  1. Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.

It's not easy to compete with Madonna and Justin ripping each other's bodies apart -- literally -- on their quest to save us all (from what, though, I'm not sure) in "4 Minutes" -- which came in at #2 on today's TRL Top Collaborations countdown -- or Madonna and Britney almost-but-not-quite making out in "Me Against the Music," which made a respectable #5. But four scantily clad ladies dressed like a tramped-n-revamped version of Cirque du Sluttay -- plus Missy Elliott -- managed to edge out Madge, Brit and Justin and make history too.

Mya, Christina Aguilera -- lookin' like the bride of Frankenstein's trashier step sister, Lil' Kim -- looking surprisingly more sophisticated than usual -- and Pink, looking like the hottest ringleader evar stole the show away from the Moulin Rouge!, the movie, in 2001 when their remake of "Lady Marmalade" (LaBelle originally recorded it back in 1974) became the second song in chart history to hit number one without being released as a commercial single.

But less boring history, more grunting, gyrating, and singing about brothels.

Watch "Lady Marmalade," and check out the rest of TRL's top video collabos here.

We see you, Maino. And we see a significantly higher production value than the original "Hi Hater" video, which truly looked like it was shot on someone's Razr.

And we also see you, T.I., and you, Fabolous, and Swizz Beatz (killed it!), you, Jadakiss, and Mya, lookin' all relaxed and comfy and stuff. Welcome back, girl! Seriously, this is by far my favorite Mya collabo since "Ghetto Superstar."

Watch Maino's "Hi Hater Remix" video -- you get far more gratuitous pec shots on Maino's behalf. Looks like someone's been hittin' the Bowflex!

And speaking of "Ghetto Superstar," check out this old-school TRL clip from 1998 and marvel over how much Maino looks like Old Dirty Bastard (R.I.P!):
