In a perfect world, most of the videos featured in The Wrap Up: The Top 10 Videos Of The Week would reach #1 in somebody’s countdown or playlist. The stakes are high and competition is even more fierce when it comes to compiling these things and this week’s lineup is a perfect example.

A great scenery is key to making an intelligent video. This week we have rappers taking advantage of the beautiful (and beautifully frozen) landscapes in the cities, hometown and adopted. And there is one artist who decided to hop on a plane to alter his environment. (Spoiler alert: it was worth it.)

And sometimes animation and imagination go a long way in conveying a story for the eyes.

Proceed on through the gallery to see glitzy entertainment, sizzling on-screen chemistry and reality scripts all rolled up in one segment.
