United Kingdom
Top of the Pops (TOTP) began showing music videos in the late 1970's. A good video would increase a song's sales as viewers hoped to see it again the next following week. In 1980 David Bowie scored his first UK number one with David Mallets promo for Ashes to Ashes.
In 1975, Queen made a promo video for their single Bohemian Rhapsody to show it on TOTP.
Pink Floyd The Wall transformed the group's 1979 double LP of the same title into a "confrontational and apocalyptic audio-visual labyrinth of stylized, expressionistic images, sounds, melodies and lyrics."
