While the other two, by Chicago and Whitney Houston remained w/o video for the rest of their Hot 100 chart-runs. There wasn't a video for Whitney's "Love Will Save The Day", but there was a video for Chicago's "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love": www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vh2YUp-8cc

In 1999, I saw a column on Billboard's web site which stated that, since the charts had begun indicating whether songs had videos (late 1984), only five songs had reached #1 on the Hot 100 without a video being available: Jan Hammer -- "Miami Vice Theme" (1985) Boston -- "Amanda" (1986) Michael Jackson -- "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (1987) Tiffany -- "Could've Been" (1988) Sheriff -- "When I'm With You" (1989) When I posted this information in a newsgroup at the time the article ran, the consensus was that "Miami Vice Theme" in fact had a video; it was unclear why the article claimed otherwise. Several people also reported having seen "Could've Been" on MTV, but this was believed to an "unoffical" video edited from a multi-song live performance clip, in the absence of an official video for the song. Why this song wouldn't have had a video made for it is a mystery to me.
As for the others, Boston was an old-school band from the pre-MTV era making a comeback. Their comeback was big enough news, and MTV's influence still enough of a relatively recent trend (especially with their AOR base), that they were able to get away without making a video and still have a #1 hit. I believe that Jackson purposefully didn't make a video for "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" in an attempt to get people to focus on the music. As the lead single from the follow-up to Thriller, the song was guaranteed to get attention from radio and the public no matter what. "When I'm With You" apparently didn't have a video made when the song was new because the band was relatively unknown, and videos still weren't quite universal yet. By the time the song became a hit, the band had long since broken up. It's really amazing that this song was able to hit #1 in 1989 without a video.
Note that the last song on the list is from 1989. Assuming that the article was correct, every #1 hit from 1989 through the article's date of publication apparently had a video.

Michael Jackson -- "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (1987) Tiffany -- "Could've Been" (1988) Several people also reported having seen "Could've Been" on MTV, but this was believed to an "unoffical" video edited from a multi-song live performance clip, in the absence of an official video for the song. Why this song wouldn't have had a video made for it is a mystery to me. I believe that Jackson purposefully didn't make a video for "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" in an attempt to get people to focus on the music. As the lead single from the follow-up to Thriller, the song was guaranteed to get attention from radio and the public no matter what. If you look at Tiffany's first video, you can tell the label didn't want to invest a lot of money in promo videos from her first LP. She was quite busy making appearances after her sudden success (no more shopping malls). Her appearance on Solid Gold performing "Could've Been" is now a cherished video. Regarding MJ, there were a number of other possible factors: 1. Busy making the "Bad" short film and the many other videos from this LP. 2. He usually didn't share the spotlight with duet partners in videos ("Say Say Say" was the exception). 3. His videos were creative events and a soft love song would have limited creativity. 4. But the primary reason (as you mentioned) is the lead-off duet single did not need a promo video because there was already hype generated. Similar to the first single from "Thriller", also a duet. I very much doubt it had anything to do with MJ wanting people to focus on the music.

Wonder if the Chicago and Whitney Houston songs from 1988 remain without an official video?

Wonder if the Chicago and Whitney Houston songs from 1988 remain without an official video? Brian On its 21st and final week on Hot 100, Chicago’s “I Don’t Wannna Live Without You Love” (#90 for weekending Oct. 22, 1988) was still without a video-clip (and therefore w/o diamond notation on Hot 100). And as the official video poster on youtube points out, this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vh2YUp-8cc was actually pulled after a few airings. As for Whitney Houston’s “Love Will Save a Day”: It was also without a video clip on its last week on Hot 100 (#100 for weekending Oct. 15, 1988)

Now, I have a question about a non #1 song. There's wasn't a video for Madonna's "Rescue Me," was there? I used to see one on some central Florida radio station simulcasting on local TV in the mornings. They used clips of her prior videos (including some of the banned JML.) Was this a common practice ever? You are correct. There wasn't a promo for "Rescue Me". The video with clips strung together is often mistaken for a promo. But that doesn't fit my definition of a promo. Nor is simply editing clips from a movie. I usually put an asterisk on non-studio (live) performances or simply label them as "live promo" and place them in a separate category. Those were just substitutes that saved the label and artist the time and expense of producing legitimate promos. I have a more narrow definition of what constitutes a promo video, while others will accept a broader definition. Yes but in some cases things like The Show Must Go On by Queen was a released video as a promo clip. But it was just clips of prior videos set to the song. That counts IMHO. As for Up Where We Belong, I distinctly remember seeing some sort of video at some point or another, just not a memorable enough one to know for sure.

Where MJ is concerned, He also didn't make actual videos for Off The Wall, She's Out Of My Life, Human Nature, PYT, Wanna be Startin Somethin' & The Girl is Mine.

I remember videos for Open Arms, All I Need and Why Can't This Be Love.

. I remember videos for Open Arms, All I Need and Why Can't This Be Love. The week that All I Need & Why Can't This Be Loved dropped out of Top 10, Billboard Magazine did not note there was a video clip available for these. The Van Halen song had a concert video months after song fell off chart. Jack Wagner's song was performed on tv shows like General Hospital, American Bandstand & Solid Gold. I know that MTV recorded Journey in concert in Houston in 1981. I would place Open Arms as a live performance was used for video channel play. In the 3/6/82 issue of Billboard, MTV gave out a list of songs & artist that were in rotation but did not acknowledge Journey for some reason but did acknowledge Blue Oyster Cult "Burning For You" and Quarterflash "Harden My Heart".(Page 12-13)

Really? Wow, had never seen it and figured with no video for Off The Wall, he wouldn't do one for the follow up single...

Miami Vice Theme was listed without video availability when it hit number one on the November 9, 1985 Billboard chart.
