What is up, peeps! As usual it is a fucking cold Friday but you know I gotta give you the staple….albeit late as hell once again. It’s time for the …
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
We begin with a superstar in 2007 on her way out…
20. Nelly Furtado – Do It (Last Week #18)
After three months, Nelly Furtado is on her way off the Countdown. She once again did not hit number one, making her only one for four with her last album’s videos. Even still, she was at number two three times for a combined 8 weeks which by default makes her Queen of the Countdown. Or does it?
19. NLT – I Said, She Said (New Entry)
YES! Finally a new boy band! NLT has caught my attention with this song and video. Mainly because of Timbaland’s production but this is a very well put together song and the video reminds me of something a young 98 Degrees would do. Very catchy. Can they make an impact on the Countdown in 2008?
18. Daughtry – Over You (Last Week #16)
After a pretty big 2007, Daughtry looks to begin 2008 without a video on the Countdown. This video falls two more spots and looks to not be here next week. Kind of looking for something new. Also….Blake Lewis doesn’t SUCK as bad as I thought. His single is okay and I will listen to his album in a second. Weird, I swore he would set music back 20 years.
17. Sowelu – Hikari (Last Week #19)
YUMMY. All I can say about her. Sowelu moves up a modest two spots as she looks for her second number one. Needless to say, she is heating up the Countdown.
16. Kanye West feat. T-Pain - GoodLife (Last Week #14)
Kanye falls two more spots as he ends 2007 on a high note. I still haven’t found a video for “Champion” but given the circumstances I don’t blame him. Take your time.
15. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Amazing (Last Week #17)
H&MC are back and quickly moving up the Countdown! They are halfway to the top 10 for the first time ever and are looking for more. No word of a new album yet but when there is, I will sure enough get it.
14. Paramore – Misery Business (Last Week #12)
Paramore continues their slide down the chart this week although they have two videos on here to end the year. Could 2008 be as successful?
13. Snoop Dogg – Sexual Seduction (Last Week #15)
Yeah, this is shocking me too. Snoop Dogg is closing in on the Top 10 and I am shocked because hip hop in the Top 10 is rare unless your name is Kanye West or TI. Even still….this video is bad ass. Cant lie.
12. Alicia Keys – No One (Last Week #10, Five Weeks at #1)
NOT MY BABY BOO! Alicia falls out of the Top 10 for the first time since September and I am muy trieste. She is so damn fine. Luckily, we will see her on here later. But where?
11. Abingdon Boys School – Blade Chord (Last Week #13)
ABS is looking for their third Top 10 of 2007! It doesn’t even feel normal to have a Countdown without ABS on there and now things are back to status quo. Now that they are back, I can rest easy. We are in the Top 10!
10. Paramore – CrushCrushCrush (Last Week #11)
Paramore continues their run late this year as they chart their second Top 10! I am totally loving this song right now and this video is a little weird but it is good. That and Hayley is hawt.
9. Yuna Ito – Urban Mermaid (Last Week #6)
Yuna falls another three big spots this week but barely hangs on to the upper-tier. It has been a pretty good year for Yuna and hopefully 2008 will be Yuna-tastic! Not this week though.
8. Mihimaru GT – I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY (Last Week #8)
Mihimaru GT stands pat this week and takes a rest at number eight. The live performances of this song are just awesome. That and I think I am head over heels in love with Hiroko. She is quite nice.
7. NaNa – SHOW GIRL (Last Week #9)
NaNa inches ever so close to the Top Five this week even as her original video is still near (or maybe AT?) the top of the charts! All I can say is that I love this video and her dancing is on point. Aside from Ciara and BoA (on some days) no one is better. I have said it. The gauntlet has been so thrown!
6. One Republic feat. Timbaland – Apologize (Last Week #5)
One Republic looks to have run out of steam as they fall back one spot this week from the Top 5. Sometimes videos move backward to move forward (see UGK earlier this year) but I don’t know. I heard this song in a birth control commercial. If you don’t get that joke….I can’t help you. To the Top Five!
5. Alicia Keys – Like You’ll Never See Me Again (Last Week #7)
Oh yeah. The Top Five has officially been heated up to a toasty 300 Degrees Alicia! This mini-movie moves up to give Alicia her second Top 5 video this month! Can I also say that Alicia is almost better than John Legend live? Can I say that? Because I am.
4. May J. – Do Tha, Do Tha (Last Week #4)
May J. stays at number four this week. No complaint on my end. I like seeing her rest for a bit. Makes my day a little bit better each time I see her. We are down to the same three as last week….but in what order?
3. TI feat. AlfaMega & Busta Rhymes - Hurt (Last Week #2)
TI and company fall a spot from the runner up position to the bronze podium. After two weeks of trying to take his crown back, the king takes a step back and looks to have run out of gas. He is supposedly working on a new album so while he is in jail we should get some tunes, 2Pac style.
2. Asian Kung-Fu Generation – After Dark (Last Week #3)
Asian Kung Fu Generation is one step away! They have taken down the King this week as they look to make Bleach three-for-three with number one videos! Even without Bleach, this video stands alone as awesome so it does nothing but help. BTW…2ND BLEACH MOVIE OUT ON THE 22ND!! We are down to one…
1. NaNa – Movin’ On (Last Week #1, Four Weeks at #1)
…and she is the reigning Queen! NaNa holds the top spot for the 4th week in a row and I don’t think anyone can stop her! A shocking development seeing as how she was a relative unknown (by me) about four months ago. Now she is dominating the Countdown! Congratulations on joining the exclusive One Month Club!
Tune in next week for the final Top 20 Countdown of 2007! Will NaNa hold on for a fifth week? Or will Asian Kung Fu Generation finally get to the top? Or will TI turn it around and get his crown back? See in seven days!
That is all for now! It is but ass cold but I will see Dewey Cox and Sweeny Todd this weekend at some point. Until then, stay up peeps!
Chachi Out!
