The first video that aired on MTV in 1981 was Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles. How fitting!

In honor of their 30th anniversary, check out a brief history of the network and a collection of the first videos MTV played here!

Happy Birthday, MTV! In which you remind us that we are turning 30 this year, too. Ouch.
