48.

Number 48 on the list is Johnny Cash with his cover of 'Hurt' originally by nine inch nails. This was made in 2003 after Johnny Cash had been out of fashion for a number of years until young producer Rick Rubin decided to make this video. Cash was originally a country and western singer who always wore black. He had a tough life and performed in the toughest prison in America in front of all inmates. At this point he was very fragile so they had to shoot the video in his home due to not being able to travel. The video also incorporates footage of his as a young man in the 50s. There was also the 'House of Cash', a museum of Johnny Cash whih was closed due to the destruction via flood. This was directed by Julien Temple and Johnny Cash died six months after shooting the video in September 2003.
