What is up peeps! You know what time it is! Wait, it’s not Friday, you say? Well tomorrow I will be in D-Town so I am giving the peeps the good early. So get ready to dance, rock and get funky fresh because today is a special early Thursday edition of…
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
We begin with a former #1 video that may be on the way out...
20. Namie Amuro – Baby Don’t Cry (Last Week #17, #1 for three weeks)
After a meteoric rise to Number One, Namie is STLL hanging on! She did very well with her first video ever on the Countdown and with another video on here, things aren’t looking bad for Ms. Namie.
19. M-Flo loves Crystal Kay – Love Don’t Cry (New Entry)
Well look who came crawling back! Verbal has his FOURTH video of 2007 on the Top 20 and needless to say, he is battling Yui for the Artist of the Year award. Not only that, Crystal Kay is back. She has grown up to be a fine, saucy lady. I do mean quite the top notch. It’s been a while since Kirikuni, I tell you what. Welcome back!
18. Hinoi Team – Dancin’ and Dreamin’ (Last Week #14)
It may be time to say goodbye to the lovely young ladies of Hinoi Team. After a pretty good first time out, this video looks to be spending its last week in Top 20. I still like ‘Now and Forever’ better, like THAT sounds any less dirty. I hate myself and everything I have become.
17. Maroon 5 – Makes Me Wonder (Last Week #20)
Not anymore! Man, this video is bad ass. As for the song, I am on the verge of making this bad boy into a ringtone. I really wasn’t a fan of Maroon 5 (mainly because everyone else was) but this song is hella catchy.
16. nobodyknows+ - Hero’s Come Back! (Last Week #18)
Hells yes. This video continues its upward movement, fighting up two spots this week. This is THE ring tone to have and if you DON’T have it you are ‘teh suck’ because only the cool kids get the Naruto theme songs. That is the lie I tell myself. I stick by it.
15. Namie Amuro – Funky Town (Last Week #16)
Namie moves up one more spot this week in all her thigh high boot glory. Man…that’s hella hot. She could use a haircut, though. Its getting kind of out there. Damn hippie.
14. Monkey Majik feat m-flo – Picture Perfect (Last Week #12)
So Monkey Majik seems to have stalled out this week as they fall just short of the Top 10. That also fails to give Verbal his third Top Ten of 2007. Eh, cant win them all.
13. Rascal Flats – Stand (Last Week #15)
Yeah….shut up. I like the Flatts. That is all.
12. Home Made Kazoku – Nagaraboshi ~Shooting Star~ (Last Week #10)
So ‘Fantastic 3’ has been rocking my world for the last few days. At the expense of this video however. Even though HMK falls out of the Top 10, this is still good stuff. And watch Naruto, fools! It’s back to kicking the ass! All of it, not some of it like Blood+.
11. Kumi Koda – Get Up & Move! (Last Week #13)
It has been a LONG time since Kumi Koda was in the Top 10 (she was at #2 for three weeks with ‘Juicy’ last year, not to be confused with ‘Juicy (Got Em Crazy) by Oaktown 357. Easy mistake) and she looks on the verge of getting back there. One of the few videos out with funky fresh dance moves and Kumi and I have a thang. A LUV THANG! CeCe Peniston! Anyone…? Fuck….off to the Top Ten.
10. K-OS – Sunday Morning (Last Week #11)
Welcome to the Top Ten and we begin with a first timer! This video is pretty sweet and since they play it on VH1 Soul (which actually has a kind of low suck factor. They still play Akon, though) I get to see it every now and then on TV! K-OS has actually been around for a while and even though I was a fan, I was never as hyped about him as I am now.
9. Game feat. Kanye West – Wouldn’t Get Far (Last Week #8)
The Game drops a spot this week and is the highest hip hop video on the Countdown. Says a lot about my opinion of the genre. Odds are, from what I am seeing this will be the last hip hop video (aside from K-OS) on the Countdown until Outkast, T.I. or Common come out with a new one, odds are summertime. I’m gonna miss the hip to the hippity.
8. Yuna Ito – I’m Here (Last Week #9)
Uh oh. We could end up having a new flame (Yuna) vs. old love (Kumi) battle in the Top 10! Can you say CATFIGHT?! I know I can. Hey, Zach? What is catfight in Japanese? Anyway, this video is nice and I FINALLY saw Unfair subbed. It actually isn’t all that bad. I need to watch a few more episodes but I will keep you posted.
7. Bennie K – 1001 Nights (Last Week #4)
Bad news: Bennie K falls another three spots after failing to take the Top Spot. The good news? ALBUM COMING IN MAY! IT FEELS SO GOOD!! I CANT STOP!! YES, GOD YES!!! I think I’m good…whooo…oh yeah….next video..
6. Three Days Grace – Never Too Late (Last Week #7)
Thee Days OH GOD!! WAIT FOR IT…oh…man thought I was done. Had another one in me. Anyway, this video moves a little bit closer to the top. You know, my liking of rock has grown after finally tolerating Disturbed (they used to irritate the hell out of me, but 10,000 Fists rocks your grill piece) I decided to give it a chance. I like it now. Onto the Top 5!
5. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend (Last Week #6)
Yes, that name is right. Avril Lavigne has managed to make it into the Top 5. And you know what? You can leave me alone. I like this song! Oh, and check out the player on the side (I got it on both MySpace AND Blogger. Eat THAT, technology!) and you will hear the Japanese version! It’s just the hook, but still. Good stuff.
4. UVERworld – Zero no Kotae (Last Week #5)
Yeah, you know it. UVERworld looks like they may be having a stand off against John Legend once again! The are 1-1 against him, losing with Shamrock vs. Once Again but they did hold off Heaven with Kimi no Suki na Uta. Will there be a rubber match? We will find out soon! Now, for the biggest three videos in the land!!
3. Daughtry – It’s Not Over (Last Week #2, two weeks at #1)
After looking like he may be ready for a second tenure as the Chachi in Chief, Daughtry falls back to #3! His next single ‘Home’ is out and the video was filmed (reportedly) two weeks ago so don’t fret Daughtr-a-holics! He should be back with another one soon! So, who is the runner up this week?
2. Yui – CHE.R.RY (Last Week #3)
Mmmm…I digs the Yui. I think she is quite the saucy. She moves up to #2 this week and is looking for her second Number One video! That would make two #1’s this year for her and that’s big stuff! I love the acoustic version of this song (on the single) and I wonder if she will ever come to America. Because if she does…I will have to snatch her up Borat style. Well, it’s time for the Number One video…
1. John Legend – PDA (We Just Don’t Care) (Last Week #1, four weeks at #1)
And the CHAMP IS STILL HERE! He holds the record for most weeks at #1 (11 total with three videos) and looks to be going strong! I missed the concert (it was on the 10th, was gonna get tickets but spent the money on someone more important) but he should be back later this year for the Kanye West tour so it’s all good. Congrats to for a full month at #1!
Well, again we end where we end last week. Can Yui end John Legend’s reign? Or will UVERworld attempt to pull a Muhammad Ali and win the final two fights to become the Kings of the Countdown? Don’t forget about Daughtry and Avril waiting in the wings! Or, can John extend his domination for another week? Tune in next Friday on the normal day to find out!
I will try to be up on Saturday but if not I will be back next week. Stay up peeps! Oh, and just in case you were wondering, I will change the player to add the new songs every Saturday morning, depending on whether I am hung over. Keep it real!
Chachi Out.
