Encyclopedia
Total Request Live is a television series on MTV
that featured popular music video
s. TRL was MTV's prime outlet for music videos as the network continues to concentrate on reality-based programming
. In addition to music videos, TRL featured daily guests. The show was a popular promotion tool used by musicians, actor
s, and other celebrities to promote their newest works to the show's target teen demographic.
TRL played the top ten most requested videos of the day, as requested by viewers who voted online for their favorite video. The countdown started with the tenth most requested video and ended with the most requested. As of October 22, 2007, TRLs countdown was based on votes, charts, ringtones, download, radio airplay, and streams, meaning that the most user requested video might not have been the number 1 video. The show generally aired Monday through Thursday for one hour, though the scheduling and length of the show fluctuated over the years. Despite the word "Live" in the title of the show, many episodes were actually pre-recorded.
It was announced on September 15, 2008 that TRL would be shut down and replaced with FNMTV
. The special three-hour finale aired on November 16, 2008, at 8 p.m.
Until 2010, a local version of TRL was still running in Italy
on MTV
.
(originally hosted by British
VJ Toby Amies
) from the newly opened MTV studios
in Times Square
in New York. MTV Live featured celebrity interviews, musical performances, and regular news updates. Though producers downplay the similarities, MTV Live shared several signature elements with Much On Demand, a live show on MuchMusic
, a Canadian competitor's channel, including its Good Morning America
-styled format of windows displaying onlookers on a metropolitan street. Music videos were not the major focus of the program.
During the same time period, MTV aired a countdown show simply called Total Request
, hosted by Carson Daly
. Total Request was far more subdued, as Daly introduced music videos from an empty, dimly lit set. As the show progressed and gained more momentum with viewers tuning in, it was soon added to the list of daytime programming during MTV's Summer Share in Seaside Heights
, New Jersey
. The countdown would prove to be one of the most watched and most interactive shows in recent MTV history, demonstrating that it had potential to become an even larger success by combining with the element of live television.
program.
The original host of TRL, Carson Daly
, brought popularity to the show. The widely known abbreviation of TRL was adopted as the official title of the show in February 1999, after Daly and Dave Holmes
began using the abbreviation on-air regularly. Since then, the program has rarely been referred to as its complete title, Total Request Live. The Countdown started off successfully while receiving hundreds of votes for Original Favorite Stars such as Hanson
, Aaliyah
, Eminem
, Britney Spears
, 'N Sync
, and Backstreet Boys
.
TRL spent its first year developing a cult-type following. In the fall of 1999, a live studio audience was added to the show. By spring 2000, the countdown reached its peak, becoming a very recognizable pop culture icon in its first two years of existence. A weekend edition of the show known as TRL Weekend, with a countdown consisting an average of the week's Top 10, aired for a short time in 2000.
In 2001, the popularity of TRL was at such a level that it spawned a country music spin-off
, CMT Most Wanted Live
, on sister network CMT
, until 2004.
Some evolutionary changes were made to TRL throughout the next couple of years. The show received a new set and on-screen graphics for the debut of the fall 2001 season. A year later, on October 23, 2002, TRL celebrated its 1,000th episode. The #1 video on that day was "Dirrty
" by Christina Aguilera
. Also throughout the year of 2002, original host Carson Daly would be seen gradually less and less.
's Last Call
, which premiered a year earlier. Since Daly stepped down, a revolving door of VJs have hosted TRL, including Damien Fahey
, Hilarie Burton
, Vanessa Minnillo
, Quddus
, La La Vasquez, and Susie Castillo
. Some of these VJs made their debut on the show in earlier years, so they already had the opportunity to host the show on days in which Carson Daly was not present.
Some changes were made to TRLs voting process in 2005. The show previously allowed anyone to vote online multiple times, but as part of these changes, only registered members on MTV.com could vote online. Additionally, a limit of one vote per day was added. Then, on July 10, 2006, MTV announced that votes would no longer be taken by phone, ending the legacy of the "DIAL MTV" phone number, which had been in use for voting on MTV since the premiere of the countdown show Dial MTV
in the mid-1980s.
In September 2006, TRL reached its eighth anniversary, and it continues to be the longest-running live program that MTV has ever produced. It is also the third longest-running program of all time in the network's history, following behind The Real World
, which has aired for the past 14 years, and 120 Minutes
, which aired for 17 years. Around this time, TRL began airing officially on just four days a week (Monday through Thursday), as opposed to all five weekdays.
On November 2, 2006, TRL debuted what was billed as the first ever hip-hop public service announcement
on global warming
. The three-minute piece, titled "Trees," warned about deforestation and the dangers of global warming. The video corresponded with MTV's social campaign, Break the Addiction, as part of think MTV.
The hosts of TRL, in 2008, were Damien Fahey
and Lyndsey Rodrigues
. Additionally, Stephen Colletti
, former cast member on Laguna Beach
, has appeared on TRL as host numerous times. The rest of the VJs are or have been working on separate projects. La La Vasquez went on to go work on her debut rap album . Former VJ Hilarie Burton
left TRL sometime between 2003 and 2004 after joining the cast of The WB
/ CW's One Tree Hill
playing Peyton Sawyer
. She left One Tree Hill at the end of its sixth season
and currently portrays Sara Ellis on the USA
's series White Collar
. Burton has also been focusing on her production company, Southern Gothic Productions and has appeared in a few independent movies. Quddus
is working on a movie.
On May 22, 2007, TRL celebrated its 2000th episode, showing highlights from the past 2000 episodes, and a special countdown of ten of the most successful videos to ever appear on the show. Justin Timberlake
's "Cry Me a River
" topped the special countdown.
countdown show was to be canceled. In early 2007, an average of 373,000 viewers regularly watched the program. New York Daily News
were one of the first to publish this rumor. In February 2007, MTV said the rumor was unfounded and claimed TRL will continue to air for the foreseeable future.
The producers of TRL experimented with web-based viewer interaction throughout the 2006–2007 season, showing viral videos, allowing viewers to send feedback on a video via internet forum
s and webcams, along with a heavy emphasis on MTV's since discontinued Overdrive video portal. However, MTV still secretly planned to cancel the show and replace one with even more emphasis on viewer interaction, named YouRL (a homophone
of URL
.)
Consequently, in July 2007, it was reported that YouRL was not received well by test audiences and that the concept of YouRL has been abandoned for the time being. Total Request Live proceeded with a new season as usual on September 4, marking the tenth season of the show.
On September 15, 2008 it was announced that TRL would be shut down. The final regular weekday episode aired on November 13, 2008 with guest Seth Green
and The All-American Rejects
. The Rejects spent the entire episode assisting in the tear down of the set which was a theme for the episode. At the end of the episode, Lindsey and Damien cooperatively added the last step in the demolition process by shutting down all the lights. Preceding was a montage of cast and crew members saying their goodbyes by waving to the camera.
A three hour special marking the end of the show aired on November 16, 2008. Several artists made appearances, including Ludacris
, Snoop Dogg
, Nelly
, Beyoncé Knowles
, 50 Cent
, Fall Out Boy
, Backstreet Boys
, Justin Timberlake
, Kid Rock
, JC Chasez, Christina Aguilera
, Travis Barker
, Taylor Swift
, Hilary Duff
, Eminem
, and Korn
's Jonathan Davis
. Former host Carson Daly told Joyce Eng of TV Guide in an interview that the rise of the Internet's role in mass media influenced the change of the series.
The last music video to be played on TRL (during the final episode) was " ...Baby One More Time
" by Britney Spears, being the video that made number one on the countdown as the most iconic videos of all time.
TRL is widely viewed as the show that launched the careers of many teen artists from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Without the popularity and influence of TRL, the following artists may not have enjoyed the amount of success they achieved.
s like The Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync
reached success before TRL began in the fall of 1998, both groups only reached their commercial peaks after their videos were seen on TRL. In 1999, the Backstreet Boys' second LP, Millennium
, achieved the highest first week sales ever from an LP.
'N Sync also appeared on TRL in 2000, when their second LP, No Strings Attached, topped the Backstreet Boys' first week sales. Once again, the large number of fans in attendance closed down the streets of Times Square. Throughout most of 1998, 1999, and 2000, videos by the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC would claim the #1 position on the countdown.
like Britney Spears
, Christina Aguilera
, and Jessica Simpson
all made their music debuts on TRL as well. Britney and Christina became regulars on the show and would often appear as a guest. When the Backstreet Boys or 'N Sync did not have a current video on the countdown, a video by Spears or Aguilera would most likely take the #1 position. Simpson wouldn't enjoy the same type of success until two years later, when she released "Irresistible" video, which reached at number two on the countdown. Mandy Moore
saw success on the show with her debut single's "Candy
" in 1999 and "I Wanna Be with You", but did not get her first number one video until her 2002 single "Crush
" which she also performed on the show.
Jessica Simpson
's younger sister Ashlee Simpson
is another pop princess that has had some success on TRL with her first music video "Pieces of Me
" in 2004. Ashlee Simpson had 3 videos in the # 1 and one close to retirement, Ashlee had a first # 1 video than her sister Jessica. She would go on to score a number of #1 videos on the show.
The artist with the most retirees videos is pop princess Britney Spears
with 13 videos retired, an honorary retired video (I'm a Slave 4 U) and 3 videos retired # 1.
An unusual pop princess streak occurred in March 2007: The number one and number two spots were women for every show. There was no other month in the history of TRL where every show had a woman at the top spot.
" which peaked at number 3, and "Say OK
" which only made it to #10. The Jonas Brothers have had their songs "Hold On
", and "SOS
" premiere, "SOS" made it on the countdown peaking at a dismal #6. "When You Look Me in the Eyes
" was on the charts for several weeks before peaking at #1, after fans crushed and flooded the TRL site by requesting hundreds of times on March 19, 2008. "Burnin' Up
" has also made it to the #1 spot on TRL. Aly & AJ
's videos for "Rush
", "Chemicals React
" and "Potential Breakup Song
" have all been on the countdown with "Rush" peaking at #2 "Chemicals React" peaking at #4, and "Potential Breakup Song" peaking at #5. Miley Cyrus
's "7 Things
" premiered on TRL and reached #4 on the show.
This shows on that particular day that video was the top video of the day.
