Well it is Friday so you know what day it is and what happens at about this time! It’s time for the….
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!!!
We start with a debut for a group waiting a LONG TIME for their first video on the Countdown!
20. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Amazing (New Entry)
For the first time ever, HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR make it onto the Countdown! They have had some kick ass songs and videos but this is their first foray into the Top 20. This video is rather rawk but it’s the SONG that rawks your face off. Like Evanescence with from the Far East.
19. Sowelu, EXILE & DOBERMAN INC – 24 Karat (Last Week #16, One week at #1)
NEW SOWELU! EVEN NEWER EXILE! Two debuts next week, I guarantee it! This video didn’t pull a Chachi this year but it will be on the Year End Extravaganza!
18. Snoop Dogg – Sexual Seduction (New Entry)
Yeah, I was shocked too. I would never think that Snoop Dogg would make it on here but lo and behold he makes his first trip. All I can say is that this song is fucking awesome. As for the video…the 70’s were fantastic and you know it. It took 15 years, but Snoop finally made a song I really like.
17. Yui – Love & Truth (Last Week #14)
This year’s big nominee took home NO VIDEO AWARDS! A shocker, but at the same time UGK had that big of a year. BTW, rest in peace for Pimp C. You will be missed, Sweet Jones.
16. Nelly Furtado – Do It (Last Week #11, Plunge of the Week)
Nelly Furtado falls a big five spots this week. Despite that, Nelly won two big Chachi Awards this year, to go along with her three from last year to be the winningest person ever at the Chachi Awards!
15. Abingdon Boys School – Blade Chord (Last Week #17)
ABS moves up a modest two places after a big day on Sunday. They took home FOUR awards on the music end but were shut out on the video end. They did win the most awards aside from a certain someone…
14. Daughtry – Over You (Last Week #11)
Daughtry falls three spots this week as we move closer to the Top 10. In a shocker, Daughtry was shut out this year thanks to Abingdon Boys School. Take away ABS and he may have been three for three.
13. Paramore – CrushCrushCrush (Last Week #15)
Paramore inches toward their second Top 10 video of 2007. I am wondering if they are going to make a new video or just go for it and create a new album. Here is hoping for the latter because the more Hayley the better.
12. Kanye West feat. T-Pain - GoodLife (Last Week #9)
Kanye falls out of the Top Ten right before the end of the year. He only won one award this year, but it was the biggest of them all. Supposedly he has a video for “Champion” soon and I am looking forward to that.
11. NaNa – SHOW GIRL (Last Week #19, Biggest Mover)
HELLS. YES. All I can say is that without NaNa my life would be pretty darn crappy right now. She won a Chachi for Best Dance Video (along with Bi) and this video moves up a big EIGHT SPOTS this week! Mmm…this could be the hawtest year ever.
10. Mihimaru GT – I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY (Last Week #14)
We are in the Top 10 and Mihimaru GT has their second Top 10 of the last three months! Can this video capture the top spot like “Gazen Yeah!” did? We will have to see because there is some STIFF competition in the Top 10 right now.
9. Alicia Keys – Like You’ll Never See Me Again (Last Week #10)
After a huge jump, Alicia Keys moves up only one spot this week. With her fine self. She tied with Abingdon Boys School for the most Chachi’s last Sunday even with her album only being out for two months! Good stuff. Oh, and she is hawt. Just in case I haven’t said it in the last three minutes.
8. Paramore – Misery Business (Last Week #5)
Paramore falls from the Top Five for the first time in a month after peaking at number 2 three weeks ago. They were shut out of the Chachi’s this year because of ABS but they have had an awesome last quarter of 2007. Can’t argue with two videos in the Top 20.
7. One Republic feat. Timbaland – Apologize (Last Week #8)
One Republic moves up a spot this week as they make their first trip on the Countdown count. It will be interesting to see how they follow this up. This video has been a SMASH all over the place and it is really hard to make another hit like this. I’m just saying.
6. May J. – Do Tha, Do Tha (Last Week #7)
Just got May J’s album. The cup….hath been filled.
5. Alicia Keys – No One (Last Week #2, Five Weeks at #1)
Alicia falls a big three spots this week but stays in the Top 5. She has two videos in the Top 10 and may be able to pull off only what Foxxi MisQ and UVERworld has done and have two videos in the Top 5. Actually, Foxxi had the number two AND three videos at one point but that may never happen again. Or may it?
4. Asian Kung-Fu Generation – After Dark (Last Week #6)
The Asian Kung Fu Generation is in the Top 5 for the first time ever! Pretty good for their first time out and being off the scene for about a year or so. On another note, there is no new episode of Bleach this week (to which I say boo) but they are getting ready to cut loose against Espada (kind of) so that should rule.
3. Yuna Ito – Urban Mermaid (Last Week #4)
Yuna has her second Top Three video of 2007! Yuna hasn’t been this high for a long time and she hopes to stay there. I still love the live performances of this song because…well I think she has nice legs. Sue me, I’m in love.
2. TI feat. AlfaMega & Busta Rhymes - Hurt (Last Week #3)
TI follows up his two Chachi wins by moving one step closer to his third number one video! I am hoping for something new soon because his first two videos were lackluster. He kind of owes me. With TI at number two, the Champ is still here….
1. NaNa – Movin’ On (Last Week #1, Two Weeks at #1)
….and it is NaNa! She spends her second week at #1 as she has another video moving up the Countdown at rocket speed! I am still waiting for the album but until then I have enough NaNa to last me for a while. Where are the live shows at? I’m thinking it would be like a Namie Amuro show. Congratulations!
That is all for this week! Tune in next week to see if NaNa can make it three weeks at the top! Or will finally take his crown back as King? Or will Yuna stake her claim as Queen of the Countdown? Tune in next week to find out! Until then, stay up peeps! I will try to have a blog up this weekend!
Chachi Out!
