What is up people?! It is so Friday and it is SO PAY DAY! You know what that means? Possible DENVER PAR-TEEEEEE! YEAH! But before I blow all my money on rum, pool, rum and maybe some trivia at D&B’s I have to bring you the Friday staple...
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
Let’s get started with a new entry this week!
20. Enrique Iglesias – Do You Know (New Entry)
ENRIQUE GOT RID OF THE MOLE! Man, now he looks more like Ricky Martin. It was the only way I could tell them apart. Anyway, welcome back to the pop world! Not going to lie to you, I like Enrique and I think this video is rather funny. That and this song kicks ass! Welcome to the Countdown!
19. UVERworld – Zero no Kotae (Last Week #16)
So it looks like UVERworlds 4th video on the Countdown is on its way out. It was their first video not to make it to #1, but that is nothing to be disappointed about.
18. UGK feat. Outkast – International Players Anthem (New Entry)
Unh, Sweet Jones! UGK is back on the scene and they decided to bring Outkast with them! This song has been on my playlist since I first heard it (Andre Three Stacks spoken word may be the verse of the year) and the video has Pimp C dressed as a pimp…hence his name. That alone puts it on here. Add in Bun B (UNDERRATED) and Big Boi (ditto!) and you have a surprising hip-hop classic! And welcome back to Big Boi (‘Margaritas’ with Sleepy Brown and Pharrell went to #1 last year)
17. John Legend – PDA (We Just Don’t Care) (Last Week #15, four weeks at #1)
Looks like Mr. Legend’s days are numbered on the Countdown. Hopefully, with Kanye going on tour soon to support his new album he will be on the road again since I missed him in April.
16. Daddy Yankee feat. Fergie – Impacto (Last Week #19)
Just got Daddy Yankee’s new album! Aaaaaaand I don’t understand a word. However, just like Rebelde it is fucking awesome. Music is the universal language, peeps! Also, this video moves up three big places. It must be hard, seeing as how Daddy is lugging around another man in Fergie. But I digress.
15. L`Arc~en~Ciel – Seventh Heaven (Last Week #17)
So the classic j-rockers (If you consider 18 years or so classic) move up two spots this week with their truly weird video. Here is to hoping for a new album from these guys soon!
14. Kumi Koda – Get Up & Move! (Last Week #11)
NEW VIDEO FROM KUMI KODA! And…I am shocked. It is called ‘FREAKY’ and there is nothing freaky about it! BOOOOO! I’m just saying; if you name the song ‘FREAKY’ you should give us what you advertise dammit! She has another video for ‘Run For Your Life’ which according to the preview looks ‘Birthday Eve’ like which means it will be damn awesome. Stay tuned!
13. M-Flo feat. Crystal Kay – Love Don’t Cry (Last Week #13)
For the THIRD WEEK M-Flo and Crystal Kay are staying put at #13. M-Flo just released his album but any word on Crystal Kay? I am waiting for that bad boy because her last album was pretty damn good. GIMME SOME CRYSTAL!
12. T.I. – Big Things Poppin’ (Last Week #14)
So The King of the South heads north two spaces this week as he looks for his third #1 video with this one. Well, I am still waiting for the album and hopefully it will be a ‘two singles at once’ thing. With Fiddy pushing his shitty album back the summer could belong to TI!
11. Yui – CHE.R.RY (Last Week #9, one week at #1)
We are one step from the Top 10 and we have Yui outside for the first time since Valentine’s Day! That was a pretty lengthy stay in the upper half and even though she has a new video I still love this video and song. Much like Bi before her she suffers the wrath of my attachment to a song. Now, into the Top 10!
10. Foxxi MisQ feat Zeebra – Luxury Ride (Last Week #12)
And what a way to start! The ladies of Foxxi MisQ have their first Top 10 video after only three weeks! I don’t care, these ladies are quite the nice. AND THEY HAVE A NEW VIDEO WHICH IS JUST AS HOT! Oh, and their album is out at the end of this month! Daughtry may have some competition for the Best New Artist Chachi Award!
9. Fall Out Boy – Thnks Fr Th Mmrs (Last Week #10)
FOB moves up a spot this week with this overblown Tag Body Spray ad. Man….I hate body spray commercials. Love the song, love the video, hate the product.
8. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend (Last Week #5)
NOOOOO! I still love you, Avril! Sadly, your video falls three places this week and out of the Top Five. I wonder when her next single is coming out. Hell, I didn’t even really see or hear about any promotion for the album itself. Hoping for something new soon…
7. Abingdon Boys School – Howling (Last Week #8)
But until then, this will totally fill my rawking out quota! This video is where it is at! Where in the hell is the Abingdon Boys School album?! GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE NOW! Oh, and I have no idea what ‘Darker Than Black’ is about after two episodes. Then again, after three episodes I hated Bleach and thought Peach Girl was going to suck after four. I was totally fucking wrong on both counts so I will give it a longer look.
6. Yui – My Generation (Last Week #7)
So we blink and Yui is on the verge of her third Top 5 video of the YEAR. Its only fricking JUNE! She is putting in mad work this year! She may be the frontrunner for the Artist of the Year Chachi Award! I love this song and I can’t wait for the single!
5. Orange Range – Ika Summer (Last Week #6)
Welcome to the Top Five! We begin with Orange Range, who with their massive body of work and list of cool videos have never had an official video this high before! This song is one of the best from them in a long time and the video, sans cheesy effects is great. On to #4….
4. nobodyknows+ - Hero’s Come Back! (Last Week #2, Four weeks at #1)
Looks like nobodyknows+ will not be pulling an UVERworld and recapturing the #1 spot! After a month long run at the top, they fall two more spots to #4 this week in a slight shocker. Oh, and Naruto: Shippuuden rawks your face. All of it. I guarantee if you liked the first two seasons of Naruto (my hand is up) you will LOVE the new series. Make some noise!
3. Rascal Flats – Stand (Last Week #4)
We are into the Top Three! Look who we have here! Rascal Flatts is looking to capture their second #1 video after cracking the Big Three this week! With no John Legend or UVERworld to deal with, can they finally take the throne? We will just have to see! We are down to two videos…
2. Yuna Ito – I’m Here (Last Week #1, one week at #1)
And after a week at #1, Yuna Ito falls down a spot! Yuna has a new video with Micro from Def Tech (POWER IN THE MUSIC! HELPS TO GO UNDERSTANDING! Yes, broken English rules) and while the video is simple…she is looking quite fine in them shorts. I’m just saying she’s hawt. Sue me. We may see that video on here soon. With Yuna in the runner up position, we have a new #1 video…
1. Maroon 5 – Makes Me Wonder (Last Week #3, One week at #1)
….and it is about time! After a pretty lengthy trek, Maroon 5 captures their first #1 video on the Top 20 Video Countdown! This is probably my third favorite song (behind ‘International Players Anthem’ and ‘Howling’) and my new favorite album to boot! Oh, congratulations on the new baby! And you have a #1 video to go along with it!
That is all for now. Tune in next Friday to see if Maroon 5 can hold on for a second week. Or can Yuna Ito pull ‘the UVERworld’ and take top spot a second time? Look out, Rascal Flatts is looking to toss their names in the hat for ‘Kings of the Countdown’ and capture their second #1 video. Make sure to be back next week and find out where your favorite video lies! And if it isn’t on here, let me know! I may put it on and give you a shout out! Just no T-Pain or R. Kelly.
Oh shit, what is gonna happen when the ‘Same Girl’ video is released?! It has Usher (YAAAAY!) but it also has The King of R&Pee (BOOOOO!). I’ll cross that bridge when it gets here. Until next time, stay up peeps!
