7.

Number 7 is 'Billie Jean' by Michael Jackson in 1983, a song about threatened paternity suit and which was intended to launch his adult career. Steven Barron was the director and was told Michael had a thing for Peter Pan and was a huge believer in magic so wanted to portray this in the video. Barron had the idea of the paving stones lighting up when Michael walked on them, however he told him he could walk wherever he wanted but they only had 11 on the morning of the shoot. 'Billie Jean' topped the US singles charts for 7 weeks and opened the way for black acts to get their videos on MTV. The video magic left Michael confused and Barron took 3 takes of him and used them as split screen when Michael thought he was only going to use one.
