Which song by TLC won Video of the Year at the 1995 MTV VMAs?
Answer
Waterfalls
Answer
Waterfalls
TLC’s “Waterfalls” won Video of the Year at the 1995 MTV VMAs.
The ceremony was held on September 7, 1995, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City and was hosted by Dennis Miller. TLC’s video defeated major contenders including Green Day’s “Basket Case,” Michael and Janet Jackson’s “Scream,” and Weezer’s “Buddy Holly.” The win made TLC the first African-American act to receive the Video of the Year award.
“Waterfalls” was also unusually successful that night: it won the Viewer's Choice Award as well. That made it only the third video to win both of those major honors in the same year, and the last to do so under the category structure then in place. TLC and Weezer were the ceremony’s biggest winners, earning four awards apiece. The other options in this question are TLC songs from different periods: “Unpretty” came later, “No Scrubs” was released in 1999, and “Creep” came from TLC’s earlier catalog.
