Sexism in music videos

Sexism in music videos has been around for some time, but it has recently reached a peak where many people have started to take note a what to change.
Some artists are using this as a way to build publicity for their songs, some examples are Miley Cyrus with "Wrecking Ball", and Robin Thicke "Blurred Lines".

Miley Cyrus's "Wrecking Ball" was her first number one single in the United States after the release of its controversial music video, and as of January 2014 "Wrecking Ball" sold three million copies in the United States. The reason this video caused such an outrage could be because of the contrast from the popular Disney star "Hannah Montana" who was played by the young Miley, to the singer she is today.
I think "Miley Cyrus" made this video because she wanted to get away from the typical Disney character she was expected to play while she was young. However I feel she has over done this as she has the responsibility to her younger audience to keep it suitable.

Robin Thicke's video "Blurred Lines" was a very successful song as it made number one on a varity of Billboard charts. the song went worldwide and toped charts in Australia, Canada, New Zealan, Ireland, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom, as well as reaching the top ten in other countries. The song sold over 5 million copies in 22 weeks of release in the US  and 6 million in 29 weeks. This is the fastest in digital history.
The music video was released on the 20th of March 2013 and two versions were made, the first includes models Emily Ratajkowski, Jessi M'Bengue, and Elle Evans being topless, the second has them covered. On the 30th of March 2013 the topless version of the video was removed from Youtube for violating the sites terms of service.
The song's lyrics and music video have been called controversial with some groups who claim that it promotes date rape, this led to the song being banned at universities in the United Kingdom.
It has later come out that Robin Thicke and his wife with whom he has been with for more than 20 years and have a child together are broken up, some people have said that the song "Blurred Lines" had a contribution to their break up but this has not been confirmed.
