No time to waste, I am late enough as is! I may be pregnant! You know what it’s time for…
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
It is the first Countdown of the new year but we have an old video at number twenty!
20. Paramore – Misery Business (Last Week #16)
Looks like it’s the end of the road for this video. It hit number two last year for two weeks and has been falling ever since. They currently have another video on here, let’s see if it can duplicate the success.
19. Nelly Furtado – In God’s Hands (New Entry)
Hmm…John Legend is back and now Nelly Furtado has returned! It’s like 2006 all over again! It’s interesting because I was figuring “What I Wanted” would be the next single bur here we are with this song which I ALSO LOVE. Not much she can do to anger me, I must say. Even still, this is a very cool vid.
18. Alicia Keys – No One (Last Week #15, Five Weeks at #1)
Well, it was an awesome run but it looks to be over for another star. The fine Alicia Keys falls another three spots this week. The second biggest video of 2007 without a doubt will be on the 2008 Countdown
17. John Legend – Show Me (Last Week #20)
John moves up a modest (for John, anyway) three spots this week. Don’t look now, but he has tied Yui with five videos on the Countdown! Can he break the record for most number one videos and get his fourth? Stay tuned to find out!
16. Yuna Ito – Urban Mermaid (Last Week #12)
Yuna falls four big spots this week and there hasn’t been any word of a new album coming so needless to say I am a bit torqued about that. I’m just saying, I loves her.
15. NLT – I Said, She Said (Last Week #18)
Theys movin! NLT is moving up this week as they attempt to be the first boy band to make the Top 10! That is a shocker seeing how much I like boy bands but thems the breaks.
14. Mihimaru GT – I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY (Last Week #10)
Where is the new video?! GIMME NOW!
13. Sowelu – Hikari (Last Week #14)
Sowelu moves up one spot this week as she tries to follow up the success of “24 Karats” and pull the number one spot down. There is some old staples and new competition on the chart so we will see if she can do it. She is hot enough.
12. One Republic feat. Timbaland – Apologize (Last Week #7, Plunge of the Week)
One Republic falls out of the Top Ten as they fall the most spots this week. Still nothing new from them as of yet, though.
11. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Amazing (Last Week #13)
In HAMC’s first foray into the Countdown they are making some big moves as they are knocking on the door of the upper half. Can they bring some rock to the Top 10? We are into the upper echelon!
10. Lupe Fiasco feat Kanye West, Pharrell & Thom Yorke – Us Placers (Last Week #17, Biggest Mover)
The biggest mover in a long time! The combined might of Lupe, Kanye and Pharrell move up a huge seven spots to land in the Top 10. That gives Kanye the record of five Top 10 videos, breaking Yui’s record! Could 2008 be just as big for Kanye as 2007? Can Lupe be the breakout star of the year? Can Pharrell stand there and say stuff? Yes!
9. Snoop Dogg – Sexual Seduction (Last Week #11)
Dammit! Damn you, Snoop! I love this song so fricking much! Not gonna hold back, this video is damn good. It looks like Snoop did something that didn’t piss me off. Good work, Calvin.
8. TI feat. AlfaMega & Busta Rhymes - Hurt (Last Week #6)
TI falls another two spots this week as it looks like his drought from the top spot continues. No word yet on much of anything from him as he looks to be under house arrest for a long….long time.
7. Paramore – CrushCrushCrush (Last Week #9)
Two more spots this week for Paramore as they move closer to the Top Five. Can Hayley lead the guys past the runner up post? It’s gonna be hard because from this point on we are dealing with some really stiff competition.
6. Abingdon Boys School – Blade Chord (Last Week #8)
Now this is a familiar sight. ABS has moved closer to the top this week as they attempt to get their third video in the Top 5. I am hella excited for the next bit of work from Abingdon Boys School but some new TM Revolution would be a nice change of pace. We are left with five!
5. Asian Kung-Fu Generation – After Dark (Last Week #2)
After holding on to the runner up position for two straight weeks, AKFG falls three big spots. This was still an impressive showing by a classing j-rock group that deserves to be up here. Sadly, like Orange Range they came up short.
4. NaNa – SHOW GIRL (Last Week #5)
NaNa makes a short move this week, moving up one spot this week. I am beginning to like this video a TAD BIT more than “Movin On” because….damn, she is fine. The dancing is a lot better in the original but something about the showgirl outfit…damn. We are left with three!
3. Alicia Keys – Like You’ll Never See Me Again (Last Week #4)
Alicia moves into the Top Three! We were beginning to miss you baby. This video has finally grown on me to the point that I stop what I am doing to watch it. Most videos don’t do that because I download them all but….damn. She is looking good.
2. May J. – Do Tha, Do Tha (Last Week #3)
Once again, May J. moves up to number two! She was here last year around this time with “Here We Go” but failed to knock off Yui. This video is damn hot and May is damn fine (I even got a certain someone to agree). Will that and saucy dancing be enough to pull down the top spot? It wasn’t this week….
1. NaNa – Movin’ On (Last Week #1, Six Weeks at #1)
….As the Queen is still here! NaNa holds on to the top spot for a SIXTH STRAIGHT WEEK! The first number one of 2008 is the same as the last one of 2007. This puts her ahead of Alicia Keys and Shakira for the longest reigning number one for a female and one week behind UGK & Outkast for the longest no-retroed! Not like it’s a surprise, this is one of the best! Congrats on the record!
That is all for now! I am out to cool off a bit because I am pissed the hell off. Tune in next week to see if NaNa can hold on to the top for the seventh consecutive week! Don’t forget, UGK did it with a break, not all in a row. Or will May J finally get her elusive number one video? Or will Alicia prove that she is the Queen of the Countdown with her second number one? It was almost an all ladies Top 5 this week, can they keep it up? See you next Friday, a lot earlier.
Chachi Out!
