Hip Hop Aint Dead! It Just Needs Some Electroshock...

No time to waste as I am sleepy!

Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!

We start with the longest staying video in Countdown history!

20. NaNa – Movin’ On (Last Week #12, Six Weeks at #1)
The (disputed) Queen of the Countdown holds on for one more week! The ride is pretty much over, but after almost six months who is complaining or holding it against her?
19. James Morrison – You Give Me Something (New Entry)

This was a video that almost made it on a few weeks ago but it was hell trying to find the video for it. Now I have and it is brilliant in its simplicity. I love this song STILL even though it’s rather old. James Morrison will be the next John Mayer as the “white dude with soul.” Bet on it.
18. Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F. (New Entry)

Well, I knew as soon as I saw this video it was going to be on here and so did you. I love Foxxi MisQ and so should you. It has been almost 8 months since “Gloss” and they have been missed. Most importantly…DEM GREW HER HAIR OUT!!! HAWT!
17. Abingdon Boys School – Blade Chord (Last Week #15)
NEW TM REVOLUTION COMING SOON!
16. Erykah Badu - Honey (Last Week #19)
Miss Badu moves up three big spots this week. Can she lay claim to the Queen of the Countdown throne?
15. May J. – Do Tha, Do Tha (Last Week #14, One Week at #1)
May J falls a spot this week as there is nothing new from what I can see so far.
14. Snoop Dogg – Sexual Seduction (Last Week #12)
New video by Snoop! Havent seen it yet, but I am a fan of the song itself, which is a rarity for his Dogg-ness.
13. Hearts Grow - Kasanaru Kage (Last Week #16)
Hearts Grow once again is moving up the Countdown. Where is an album from them? Three singles over a calendar year and nothing? Who do they think they are, Namie Amuro?!
12. Alicia Keys – Like You’ll Never See Me Again (Last Week #10, One Week at #1)
Alicia out of the Top 10 doesn’t feel right.
11. Yui – Namidairo (Last Week #12)

This week Yui only moves up one spot as she looks for her fifth Top Ten video!
10. Mihimaru GT – Diverge (Last Week #11)
For the third time in a row, Mihimaru GT hits the top half!
9. Sowelu – Hikari (Last Week #6)
Sowelu falls three big spots this week. New video though, so not all that bad.
8. RBD - Inalcanzable (Last Week #9)

Mmm….Anahi.
7. NaNa – SHOW GIRL (Last Week #4, Two Weeks at #1)
For the first time since November, we don’t have a NaNa video in the Top Five! That is quite a run for this young lady.
6. UVERworld - Roots (Last Week #7)
UVERworld is making its way up this week, hopping up one more spot. Seems to be slowing a bit though….
5. Bennie K – Monochrome (Last Week #8)
Bennie K is back in the Top 5 after three weeks! I just got the single last night and it was everything I ever dreamed of! And Yuki…I missed you, baby.
4. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Amazing (Last Week #2)
After two weeks in the runner up spot, HAMC could not take the throne! Still love this video, though.
3. Nelly Furtado – In God’s Hands (Last Week #5)

We have a familiar battle going on right now! Nelly Furtado moves up to the number three spot, giving her FIVE videos to make it this high! However, just ahead of her is…
2. John Legend – Show Me (Last Week #3)

….Mr. Legend who is looking for his fourth number one video! However, he is held back by what may be the supergroup of 2008!
1. Lupe Fiasco feat Kanye West, Pharrell & Thom Yorke – Us Placers (Last Week #1, Three Weeks at #1)

For the third week in a row, CRS takes the top spot on the Countdown! They have the longest running number one video of this short 2008 and they look to make it even more! Congrats, guys!

That is all for this Friday! Tune in next week to see if CRS can make it a full month on top! Or will John Legend get his record breaking fourth number one? Or can Nelly Furtado take the top spot for the second time? It’s an all star battle as Bennie K and UVERworld are just behind! It is going to be a rockin spring for music videos!

Well, I think I am going out for sake and sushi tonight and after that I am not sure. But until then, stay up.

Diddy Out.
