What’s up, peeps! It is another Friday so you know what that means! Time for the…
CHACHI TOP 20 VIDEO COUNTDOWN!
And AWAY we go with a debut!
20. Namie Amuro – Funky Town (New Entry)
Well that didn’t take long. While the song isn’t as kick ass as ‘Baby Don’t Cry’ but the video has Namie in thigh highs and a skirt. Nuff said. Not only that, but funky fresh dance moves. Come on, people! That is really all a video needs to catch my attention. Welcome to the Countdown again!
19. Kumi Koda – Get Up & Move! (New Entry)
Kumiko is back, this time in clothed form! More than usual, anyway. This video has grown on me (mainly due to the myriad of live performance which made me give up my boycott on women) and that’s what gets it on this week. And actually, the song is rather catchy, too. I had ‘But’ up last week, but I like “Black Cherry’ and this song is G-R-O-O-V-Y. Welcome back to Miss Koda as well!
18. Yui – Rolling Star (Last Week #15, #1 for three weeks, Plunge of the Week)
It’s about time to say goodbye to the reigning queen of the Countdown of 2007. With Nelly Furtado out of the Countdown, Yui is the 2nd longest reigning video on here. With CHE.R.RY moving up things aint so bad, though.
17. Yuna Ito – I’m Here (Last Week #19)
Yummy. That is all. And I got her acoustic show from JPopsuki and hells yes. Her voice is just majestic. Yes, I said majestic. It is up there, odds are better than all the artists out there so far. You hear that Christina? And she didn’t have to wear hot pants to do it! Although…that wouldn’t be so bad. I’m just saying!
16. TERIYAKI BOYZ feat Kanye West – I Still Love H.E.R. (Last Week #13)
So M-Flo could set a little bit of history. Seeing as how he has been working with the FINE ASS Crystal Kay and it is hot on the heels of making it on the Countdown, M-Flo could be involved with FOUR videos on here. That would be a record for real! Looks like someone new is in the running for Artist of the Year!
15. K-OS – Sunday Morning (Last Week #17)
K-OS moves up two more spots this week with his first foray into the Countdown. Just got his album and it aint too shabby. A few too many samples, but aside from that it rocks the box. Oh, and guess what? Funky fresh prom dance moves in this one! Yeah, I didn’t go to my prom. Oy vey…I am so going to cry now…
14. May J feat. VERBAL – Here We Go (Last Week #11)
…May J knows how to cheer me up! The longest running video on the Countdown so far is two weeks away from breaking UVERworld’s record for Shamrock! She already broke the record for being in the Top 10, all without reaching number one! Quite the accomplishment!
13. Monkey Majik feat m-flo – Picture Perfect (Last Week #14)
Monkey Majik is still going strong with this one, moving up one spot. Just got the M-Flo ‘Cosmicolor’ album (thank you again, Roxanne!) and got the record version. Quite different. I must say, I like the video version better. Even still, I am also tolerating the song with Seamo a little more. It may be on here because I dig classroom videos.
12. Evanescence – Lithium (Last Week #8)
Out of the Top 10 for Amy Lee. After falling short of the Top Spot yet again, Evanescence continues their downward swing.
11. Three Days Grace – Never Too Late (Last Week #16, Biggest Mover)
Don’t stop a rockin’! Three Days Grace is looking for their first Top 10 video! So anyone privy on when their new work comes out? I would figure it is about time and all.
10. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend (Last Week #12)
Okay, I will get some shit for this. I don’t care, this song is groovy! I know Avril gets a bad rap from a lot (well, all of) you and its kind of unwarranted. Okay, her first album pissed me off to no end (although I liked I’m With You) but her second one was pretty good. So quit hating! Although I am pissed off about the manga, but at least I haven’t seen it anywhere.
9. Home Made Kazoku – Nagaraboshi ~Shooting Star~ (Last Week #10)
Home Made Kazoku moves up one spot this week! One of the better Naruto closing themes and actually a rather simple video. Good stuff for the fans out there.
8. UVERworld – Zero no Kotae (Last Week #9)
The ‘World moves up another spot this week, too. This video has found a groove with me. Now I like it because the video kicks ass, not just because it is UVERworld which used to be the case. Here is hoping for a video for ‘51%’ soon!
7. Namie Amuro – Baby Don’t Cry (Last Week #3, #1 for three weeks)
After dominating the Countdown for three weeks, Namie falls four more spots and out of the Top Five with this video. It’s all good, she has a new one on to make up for it. All is well.
6. Hinoi Team – Dancin’ and Dreamin’ (Last Week #6)
Dancin, dreamin and staying put at #6 for a second week. Hinoi Team is doing well with their first video if I say so myself. Even sadder is I know the majority of the dance moves to this video because I have seen it so many times. Yet, funky fresh dance moves rule so bite me. Even with those, Hinoi Team waits outside of the Top Five.
5. Yui – CHE.R.RY (Last Week #7)
Yay! Yui makes it in to the Top Five with her second video! Hey, I love this song. It’s a ringtone, it was my MySpace song AND gets the most watching on the playlist. Oh, and the HD live performance is quite the awesome if I say so myself. Hooray for Yui!
4. Game feat. Kanye West – Wouldn’t Get Far (Last Week #5)
Seems The Game has some beef with Vida Guerra. Not cool, Game. Vida is fine as all hell and I love her. Do not besmirch her name, fool! Even still, love the video. Also, The Game is on the verge of his third Top 3 video! Can he make it happen? Some big names are above him…
3. Bennie K – 1001 Nights (Last Week #4)
…Like these ladies! Bennie K is making moves to get their second #1 video! This video has been sneaking up and has been making it’s round on the MP3 mix in the car. Still waiting for some album action. Until then, have this video in HD to watch. Can you say SAUCY? I know I can! Now, its time for a first on the Chachi Video Countdown…
1. Daughtry – It’s Not Over (Last Week #1, two weeks at #1)
Yes, that is a #1 where a two should be. You aren’t seeing things. Daughtry spends his second week at Number One with this video! Still pissed off about missing Chris getting voted off (his performance was lackluster) while Sanjaya was actually…tolerable with his rendition of ‘Bathwater’ which is one of my favorite No Doubt songs. That idiot that did ‘Love Song’ should have been voted off. We already have ONE J-Tim and that is ENOUGH! Damn teenage white girls. Anyway, yes there was a TIE for the #1 spot. Who is the other artist?
1. John Legend – PDA (We Just Don’t Care) (Last Week #2, one week at #1)
Yeah, you know it! John Legend has his 3rd Number 1 video to tie him with UVERworld for the most EVER! This video is a great watch and the song is also a ringtone. I have no woman to GIVE IT TO but it is there as the generic one (switching between ‘Freeway’ by Bi of course). Congrats to Chris and John on sharing the Top Spot!
That is it for this week, peeps! Who will stay at the top of the mountain: Daughtry or John Legend? Or can Bennie K or The Game leapfrog and take Number One? Yui is back in the mix after a five week hiatus, can she take the throne again? Tune in next week and find out!
