Due to circumstances beyond my control (heavy partying probably), the Chachi Top 20 Countdown will be delayed. Until…..now. Here we go, peeps! It’s time for the…
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
We begin this week with a video that hasn’t equaled the success that was hoped for…
20. 2Backka + Bennie K – Home (Last Week #17)
So after a run in the Top 20, 2Backka looks on the verge of falling off. Good song, good video but not as hot as some of the other stuff. Yuki still looks good as hell, though. Now, onto the hawtness.
19. NaNa – SHOW GIRL (New Entry)
FUCK. YES. FUCK YES! NaNa is back and making my dreams a lot happier place! This video is officially the hawtest video out not by Alicia Keys. The dancing is awesome, the song is top notch and NaNa is FI-YI-YINE! I swear I love her. Give me an album RIGHT NOW!
18. L`Arc~en~Ciel – My Heart Draws A Dream (Last Week #15)
The Arc looks on the verge of falling off as well this week. They have a big night coming up on Sunday with 5 nominations for the Chachi’s. Let’s see if they can bring one home!
17. Abingdon Boys School – Blade Chord (Last Week #20)
Speaking of nominations, ABS is third with eleven nominations this year and they have a good chance to get at LEAST half of those. They are also starting 2008 off right with one of the hottest videos out right now from a kick ass game. Yeah…ABS rocks your world.
16. Sowelu, EXILE & DOBERMAN INC – 24 Karat (Last Week #13, One week at #1)
NEW SOWELU VIDEO! NEW EXILE VIDEO! MY GOD I LOVE BEING A TURTLE! Well, not really. Even still Sowelu is my baby boo. Too bad she is falling off quickly from the Countdown. Not only that, big ups to EXILE for nabbing seven Chachi nominations! Big year for them!
15. Paramore – CrushCrushCrush (Last Week #18)
So Paramore looks to achieve the success if not better than “Misery Business”. I must say I like this SONG more but I like the video for Misery Business a lot more. Just saying, although Hayley looks good in both.
14. Yui – Love & Truth (Last Week #10)
It is officially the Queen of the Countdown and now she is Queen of the Chachi’s! With a staggering FIFTEEN nominations total, Yui has the chance to be the biggest winner this year. That is almost double Alicia Keys nods, and I love her more than I love applesauce. There, I said it. Applesauce you have been replaced.
13. Nelly Furtado – Do It (Last Week #11)
Nelly falls two more spots this week and is looking to have a strong showing on Sunday despite half the nominations of last year with three. Even still, she had two of the biggest videos of the year and had the Album of the Year last year had it not been for John Legend. Good stuff!
12. Mihimaru GT – I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY (Last Week #14)
The hottest band out right now (and well deserved, they have been putting in work for years) moves up two more spots as they look for their second number one video! Mihimaru GT also worked their late year run into 7 nominations this Sunday! That is more than UVERworld and M-Flo combined. They are so lucky. No….they are so great!
11. Daughtry – Over You (Last Week #7)
After failing to make the Top 5, Daughtry falls out of the Top 10 this week. It is a shame because this is a good song but the video is “meh”. He also had a breakthrough year with six Chachi nominations. Also, Jordin Sparks FLOPPED BIG TIME. Told you so. We are in the Top 10!
10. Alicia Keys – Like You’ll Never See Me Again (Last Week #16, Biggest Mover)
We begin with (maybe?) the current Queen of the Countdown! Alicia’s newest video moves up a big six spots to give her two videos in the Top 10. She is the first artist to do so this year since Foxxi MisQ this summer. This min-movie is actually well done and not full of filler, either. Oh…and she looks damn fine even when she cries.
9. Kanye West feat. T-Pain - GoodLife (Last Week #4)
Kanye falls four spots this week and out of the Top Five. Kanye West has 11 nominations this Sunday and here is to hoping he shows up to the ceremony. You think he may have a tantrum? Kanye equals ratings, peeps!
8. One Republic feat. Timbaland – Too Late (Last Week #12)
One Republic (I hate the space) moves up into the Top 10 this week after a slow climb. I got the album and it is DAMN GOOD and sadly wasn’t nominated this year for the Chachi’s. Next year, most definitely they are totally in.
7. May J. – Do Tha, Do Tha (Last Week #9)
You know what? I got the single…just watch the video. And fall in love.
6. Asian Kung-Fu Generation – After Dark (Last Week #8)
Bleach is finally rocking my face! They just broke the wall in Hecho Mundo (spelling is off) so you know what that means. ASS-KICKING PARTY!!! Enough with that. Asian Kung Fu Generation is one spot away from the Top 5 this week! It’s a great time for a great band that has been rocking for years. Not only that, Bleach is shooting for their third straight #1 video from an opening theme (Yui and Aqua Times spent a total of 7 weeks at number one)!
5. Paramore – Misery Business (Last Week #3)
Paramore falls two more spots this week after peaking at number two weeks ago. With only two nominations this year, expect a big 2008 from this group. Just a heads up, they will be rocking your face.
4. Yuna Ito – Urban Mermaid (Last Week #6)
My god…I love you, Yuna. Miss Ito moves up two more spots to just outside the Top 3 and is looking for her second number one video of 2007! Yuna picked up six nominations this year at the Chachi’s which is good for only having one video in the Top 20. Keep in mind it is the longest running video ever which helps. We are down to three…
3. TI feat. AlfaMega & Busta Rhymes - Hurt (Last Week #5)
TI has officially tossed his name in as a front-runner for the Artist of the Year Chachi Award! This gives TI his third Top 3 video of 2007 and he looks for his second number one of the year and third overall. He is second with 12 nominations this year and he is the reigning owner of the Video of the Year from 2006 with “What You Know”. Can he Dominate 2007? We will see! Now for the shocker.
2. Alicia Keys – No One (Last Week #1, Five Weeks at #1)
After five dominant weeks at number one, Alicia Keys sexy grip has finally been broken! She falls this week to number two and despite having two videos in the Top Ten, she still got knocked the heck out. Even with eight nominations this Sunday, she could have been the reigning Queen. So who will go into the weekend as the Chachi Championship Series number one?
1. NaNa – Movin’ On (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)
After a nine week journey, NaNa finally reaches the top! All I can say is it’s about time! With two videos on the Countdown and three nominations for this ONE VIDEO she has had a strong last quarter of 2007. This video is awesome and she is damn fine! Congrats to NaNa!
That is all for this weeks Countdown! Find out next Friday if she can make it two weeks in a row! Or will Alicia take back her throne? Or can TI hurt the Countdown for a third time and take the crown for the King? See you next Friday!
Tune in on Sunday to see who takes home the most Chachi’s! It’s sushi tomorrow night and if it doesn’t shit on Denver I am heading up there. Until Sunday, stay up peeps.
Chachi Out!
