Jefferson Starship: We Built This City (1985)
The towers are shown (usually represented in a stylized skyline) backdrop several times during the latter half of the music video, most prominently at 2:33, 3:29 (looks like just the North Tower in this one), 3:58 (don't blink), 4:01, repeatedly from 4:03 to 4:08, 4:19, 4:26, and from 4:45 through the end of the video. . - JR
The towers are shown numerous times throughout the music video, beginning with the very first shot. - JR
"Last year [2000] the Headhunters released a seventh album, 'Songs from the Grass String Ranch.' Among its songs is 'Louisiana Coco,' which also is the group's latest video. Among its images: band members hanging out at the base of the twin towers of New York City's World Trade Center. It was shot in May, long before the suicide attacks that reduced the buildings to rubble.
"'Where all that stuff's piled now, we were all in amongst that,' said Richard Young. 'It's hard to believe.'"
Seen through the window behind Fabian at approximately :36; the same shot is later repeatedly briefly.

LeAnn Rimes: Can't Fight the Moonlight
Where to find the Twin Towers:
Much of this music video consists of footage from the film Coyote Ugly; I'm pretty certain the WTC shots (first at about :60, and again at about the 3:00 mark) are from the movie.

"The music video, which was helmed by German director Marcus Nispel and filmed in the World Trade Center, features [Lil' Kim and Puff Daddy] riding up and down escaltors while rapping. ... Kim makes a reference to the video in the 2005 single 'Whoa' when she says: '...told you I'm the same bitch from the escalator...' - Wikipedia

Madonna: Like a Virgin (1984)
The WTC is easy to spot in this one, unfortunately, the (paranoid?) Warner Bros. Records won't let anyone embed the official music video. - JR
_
Madonna: Papa Don't Preach (1986)
Another music video Warner Bros. Records won't let anyone embed. The towers are seen in the first couple of split-second shots, again (just the bases of the buildings) during the little dance on the ferry beginning at 3:06, and finally at 3:57. (And, yes, "Papa" is Danny Aiello.) - JR
_
Madonna: Ray of Light (1998)
Rounding out our trio of Madonna music video Warner Bros. Records won't allow anyone to embed (and to add insult, this one is preceded by a commercial)... Several split-second shots of the WTC in this one; don't blink or you'll miss them. - JR

McBride, Martina: Wild Angels (1995)
There's some gorgeous photography in this one, making the most of NYC locations. The towers first appear at 1:08, then repeatedly (1:27; 2:01; 2:50; 3:05; 3:27; 3:53; 3:58; 4:06; 4:20; 4:27) in essentially the same shot, every time McBride sings the chorus; the nicest is the last, at 4:36. - JR
