Description

MTV revived TRL, the iconic music video countdown show that aired from 1998 to 2008. The new version underwent major changes: it had no traditional chart and was not exclusively focused on music, instead combining music with various pop-culture topics and featuring five hosts, including Vine star DC Young Fly.
