The awards cover the second half of 2007, reflecting the most-played videos across the MTV global network.
8,000 plays were required for platinum status and 4,000 for gold, after MTV decided to up the eligibility levels from 6,000 and 3,000 plays respectively.
Rihanna received two platinum awards - for Shut Up And Drive and Umbrella - and one gold award, for Don't Stop The Music.
Timbaland won two platinum awards, for The Way I Are - the most-played video over the six months - and Apologize (by Timbaland presents One Republic).
UK acts, however, fared badly on the list: James Blunt's 1973 received the Britain's only platinum award, while Mika's Relax (Take It Easy) and Sugababes' About You Now won gold awards. UK-signed Kylie Minogue's 2 Hearts was also certified gold.
MTV director of talent and music international Dan Waite says, "I was delighted to see when compiling this list that the top 32 videos were spun nearly a quarter of a million times across the network.
"The videos awarded gongs today are the most popular international cross over tracks. You could say that these tracks represent the base of the iceberg rather than the tip."
