As we are getting new updates regularly now and, as it seems, will continue to do so, I am posting this timeline as a reminder to myself and others for when the updates came out. As I am starting to forget the dates, I would be appreciative if people helped me out on when they officially came out, as well as suggesting other updates that should be added.

For some reason they all seem to be foreign music videos, and long ones at that. Seriously, 6 minutes???? Thank goodness they have the 'skip ad' option...
