FKA twigs - 'M3LL155X': This 16-minute artistic vision tackles the male gaze, and physical and sexual power dynamics, with an unflinching but surrealist lens. She morphs into a sex doll which is mounted by a seedy man, before getting pregnant and pulling colourful silk cloth from between her legs.
M.I.A. - 'Borders': The ever-political rapper tackles the refugee crisis in her characteristically explicit way.
Peaches - 'Rub': Believe it or not, this is one of the tamest screenshots we could find in the video.
Rihanna - 'Bitch Better Have My Money': Rihanna and friends kidnap a wealthy white woman, strip her and tie her up in a warehouse, before edging towards something resembling friendship. At the end, it transpires that the 'bitch' in the song's subject is, in fact, her male accountant, whom she (it's implied) brutally attacks off camera, emerging covered in blood.
Lady Gaga - 'Till It Happens To You': Gaga tackled the ongoing problem of rape on college campuses with a monochromatic narrative of three different, equally upsetting, sexual assaults.
Run The Jewels - 'Close Your Eyes': Killer Mike and El-P take on police brutality against black people - an issue that's come to a head over the past year or so.
Tyga - 'Stimulate': Shocking because Kylie Jenner, who Tyga can be seen making out with in the video, was underage at the time, while Tyga was 25.
Sia - 'Elastic Heart': The video, which sees Sia's long-term dancer Maddie Ziegler and actor Shia LaBeouf acting out a highly-choreographed fight, caused controversy because of its intimate nature - which some people deemed to be inappropriate.
Lana Del Rey - 'High By The Beach': Just when you think you know where the video's going, Del Rey grabs a massive bazooka out of a guitar case and ruthlessly shoots down a helicopter.
Miley Cyrus - 'BB Talk': Miley Cyrus as some sort of overly-sexualised baby. Standard.
Mini Mansions ft. Alex Turner - 'Vertigo': Naked women stroll around behind Alex Turner as he sips seedily on a whisky, and then various disembodied body parts appear.
