You know what time it is! It’s time for the…
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
We start with a mainstay on their way out!
20. Mihimaru GT – I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY (Last Week #17)
New Mihimaru GT! Ballad style! Sadly, this video is on its way out after not making the Top 5. Let’s see if they can rebound!
19. Bow Wow & Omarion – Hey Baby (New Entry)
Yes….I am shocked too. Yet, I have been listening to this song everyday for the last three weeks or so and the video doesn’t make me change the channel. Omarion has been on the Countdown before with “Ice box” and I guess he will have to carry Bow Wow because I am not a fan. Really a bit TI-ish for me.
18. Zeebra feat May J & SPHERE OF INFLUENCE – Shinin’ Like A Diamond (Last Week #20)
Mmmm….May J. That is all.
17. One Republic feat. Timbaland – Apologize (Last Week #15)
So these guys have literally fallen off the map in 2008. I mean I don’t see them ANYWHERE after seeing them EVERYWHERE three months ago. A tad bit shocking.
16. TI feat. AlfaMega & Busta Rhymes - Hurt (Last Week #12)
So I guess this may be the end of TI for a while. Supposedly he is using his house arrest time to pull a 2Pac and work on some new material. Interesting….”Me Against The World 2”?
15. UVERworld - Roots (Last Week #18)
Wow, The World snuck an album on me. You know what pisses me off? Every song that wasn’t released as a video KICKS ASS! I mean it is leaps and bounds above BUGRIGHT. What in the fuck happened there?! We now have a front-runner for the 2008 Chachi for Album of the Year!
14. Paramore – CrushCrushCrush (Last Week #10)
Paramore continues their fall down the Countdown. Still waiting for some new stuff…
13. Nelly Furtado – In God’s Hands (Last Week #16)
So um….I love you, Nelly. Your live DVD is my only reason for living right now because I have given up on women altogether. *sigh* 2008 is starting up pretty crappy.
12. NLT – I Said, She Said (Last Week #14)
NLT slowly moves toward the Top 10, moving up two spots this week.
11. Asian Kung-Fu Generation – After Dark (Last Week #8)
NEW AKFG!!! Coming soon, bitches! Also, Bleach no longer sucks! Wow, 2008 is looking up….yet I am a nerd because that is my crowning achievement so far.
10. Sowelu – Hikari (Last Week #11)
Mmm, tastes GOOOOOOOD! The Top 10 just got sexier! Sowelu hits the upper half for the first time since topping the chart with EXILE and DOBERMAN INC last fall! Can she join the current ladies party at number one?
9. John Legend – Show Me (Last Week #13)
John Legend officially has his FIFTH TOP TEN VIDEO! Now UVERworld isn’t far behind with “Roots” but right now, John Legend is the official King of the Countdown. Great video, btw.
8. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Amazing (Last Week #9)
HaMC moves up a little bit this week as they attempt to bring a little more rock to the Countdown. So, they had the Best of collection but are they giving us a new album soon?
7. NaNa – Movin’ On (Last Week #4, Six Weeks at #1)
After ruling the Countdown since November, NaNa is making a quick descent down the chart as she falls from the Top 5 for the first time since OCTOBER. Now that is a dominant run. Can her newest video have the same success?
6. Snoop Dogg – Sexual Seduction (Last Week #7)
Yes, Snoop Dogg is moving toward the top and I am beginning to really not hate this guy anymore. This almost makes up for Doggy Fizzle Tele-vizzle. ALMOST.
5. Abingdon Boys School – Blade Chord (Last Week #5)
ABS holds tight at number five this week as they seem to have stalled. Will this be their first video not to make the Top Three?
4. Lupe Fiasco feat Kanye West, Pharrell & Thom Yorke – Us Placers (Last Week #6)
Lupe, Kanye and Pharrell creep into the Top Five, giving Kanye his fourth video to reach this high. Lupe is up here for the first time and Pharrell is officially enjoying the ride. It is a pretty good gig. So for the third straight week, the Top Three are the same people….but in what order?
3. May J. – Do Tha, Do Tha (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)
After FINALLY capturing the top spot, May J falls two spots to number three. She got the crown and albeit short, not many artists can say they topped this chart. Congratulations, May J. With your fine behind.
2. NaNa – SHOW GIRL (Last Week #3)
NaNa is once again one step away from number one! She moves up to the runner up spot and she is looking for her second number one video in the short New Year. Now THAT is a good run if I say so myself. Well, we have a new number one video…
1. Alicia Keys – Like You’ll Never See Me Again (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)
Alicia is back on top! After dominating the chart for 5 weeks last year, Alicia grabs the top spot once again with this mini-movie. This song is officially my favorite song not by Lupe Fiasco and the video is awesome. Now it is official as Alicia has her second number one video. Congrats!
That is all for this week! Tune in next Friday to see if Alicia can hold on for a second week? Or will NaNa capture the top spot yet again and officially throw in her name as Queen of the Countdown? Or will Lupe, Kanye and Pharrell take the top spot and be the first males at number one since UGK? Tune in next week to find out!
Well, I am out. I need to change clothes and brave the shitty ass elements and head downtown. I will try to be back on Monday for a true rant. Strap yourselves in….it’s gonna be messed up. Stay up peeps!
Chachi Out!
