Despite starring in big Hollywood films and producing chart-topping singles, J. Lo strives to remain the same person born and raised in The Bronx. An ode to the singer's past self and present super-stardom, "Jenny from the Block" highlights Lopez's upbringing, even if the video's massive yacht and a cameo by ex-boyfriend Ben Affleck did little to support the lyrics' message. Although the song toes the line between iconic and infamous, "Jenny from the Block" presents the singer at the height of her media fame better than nearly every other of her videos.

Top 20 Most Romantic Music Videos of All Time

#4: “Medicine” (2019)
Two decades after taking the music scene by storm with “If You Had My Love," Jenny from the Block still knows how to put together an eye-catching cinematic extravaganza! Song-wise, "Medicine" is reminiscent of the singer's earlier sound, but the music video sees Lopez exploring fresh, almost surreal territory. After all these years, a highly polished aesthetic is par for the course; yet, "Medicine's" carnival visual themes are a sight to behold even in comparison with Lopez's impressive videography. J.

Basically, take your average sword and sorcery TV series, drench the throne room in gold, and the end result should be "El Anillo." Be it the sets, the flawless costumes, or provocative choreography; every frame of "El Anillo's" video oozes self-assurance and power.
#2: “Dinero” (2018)
In the world of braggadocios pop anthems, massive mansions and private jets are nothing out of the ordinary. Despite repeating many of the same beats as other modern music videos, "Dinero" rises above its contemporaries through sheer class and conviction. Shot in black-and-white, "Dinero" serves as a testament to Jennifer Lopez's undeniable magnetism, as the pop star dominates each and every scene despite being surrounded by so much valuable real estate. While Cardi B. and DJ Khaled also deserve credit for the video's success, "Dinero" is J. Lo's show from beginning to end. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. “I Luh Ya Papi” (2014) “I’m Glad” (2003) “I'm Real (Murder Remix)” (2001) “Limitless” “First Love” (2014)
#1: “Waiting for Tonight” (1999)
Standing Eight Waiting
Released two months prior to the turn of the century, "Waiting for Tonight" embodies the distinct pre-Y2K mood better than most other videos of the time. Lopez had already scored a few hits, but this October 1999 single firmly installed the multi-talented celebrity as the music scene's dancing queen. The track is fantastic on its own; that being said, the music video is just as – if not more – iconic than the actual song. Few pop culture scenes are as well-known as a sparkling Jennifer Lopez energetically dancing in a jungle filled with green lasers.
