It’s Friday, ya’ll! It is time for the Friday staple! Get your applesauce and crack up your speakers because it is time for the….
CHACHI TOP 20 VIDEO COUNTDOWN!!
We start with a debut video!
20. Monkey Majik feat m-flo – Picture Perfect (New Entry)
Okay, I can explain. A CANADIAN GROUP THAT DOES JAPANESE MUSIC?! I can’t explain it. I have been all about this video for about a month but with new stuff from UVERworld, John Legend and Bennie K it was hard to fit these guys in. Groovy tune and more great work by m-flo. Don’t look now, but VERBAL has THREE VIDEOS on this week. Damn, he is the T.I. of 2007. Just everywhere.
19. Koda Kumi – Twinkle (Last Week #16)
Sadly, we will soon be saying goodbye to one Koda Kumiko. It is a shame, Black Cherry has some kick ass songs on it (albeit most already have videos) and one more single couldn’t hurt. Even still, nice run for Ms. Koda with this one.
18. Justin Timberlake – What Goes Around, Comes Around (New Entry)
Michael Jackson had no less that seven. Usher had one. Bi had one. Now Justin Timberlake has his epic video. This one clocks in at about 8 minutes of greatness. Oh, and I agree with Zach. Scarlett Johanssen’s breasts can cure cancer and stop wars. Great song to boot. (Update: J-TIM DISSED PRINCE?! OH NO HE MOTHERFUCKING DIDN’T! PRINCE RULES YOUR FACE!)
17. Rain (Bi) – In My Bed (Last Week #14)
So I was getting my jam on to Freeway yesterday and I realized that maybe this whole boycott is silly of me. Maybe I can live without ‘Man Up’ being released as a video. Fuck that, give me my DAMN VIDEO! NOW!
16. UVERworld – Zero no Kotae (Last Week #19)
So UVERworld moves up three spots this week. So here is the album review of BUGRIGHT. Ahem. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! BUY THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW! PRESS A! PRESS A! ZOMBIES IS AT THE DOOR! IF YOU DON’T BUY IT THEY GONNA EAT YOU! Seriously, aint a bad song on that bad boy and ‘51%’ is the BEST SONG ON THERE. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
15. Young Jeezy – I Love It (Last Week #11)
So Young Jeezy falls another four spots after peaking at #2 for two weeks in January. So I am probably the only one that wants this, but a remix of ‘Go Getta’ with T.I. and Rick Ross would be fucking tits. I’m just saying.
14. Yui – CHE.R.RY (Last Week #17)
So someone gave the look on Sunday when I had this on and the windows open. You know the look. The look of confusidisgusthatredshock. It hurts because this song is modern J-Rock goodness. Like Lisa Loeb but Japanese and tap worthy. Anyone who has heard her acoustic work knows she is good stuff. As is this video.
13. Nelly Furtado – Say It Right (Last Week #9, #1 for three weeks)
For the first time since December, Nelly Furtado falls out of the Top 10! It has been a long time but if you have heard the song and seen the video you know why. She has a new video with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake (Oh yeah, the cup runs over) so she wont be gone for long!
12. Hinoi Team – Dancin’ and Dreamin’ (Last Week #15)
The Hinoi Team is having a pretty good showing for their first time on the Video Top 20! Just a small hop from the Top 10 to boot. A small hop like they do in the video…yeah that’s good stuff. Can I just say AGAIN to do that whole routine in high heels takes skills? I mean not like I have ever tried, but I can only imagine and all.
11. Halcali – Look (Last Week #7)
First Nelly Furtado now Halcali?! What gives man? Even though they fall, I still dig this video and am waiting patiently for the next one.
10. Game feat. Kanye West – Wouldn’t Get Far (Last Week #12)
Westside! The Game records his third Top Ten while Kanye West has his second of 2007! I still like how this video pokes at the video vixen craze that I figured would be over by now. I mean there are several ideas for videos; do they all have to include half dressed women? That is another rant altogether. Anyway, congrats to The Game!
9. Bennie K – 1001 Nights (Last Week #13)
Speaking of multiple Top Tens. Another day, another Bennie K video is in my playlist. The song doesn’t do it for me like ‘Joy Trip’ did but this video is pure CGI goodness. Oh, and did I mention that Cico dances again? Hells yeah, can’t beat that with a baseball that. I never would, I’m a lover.
8. TERIYAKI BOYZ feat Kanye West – I Still Love H.E.R. (Last Week #10)
More VERBAL, fool! This video and song have finally found a groove with me. It actually doesn’t freak people out because it has Kanye West in it and the members of the TERIYAKI BOYZ brought their notebooks with them because the lyrics are coherent. And the video is rather original, too.
7. John Legend – PDA (We Just Don’t Care) (Last Week #8)
Well DUH! If John Legend has a video, it is on here. And he is coming to Denver in April! Guess who will be there? Yeah, you know it. If his live show is anything like the House of Blues DVD then I am in for one hell of a show! Check him out if you cant, I guarantee satisfaction!
6. Yui – Rolling Star (Last Week #4, #1 for three weeks)
Now we have a video on the downswing. Yui has been on here for a while (15 weeks I think) and she is finally making the move down. It is about time for a new Bleach opening (maybe episode 119-121, somewhere in there) and I am looking forward to it. All the opening themes have either ruled all (Asterik, D-Technolife, and of course Rolling Star) or grew on me (Ichirin No Hana and Tonight, Tonight, Tonight) so get ready for some awesomeness! Time for the Top Five! We begin with a shocker…
5. T.I. feat Young Jeezy, Young Dro, Big Kuntry, & B.G. – Top Back (Remix) [Last Week #1, two weeks at #1]
After two weeks, T.I. falls out of the Top spot! And it is the biggest fall since Beat Crusaders fell from #1 to #10 with Tonight, Tonight, Tonight. This is a reflection more on the fact that I NEED SOME NEW T.I. RIGHT NOW! I recommend ‘Get It’ because….well Swizz Beats can kick ass sometimes and it is one of the times he does. Reminds me of ‘Bring Em Out’ a little. Even still, let us move along…
4. Daughtry – It’s Not Over (Last Week #5)
Daughtry inches closer to the Top Three moving up one spot to the number 4 spot. I think I may watch American Idol now, if not to boo the crap out of the male contestants. Can you believe that Chris didn’t win but these fuckfaces can make it past the prelims?! This is shenanigans! At least he gets his props on the Chachi Top 20 Video Countdown! We have entered the Big Three, peeps!
3. May J feat. VERBAL – Here We Go (Last Week #2)
May J falls a spot after ALMOST taking the crown from T.I. last week. Still waiting for some new stuff from her and I CANNOT be the only one. I mean c’mon look at this video! It has dancing, hot chicks and VERBAL! It only needs explosions and we have a classic. Like ‘I’m Coming’ by Bi but hawter. And that is hard to do because Bi is fucking FIY-YAH! On to Number Two…
2. Evanescence – Lithium (Last Week #6, Biggest Mover)
Look who it is! Once again, they sneak up and make a bid for being my favorite video and song! I used to be a closet Evanescence fan but now I don’t care. The world can know I find Amy Lee to be hawt and that I think this band rocks the box. Even after a large leap, Amy Lee and Co. couldn’t take the Number One spot! Who has it?
1. Namie Amuro – Baby Don’t Cry (Last Week #3, #1 for one week)
You got that right, nobody fucks with the Namie! Namie has her first Number One video on the Chachi Video Countdown! As anyone can tell you, this is my favorite song since ‘I Wanna Be Rich’ by Calloway and my favorite video since ‘Give It To You’ by Jordan Knight. Yeah, I’m eclectic. It’s my favorite ringtone and Namie is looking quite nice, too. STILL needs a sandwich. Great song, awesome video and new Number One!
Well, that is all for this week! Can Namie hold on for a second week? Or will Evanescence’s second run get them to the top spot? Or will May Jay or Daughtry pull a fast one and conquer the Countdown? Tune in next Friday to find out! Until then, stay up peeps!
Chachi Out!
