IT’S FRIDAY! And it is about damn time, too! I needs to P-A-R-T-E-E!! Well, no more stalling, it is time for the Friday staple…
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
First I have a new installment of something I haven’t done in MONTHS!
Bubbling Under!
First, we have a new video from a Japanese favorite of mine…
AI – I’ll Remember You
Hey, welcome back! It has been a LONG time since I had my AI fix and it is hella good to see her again. This video is simple goodness (reminds me a lot of Rascal Flats “Stand”) and the song is mid-tempo fun. A different vibe from “I Wanna Know” but still this is good stuff! Next there is a video from a band that is the antithesis of what I believe in…
My Chemical Romance – Teenagers
My god…I am afraid. When I first heard this song I knew there was a problem. It was emo, but it didn’t want to make me kill people. I tapped my toes to it and I was scared. Now there is a video and I have to download it because it is actually pretty damn good in a Marilyn Manson type of way. I don’t like emo kids, but some of the music has become pop/rock goodness (Evanescence, Fall Out Boy).
Well let’s get to the show! We start with a debut from a familiar face. The sexy familiar faces…
20. Foxxi Misq feat. Miss Monday – Party Booty Shake (New Entry)
Can this week GET ANY BETTER! The only thing better than one video on the Countdown from Foxxi MisQ is TWO videos on the Countdown by Foxxi MisQ! Not only do they bring me a sexy, saucy video for this song they also bring back Miss Monday! I haven’t seen her in a minute. Reminds me of Calypso from Pirates 3, though.
19. Kumi Koda – Get Up & Move! (Last Week #14)
So Miss Koda is on the verge of falling out of the Top 20 yet again. Her live rendition of “Sora” was pretty damn bad ass. And she was fully clothed! Well, as fully clothed as Kumi Koda gets these days. I like it when she gives me a little mystery. Here is to the video for “Run For Your Life” soon! I love that song!
18. Gackt – RETURNER ~Yami no Shuuen~ (New Entry)
YES! OH, MY FUCKING GOD YES! IT FEELS SO GOOD! GACKT IS FUCKING BACK! This video…has created a paradigm shift in how epic videos will be filmed from this point on! Anyone know where I can find subbed episodes of Fūrin Kazan? It is like 20 episodes in and I can’t find it (also haven’t TRIED very hard but still it’s FUCKING GACKT). Even still, this video RULES YOUR FACE. It is the front runner for Video of the Year, peeps. Oh, and he is hawt. Can’t forget that.
17. Enrique Iglesias – Do You Know (Last Week #20)
Speaking of hawt, Enrique burn up three places this week! This song has really grown on me (like most songs about heartbreak do because I am ‘teh heartbreak’) and the video has a nice mix of sexy and funny. Good stuff.
16. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend (Last Week #8, Plunge of the Week)
Well, the honeymoon is almost over. Avril falls EIGHT spots this week, out of the Top 10 and almost out of the Countdown! She had an awesome run (two weeks at #2 behind the nobodyknows+ month long reign) but she has had a steady decline since. A new single is out so a new video should follow!
15. M-Flo feat. Crystal Kay – Love Don’t Cry (Last Week #13)
After hanging around for a long ass time (three months) outside the Top 10, Crystal Kay and M-Flo are finally falling. Man…I love Crystal Kay. And people poo-poo on interracial babies. She is a damn fine union of Black and Korean. To bad I am scared of Koreans or I could make babies like that.
14. Daddy Yankee feat. Fergie – Impacto (Last Week #16)
Daddy Yankee hops on Fergie’s manly shoulders and moves up two spots this week! This song is now on full rotation and Fergie makes me question my sexuality because from a distance she looks femine but up close she looks like Triple H with a nose job. SHE IS THE GAYEE-MUH!
13. Yui – CHE.R.RY (Last Week #11, one week at #1)
Yui is hawt. That is all. Oh, and this song pisses me off now. Solely the song, I still love Yui with all my soul and being. Just know that women are users, smoozers and losers. Jeri Blank, you said it sister.
12. L`Arc~en~Ciel – Seventh Heaven (Last Week #15)
Aahh, now this makes me feel better! Hyde and the gang are making their way up the Countdown this week with what may be the most…interesting video I have seen in a few months. Hell, it’s just good to see them back!
11. UGK feat. Outkast – International Players Anthem (Last Week #18, Biggest Mover)
I CHOOSE YOUUUUUUU, BABY! This video moves up a BIG seven places this week, just outside the Top 10! Can the combined might of Outkast and UGK take the Countdown by storm? The are off to a great start! We have made it to the Top 10!
10. T.I. – Big Things Poppin’ (Last Week #12)
Well here is a familiar face! T.I. has his second Top 10 of the year and is looking for his 2nd #1 video to boot! This video, despite being standard fare isn’t all that bad and the song is just bangin. DAMN YOU MANNIE FRESH! DAMN YOU TO HELL!
9. Fall Out Boy – Thnks Fr Th Mmrs (Last Week #9)
Fall Out Boy stalls this week at #9. My god…I hate Tag Body Spray! DAMMIT, but I love this song! Oohhhh….the irony.
8. Foxxi MisQ feat Zeebra – Luxury Ride (Last Week #10)
This may be a big year for Foxxi Misq! It looked like Daughtry was running away with the Chachi for Best New Artist but now it may be more than a one horse race! With two videos on the Countdown AND an album in a few weeks they may be ready to put their stamp on 2007! Oh…and they are fucking hawt. Can’t deny that.
7. nobodyknows+ - Hero’s Come Back! (Last Week #4, Four weeks at #1)
Hero’s fall down! Nobodyknows+ falls another three spots this week after a dominant run. Here is looking for something new from these guys! And when are they going to change the intro/outro for Naruto: Shippuuden? Just curious…
6. Abingdon Boys School – Howling (Last Week #7)
Hell yes. Abingdon Boys School is one step away from their first Top 5 video! Man, where in the fuck is their album?! GIMME NOW! Through playing around over here, I need my rock fix! We are into the Top 5 videos of the week, people!
5. Yui – My Generation (Last Week #6)
And here is a familiar face! Can we get a welcome back for Yui? Her hawtness has her 3rd straight video in the Top 5 and is looking to tie UVERworld and John Legend with three #1 videos with this one! Can she do it? Well, I got the single which means this is playing in the car so odds are high! Moving on…
4. Yuna Ito – I’m Here (Last Week #2, One week at #1)
And sadly moving down. Yuna Ito falls two more spots after knocking the juggernaught that was nobodyknows+ from #1. Her new video at first was “meh” but after listening to it with the weather being not so bad it has really grown on me. And Yuna Ito in a dress? FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC! We are now ready for the biggest three rockin-est videos on the planet. And that’s way past Pluto.
3. Orange Range – Ika Summer (Last Week #5)
Orange Range has their 1st official Top 3 video! They have been working for a long ass time and have finally made it! This song kicks the ass and the video has finally out-shined the camp to grow on me. I’m a fan, and I hope you are! Two videos left…
2. Rascal Flats – Stand (Last Week #3)
Rascal Flats moves up one more spot to the runner-up position this week with this video! It has been a long slow climb since March but they are looking to take #1 for the second time! Can they make it happen? If they do, they will have to try next week…
1. Maroon 5 – Makes Me Wonder (Last Week #1, Two weeks at #1)
….because for the second straight week Maroon 5 holds down the throne! Now THIS is a get over it song! Have been playing this for about two days straight (along with Party Booty Shake, of course) and it is the mad notes! Duran Duran 2K7 forever! Congrats on the second week on top!
Well, that is all for this week peeps! Can Maroon 5 make it a 3rd straight week on top? Or can Rascal Flats make a ‘stand’ and take the #1 spot? Or can Orange Range continue their belated dominance and cap a career of excellence with a #1 video? Or will someone else jump up and take the crown from the kings? Tune in next Friday and find out! Until then, I will be back on Saturday (or Sunday depending on what I do) with a recap of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer! I don’t know why…I just will. Stay up, peeps!
Chachi Out!
