I'll update this list later with the MTV year end chart position and weekly countdown peak position.

There wasn't much competition for Tubthumping at all, the only notably memorable videos that charted at the time were The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" and Radiohead's "Karma Police". The quality of music videos and music in general was declining at the time, which eventually lead to the death of music on MTV.
