Info

Total Request Live was a television series on MTV that featured popular music videos. TRL was MTV's prime outlet for music videos as the network continued 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, actors, 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, TRL's 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.

TRL Audience Reviews

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
gluba2000 I'll admit I used to like this show but back when it was good!They used to have good artists on the countdown mixed in with the crappy "artists" nowadays it's a bunch of talentless whore and label product cash cows who top the TRL countdown!If you've turned it onto TRL recently you can see that the TRL demographic has turned from it's bubble gum pop thing to it's "punk/sk8er" phase with the oh so talented (yeah right!) Simple Plan and Ashlee Simpson topping the TRL charts!Then they slowly started showing less and less of the music video.Nowadays they only play about 5 seconds of the video to squeeze in the "next big thing" or how they're kissing whoever's ass is their that day.Carson has left the show and he made it more bearable to watch.Is it me or am I the only one who find the black hosts of this show to be so stereotyped with the "hey y'all!"'s and the "fo' sho!"'s always said!This show used to be good but it has slowly made it to unbearable.You can tell when the show's viewers have gone through phases...right now it's at it's "sk8er/punk" phase...it also has a ghetto phase from time to time where the pathetic suburban kids dress just like their street homies G Unit!I just felt like putting in my 2 cents on this terrible show!
cheeseboy80 This is the most annoying show on the face of this earth. This show doesn't play any real music. It's all teenybopper c**p like The Backdoor Boys and 'N Sucks. Whatever happen to the music that I grew up with. I can't stand Carson Daly. He's extremely annoying. Face it, this show is show. It's only for little teenyboppers, Real music fans STAY AWAY FROM THIS GOD AWFUL SHOW!!!
killeo What has happened to MTV over the last couple of years? TRL is one of the few shows that actually plays music videos. Screw the REAL WORLD and ROAD RULES. I want videos. TRL at least attempts it if you like the POP genre, a.k.a. the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync. At least we get to see KOrN every once in a while.
smsleepy This show is terrific! I really love it. Yeah N'Sync and BSB may stay at #1 and #2. But oh well! It's the votes of the people. So I guess Korn just don't have as many fans as N'Sync and BSB obviously do. Pop is coming back! It's a pop takeover and I'm totally loving it! TRL is just the way those major pop fans show their loyalty. It's so great.
