The American duo the White Stripes has released four video albums and has been featured in over twenty music videos. From their third album White Blood Cells (2001), the White Stripes released videos for the singles "Hotel Yorba", "We're Going to Be Friends", "Fell in Love with a Girl", and "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground". The third of these received three MTV Video Music Awards and a nomination for Video of the Year. [1] The band's fourth studio album Elephant (2003) released the music videos for their signature song "Seven Nation Army" and "The Hardest Button to Button", which netted further accolades. The following year, the band released their first concert film Under Blackpool Lights (2004), which spawned the live video "Jolene". Their final two albums, Get Behind Me Satan (2005) and Icky Thump (2007), produced videos including "Blue Orchid" and Conquest", which were nominated for more MTV Video Music Awards. [2] [3] The band issued a second concert film, Under Great White Northern Lights (2010), which won the Grammy Award for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package and a nomination for Best Music Film.
