MTV might not be playing music videos all day long anymore, but we're still binging them on YouTube. Some of the most iconic songs of the recent decade are remembered because of the memorable visuals that went with them — what would Beyoncé's "Hold Up" [1] be without her video? (That's not a real question; it'd still be everything!) But if you ask us, the ones that stand out the most in our heads are those that feature some extra star power.
