List of Total Request Live retired videos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On the MTV music video countdown show Total Request Live, if a video spends 50 days on the TRL top 10, it becomes retired and can no longer be voted onto the countdown. The original number of days was 65, however, in an attempt to get newer music on the countdown, MTV decreased the number to 50 days. Artists receive a special plaque from TRL when their video retires. However, on October 10, 2006, MTV decreased the number to 40 days due to the fact that the show is no longer aired on Fridays.
