88.

Number 88 was Elton John's 'I want Love' made in 2001. He did not like appearing in music videos so they got Robert Downey Junior to perform. At this point he was in rehabilitation due to his drug addiction, so he was at a very low point in his life. He was allowed out of rehab to film this video and his personal experiences all contributed to an intense performance. There was no editing for this music video and it was all filmed in one take. Sam Taylor-Wood was the director of this video and since then stars as diverse as Justin Timberlake and Liz Taylor have appeared in Elton John's music videos instead of him.
