Monday was an unusually big day for music videos. Entertainment platform VEVO debuted videos from One Direction ("Best Song Ever"), Selena Gomez ("Slow Down" — the official, not the leak), Chris Brown ("Love More," ft. Nicki Minaj), Kelly Rowland ("Dirty Laundry") and Limp Bizkit ("Ready to Go," ft. Lil Wayne).

Of particular interest are the One Direction and Gomez clips, the latter of which is officially premiering on the singer-actress' 21st birthday.

One Direction

"Best Song Ever" has One Direction donning double personas, as Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson play studio execs, Zayn Malik swaps clothes with a sexy assistant, Harry Styles stands in as a marketing guy and Liam Payne tries his luck as a dance choreographer. The song is the promotional single for One Direction's forthcoming 3D movie This Is Us, which will be released in UK theaters on Aug. 29, and one day later in the U.S.

Selena Gomez

Gomez shows off a racier side in her latest video, which serves as a follow-up to the first single off Stars Dance, "Come and Get It." She also gifted herself with a little birthday present on her official YouTube channel:

Chris Brown

"Love More," the third single off Brown's album X, follows "Fine China" and "Don't Think They Know." X is reportedly expected to feature Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Kelly Rowland, B.o.B. and Wiz Khalifa, among other collaborations. Brown's sixth studio album is scheduled for an end-of-summer release this year.

Kelly Rowland

In this emotional video, Rowland recalls an abusive relationship and competition with Beyonce, among other issues. "Dirty Laundry" is one of the singles off Talk a Good Game, the former Destiny Child singer's fourth solo album, which debuted last month.

Limp Bizkit

It's rock 'n' rap in the latest video from Limp Bizkit, "Ready to Go," which features a montage of its recent tour footage. Lil Wayne appears with Fred Durst and company on the track, which serves as the first single for the band's seventh studio album, Stampede of the Disco Elephants. Durst also recently participated in a Reddit AMA to promote the forthcoming album.
