making a music video from famous singers' tracks

[qwerty214]

Hi

I want to make a music video for a new song of a singer that didn't make a music video for his song yet.

I see a lot do this, and there is always a link at the bottom of the video generated by youtube that links to iTunes or other to buy the track.

here is an example: watch?v=ZXN1PB_M3uo

how do I go about doing that too in regards to youtube's policy ?
and do I need someone's permission ? maybe the singer’s permission ?

You do need the permission when you want to use music. If you don't they can either remove the video or like they did in this video add their own promotion on it and make revenue on the video.

Dont touch it as mentioned without permission o papper from the artist or you will get a copyright strike

..... or like they did in this video add their own promotion on it and make revenue on the video.

what promotion do you see in the video I posted ? the "iTunes" links ?

Yes the itunes link is their promotion. But the video's advertisements revenue also go to the owners of the song.
So when a banner or pre-ad is shown on the video the money will go to the creators of the song and the video will be matched third party content.
