The 2017 MTV Video Music Awards have finally arrived! The biggest names in the music industry have gathered at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif., for a night of celebrations and performances where host Katy Perry—who earned five VMA nominations and is set to perform—will help honor this year's nominees and winners.

MTV made a major change to the show's format by saying goodbye to the Best Female Video and Best Male Video awards as separate categories and combining them into the single Artist of the Year award. They previously dismissed gendered categories at the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards.

Kendrick Lamar led the pack with a total eight nominations for his “Humble.” video, closely followed by The Weeknd, who scored five nods along with Perry.

In addition, one new category, Best Fight Against the System, has been created to celebrate projects that inspire and uplift others.

So who’s up for Video of the Year, the show's biggest award? Lamar faces Bruno Mars, Alessia Cara, DJ Khaled (with Rihanna and Bryson Tiller), and the Weeknd. Pop favorites Shawn Mendes, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Fifth Harmony, Miley Cyrus, and Perry will also battle it out for the Best Pop award.

Catch the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Aug. 27, from 8 p.m. ET on MTV.
