What is up, peeps! It is Sunday and BOY, am I late on this update. First off, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Being with your family, overeating and lots of football. Yep, it is what makes America great. Except for the Indians because…you know.
So because I was out of the loop on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (especially Friday and Saturday, mainly because I got a fucking ticket on Friday and ranted until 2:30am about stuff at Nolan’s on Saturday) my schedule is all off whack. So today is a Very Special Sunday edition of….
THE CHACHI TOP 20 COUNTDOWN!!!
20. RBD (Rebelde) – Ser O Parecer (New Entry)
IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME! Picked up Celestial with Nolan, Zach and Nick before it was released to the public (yeah, we gots it like that) and after just dumping it on the iPod…I have no idea what they are talking about. But it doesn’t matter because they are HAWT. Except Diego, who fucking sucks.
19. Nelly Furtado – Say It Right (New Entry)
Mmmm, can’t go wrong with more Nelly Furtado. I just heard this song the other day because I STILL don’t own the album yet. Also, All Good Things (Come To An End) came out I think two weeks ago and I likes that video, too. I may just run and grab the album today. Anyway, enjoy this video.
18. Young Dro - Rubber Band Banks (Last Week # 17)
Well, no new single out and a video that doesn’t have the same luster to it. However, check out some of Young Dro’s freestyle work. It aint too shabby.
17. Bi (Rain) – I’m Coming (New Entry)
DID YOU SEE THAT VIDEO?! Can you say epic, peeps? Hells yes. J.T. and Se7en are officially on notice. This is the greatest dance sequence EVER. Pelvic thrusts = screaming fans. Note to self: work that into the boy band dance moves.
16. Pushim, RHYMESTER, HOME MADE KAZOKU, MABOROSHI, May J – I Say Yeah (Last Week #19)
Yeah, this song is beginning to annoy the people that ride with me. It is on all the time and for good reason. This song is pretty damn bad ass. Oh, and I must mention again; May J is hot. Really hot.
15. Bennie K feat. Tsuyoshi – Rensou Game (Last Week # 13)
Yeah, this song drops a little more this week. You know, The Bennie K Show 2: On The Floor wasn’t bad for an EP. Had five good songs and well worth the purchase. Unlink the Kumi Koda DVD/CD I got. And the DVD isn’t region free like the box says! Assholes. Even still, there is more Bennie K on the way. Don’t fret peeps.
14. Game – It’s Okay (Last Week #10)
So it is finally out. The Doctor’s Advocate is in stores now and I got a good listen to it while out on Saturday. It actually wasn’t that bad. It was surprisingly good. Nowhere near as good as RBD (few things are) but it was one of the best hip-hop albums of this year. Good job, Game. Your reward is falling 4 spots.
13. Bowling For Soup – High School Never Ends (Last Week #15)
The more I live life, the more I see that this video speaks the truth. For some people, high school never DOES end. People still act like idiots around the opposite sex, people still have their little cliques and people still are jealous of the smart. Yep, first the banana man at NDK and now this. Carry on, Bowling for Soup. Carry on.
12. Se7en – I Wanna… (Last Week #7, Plunge of the Week)
Yeah, Se7en has officially fallen behind Bi in the coolness factor. After I’m Coming, he needs come correct to top THAT. I’m just saying, pelvic thrusts make the pop video. Rapid pelvic thrusts just RULE. I am taking note for the boy band.
11. John Legend – Heaven (Last Week #14)
Just outside the Top 10, John Legend has his first video of the Top 20 Countdown. Still pisses me off to see R. Kelly getting more airplay, but thems the breaks because people don’t know good music for the most part.
10. Game – Let’s Ride (Last Week #12)
The Game has his second video on the countdown this week. Like I said, I am a fan of Game (well, I’m more of a non-fan of Curtis ‘Silverback’ Jackson) but I am not a fan of the video as much as I am a fan of the song. Like I have said before, it harkens back to the days of middle school. A simpler time when the West Coast ruled the Springs. WESTSIDE!
9. UVERworld - Shamrock (Last Week #6, #1 for three weeks)
So I finally have my crew digging the UVERworld I must say it is about time. After hearing Just Melody a while back I thought they were awesome. Then I heard D-Technolife on Bleach and it has been all about the ‘World ever since. Also, this song has not only been on the Countdown since the first one in September, it has been in the Top 10 the WHOLE time. That is staying power, peeps.
8. Bennie K – Joy Trip (Last Week #11)
Yes. All I can say is yes. This song initially seemed kind of hokey, but it has grown on me quite a bit. Besides, you KNOW you wanted to see J-Country. I know I did.
7. Jay Z – Give Me What You Got (Last Week # 8)
So I just bought Kingdom Come on Tuesday. I got it, listened to it at work (because I fucking HATE THAT PLACE. Yeah, I said it) and all I can say is….
WE WAITED THREE YEARS FOR THAT?
My god, man. Don’t get me wrong, it was OKAY. But much like Micheal Jordan, his come back was kind of average. Maybe it was expectation; maybe I have just lost my mind. I just think that this album isn’t his best work. It isn’t even his third best work. It is just average. After hearing what the man can do, it is kind of a letdown.
6. Soul’d Out – Starlight Destiny (Last Week # 9)
Diggy-Mo and company are slowly and surely making their way to the Top 5. This song is up there with Dream Drive and To All Tha Dreamers (GREATEST. DANCE SONG. EVER.) in their body of work although all of their videos look the EXACT SAME. Even still, it’s a diggable jam.
5. JoJo – Too Little, Too Late (Last Week #4)
Ooohh, a short stay in the Top Five for JoJo. She kind of (DEFINITLY) needs a new video. The album aint bad, get to cracking. Also, I am not a fan of jail. And she is kind of hot. In a jailbait kind of way. Which is WRONG, peeps. Wrong, but oh so right.
4. Justin Timberlake feat. T.I. – My Love (Last Week # 5)
Well DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! J.T. and T.I. in the same place at the same time is a guaranteed hit! Second Top Five hit for J.T. and second guest appearance Top Five hit for T.I. Oh, and pop kicks ass. I don’t care what anyone says.
3. John Legend – Save Room (Last Week #1, #1 for five weeks)
The king has been removed from his throne! John Legend is out of the top spot after holding it for more than a month. Congrats to John Legend for his five weeks at the top. I still groove to this when I drive back from the Mouth of Hades on Fridays. Oh, and give the album a spin. It is a great listen. Time for the top two…
2. Nelly Furtado – Maneater (Last Week #2)
Once again, Ms. Furtado is held to number two. Not a bad spot, seeing as she has a new video on the countdown. Even still, she is holding on and there is no shame in number two. However, we have a new number one. Well, maybe not so new.
1. UVERworld - Kimi no Suki na Uta (Last Week # 3)
Yes, that number next to that name is a 1. UVERworld has their second number one video in the short time this has been going on. This jam is on the MP3 deck in the car quite often, only being out listened to Sakura Kiss (the opening for Ouran High School Club which is so damn awesome!) Congrats to the guys! Oh, and the CD maxi single has an acoustic version of Yasashisa no Shizuku which is the MAD NOTES.
Well, that is all for the Countdown. Can UVERworld hold on next week? Or will Nelly Furtado FINALLY take her spot on top? Or can Justin Timberlake not only be the new King of Pop (oh yeah, I went there) but the new King of the Countdown? Tune in Friday when I return to my normal schedule!
Well, that is all for now, peeps. I will try to be back up during the week. Stay up, peeps. Chachi is out.
Live, Laugh and Love.
