Yo yo yo! It is another Friday and you know what that means! It is time for the…
Chachi Top 20 Video Countdown!
We begin with a video from an artist that already had a number one video earlier this year!
20. Yuna Ito – Urban Mermaid (New Entry)
Miss Yuna is back! No, not the Yuna from NDK…even BETTER! Yuna Ito is back with her latest video and makes a triumphant return to the Countdown! The last time we saw Yuna, she was setting the record for the longest reign video in Countdown history with “I’m Here”, which made it to #1 earlier this year. I really like this video because the message is actually pretty nice and Yuna is…well hawt as hell. The more hot Japanese ladies on the Countdown the better.
19. Kanye West feat. Daft Punk – Stronger (Last Week #16, One week at #1)
It looks like Kanye’s former number one video is on its way out after a great run. You know, it looks like Kanye is going to be battling it out with Yui for the most nominations in this year’s Music Video Awards. Will he win one or will he spaz out at the ceremony? Here is hoping for a spaz out because those equal RATINGS!
18. Daughtry – Over You (New Entry)
Can we have a welcome back for Daughtry? It has been more than 7 months since “It’s Not Over” dominated the Countdown for half a month and this is his return! This video is actually one with a message (Although I despise AA) which is always good. With videos in a down turn, it’s good to see some storylines return.
17. UGK feat. Outkast – International Players Anthem (Last Week #14, Seven weeks at #1)
So has UGK officially locked up the Best Video of the Year? There is some stiff competition (John Legend, Aqua Timez, nobodyknows+, Yui) but with SEVEN weeks at #1…that is hard to top. Unfortunatly, there hasn’t been a video from them ever since so that kind of knocks them back a peg. It has been a dominating few months for UGK, but it looks to be coming to an end…
16. NaNa – Movin’ On (Last Week #20)
What can I say, funky fresh dancing is how I live. NaNa moves up a big four spots this week as she makes a quick move up the Countdown. I don’t really know much about NaNa except she is a kick ass dancer and her voice isnt all that annoying. Also, I LOVE that breakdown near the end. It should be a law that all songs have one.
15. Paramore – Misery Business (Last Week #18)
Slowly but surely, Paramore moves up the Countdown. They gain three spots this week and supposedly have a new video out soon to boot. The video is a bit too Avril Lavignelike for me but hey, that isnt a COMPLETELY bad thing.
14. Abingdon Boys School – Nephilim (Last Week #11)
TM and the crew falls another three spots this week as ABS continues their great year. Three videos should equal a damn album soon, or at least it BETTER.
13. Yui - Jam (Last Week #15)
Yui is making moves late in 2007 with two videos moving up the Countdown at the same time. Only Foxxi MisQ and Bi can claim that so that is some good work on her part. Oh, and if you get the chance, check out some of her live performances of this song. It is quite great.
12. UVERworld - Shaka Beach~Laka Laka La~ (Last Week #9)
If 2006 was the year of UVERworld, this is their sophmore slump. This video peaked at number three and has been in a freefall ever since. With “Zero No Kotae” not hitting number one and “Endscape” not even charting, this is a great departure from their three number one video performace of 2006. I’m just saying.
11. L`Arc~en~Ciel – My Heart Draws A Dream (Last Week #13)
NEW L’ARC~EN~CIEL!! And it is from Gundam! Can it get any better? Well, this video has moved a step closer to the Top 10 so that is good as well. Viva Le Arc!
10. John Legend – Stereo (Last Week #5, Plunge of the Week)
John Legend falls the most spots he has ever fallen this week as he plummets from the Top 5. He stays inside the Top 10, which is some help but even still that is a lot of chart to fall down. “Stereo” is also John’s first video NOT to hit number one.
9. Kanye West feat. T-Pain - GoodLife (Last Week #10)
Kanye moves up another spot this week as he looks for his second number one of 2007. Sadly, he is bringing along the Predalope and Keith Sweat killer T-Pain with him. I really…REALLY don’t like T-Pain. Too bad he is in that Chris Brown song, too. Just ruining my 2007.
8. Alicia Keys – No One (Last Week #12)
More hot ladies on the Countdown! After a huge debut last week, Alicia moves up four spots this week and into the Top 10 for the first time! So this means a new album for Alicia at some point in 2007 which will be AWESOME AS HELL. Oh, how I have missed her so.
7. Common feat Lily Allen – Driving Me Wild (Last Week #8)
Common is moving up this week as he tries to capture the top spot that eluded his first video. After a breakout 2005, Common is looking to make up for lost time with two simply brilliant videos and arguably the best album of they year. Native Tongues, fool!
6. Yui – Love & Truth (Last Week #7)
Even more Yui! This song live with the violins is AWESOME and the new version of the video without the movie clips is hawt. A soaking wet Yui? Been parts of my dreams for about a year or so.
5. Soulja Boy – Crank That [Soulja Boy] (Last Week #6)
I mean YOOOOOU! Soulja Boy moves up to the Top Five this week and has a new video out! Problem is…”Soulja Girl” sucks ass. Hard. I mean seriously, I am sick of all these shitty songs to get ladies to dance. They all do the same dance and it involves gyrating for no reason. He has like three other songs I would have rather wanted to see a video for but it is what it is. Crank that!
4. Aqua Timez - Alones (Last Week #2, Four weeks at #1)
After a month long reign at the top, Aqua Timez falls two spots this week but still stays in the Top 5. It is almost time for a new Bleach opening theme and about time for a new Aqua Timez video. The have a new single out so a video should be out any day now. Hopefully, I don’t need another FIVE MONTH WAIT! Onto the Top Three!
3. Sowelu, EXILE & DOBERMAN INC – 24 Karat (Last Week #4)
The third biggest video in the world is brought to you by three of the hottest names in J-Pop right now! Sowelu, DOBERMAN INC and EXILE are only two places away from the top spot as they climb into the Top 3. You know, I don’t know a lot about DOBERMAN INC. I loves me the Sowelu and EXILE and I go way back but the INC is new to me. Anyone know some backstory? Hook a brother up! We are down to two…
2. Nelly Furtado – Do It (Last Week #3)
Nelly Furtado is one step away from her second number one video of 2007! It has been a while since she had been on before this video after three fast Top Three videos but she is back with a vengeance. However, she could not dethrone the reigning queen from the top…
1.Mihimaru GT – Gazen Yeah! (Last Week #1, Two weeks at #1)
For the second week in a row, Mihimaru GT tops the chart with the biggest video in the world! If you don’t know why, just click on it. It is great stuff, trust me. Sexy ladies, dance moves and poppy beats equal the top spot this week!
That is all for now! Tune in next week to see if Mihimaru GT can hold on for a third week! Or can Nelly Furtado grab her second number one video of 2007? Or can Sowelu, EXILE and DOBERMAN INC take their first crown? Tune in next Friday to find out! I will be actually at work starting Monday (BOOOOOOO, but YAAAAY!) but I will try to give an update during the week. Stay up, peeps!
Chachi Out!
