Alright people, it is about that time! It’s time for the….
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
Yeah, I am keeping the name the same for now. It’s a staple. We begin with a new video from a former number one group!
20. Mihimaru GT – Diverge (New Entry)
YES! MY GOD YES! Hiroko….I think I love you. Seriously, we should go out for coffee sometime. She looks SO DAMN FINE in this video that I can’t say anything else. Mihimaru is fricking back!
19. One Republic feat. Timbaland – Apologize (Last Week #17)
Well, the ride is over. After a run in the Top 10, One Republic looks to be spending their final week on the Countdown. Quite a run, but just fell short of greatness.
18. TI feat. AlfaMega & Busta Rhymes - Hurt (Last Week #16)
Well, looks like we may not have to wait too long for some more TI. As I stated last week, he is currently working on an album and it looks to be out this spring, at the latest summer. Shocking for a guy going to the pen.
17. Bow Wow & Omarion – Hey Baby (Last Week #19)
Well, I’ll be damns. Bow Wow and Omarion actually are moving up this week. Shocking, mainly because this video doesn’t irritate the hell out of me. Even more shocking is that Omarion STILL HAS NOT MADE A VIDEO FOR MAN UP WITH BI!! I’m still bitter.
16. Paramore – CrushCrushCrush (Last Week #14)
Another band taking a huge tumble this week. Paramore continues to move down with no new video in sight. Man, I needs me some more Hayley!
15. Zeebra feat May J & SPHERE OF INFLUENCE – Shinin’ Like A Diamond (Last Week #18)
So um….May J is in this video. In a kimono. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?!
14. Asian Kung-Fu Generation – After Dark (Last Week #11)
So I just saw the new AKFG video and I must say….these dudes are really funny looking. Great music but man, they are NOT N*SYNC. Few are, but man they REALLY ARENT N*SYNC.
13. UVERworld - Roots (Last Week #15)
So The World moves up another two spots this week as they keep pace with John Legend and Nelly Furtado. It is good to see them back because there was a long stretch where they just weren’t kicking out the jams like they did in 2006. Maybe their fourth album will kick even more ass.
12. NLT – I Said, She Said (Last Week #12)
NLT stands pat this week just outside the Top 10. Their album comes out next month, I hope it’s more Backstreet than Color Me Badd. You know what I mean.
11. Nelly Furtado – In God’s Hands (Last Week #13)
Nelly Furtado is one step away from her fifth Top 10 Video! Despite the fact she only has one number one video on the Countdown, she has built up quite a track record if you ask me. Oh, and I still need the “Loose Live” DVD. Late birthday present?
10. NaNa – Movin’ On (Last Week #7, Six Weeks at #1)
We are in the Top 10 and it was over two long months ago that NaNa entered the Top 10 for the first time. She stayed there until right now including a six week run at the top spot. I am SO WAITING for an album from NaNa.
9. Sowelu – Hikari (Last Week #10)
Mmmmm….gimme some of that owelu. She moves up a spot this week as she continues so sexy up my Countdown. Is she coming out with an album soon?
8. Abingdon Boys School – Blade Chord (Last Week #5)
ABS falls three spots this week after peaking at number 5 for two weeks. Rumor is that TM is going back into the studio for (WAIT FOR IT) another TM Revolution album. HELL YES!! THAT’S WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!
7. John Legend – Show Me (Last Week #9)
John Legend is back and this video is the first I have seen of his in heavy rotation since “Ordinary People”. The video is very good and actually supports a cause. As you know…I am not about causes. But for John, I will break that rule.
6. May J. – Do Tha, Do Tha (Last Week #3, One Week at #1)
After finally taking the top spot, May J. falls three more spots and out of the Top 5. All I can say is….damn, she is fine. We are down to five!
5. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Amazing (Last Week #8)
HaMC finally climb into the Top 5! After a long career, they bring their newest video into the upper echelon. I am upset this wasn’t on the greatest hits album, but I will get over it. This video makes up for any bitterness I had.
4. Snoop Dogg – Sexual Seduction (Last Week #6)
Well, hell has frozen over. Snoop Dogg has climbed into the Top Five. I wont lie…I like this video. The song is late night greatness and maybe I don’t want to see Snoop mauled by bears. Wait….”Soul Plane.” Fuck that, he’s gotta go!
3. Lupe Fiasco feat Kanye West, Pharrell & Thom Yorke – Us Placers (Last Week #4)
The Child, The Rebel and the Soldier have moved into the Top three after only six weeks! As many of you know, I am all about this song and if you don’t know, now you do. Not only that, the video is actually pretty damn good to boot. Can they end the ladies night that has dominated the Countdown recently?
2. Alicia Keys – Like You’ll Never See Me Again (Last Week #1, One Week at #1)
After only one week on top, Alicia Keys relinquishes the top spot! It is a little disappointing after the run that “No One” had but…that video was WAY HOTTER. I love Alicia in this video, but women crying set off my panic button. We are down to one!
1. NaNa – SHOW GIRL (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)
And in a shocker, NaNa pulls her second number one video of this short 2008! I was just watching this video the other day (in between my learning of bokgo because that is BAD ASS) and needless to say, I loves me some NaNa. Congrats to NaNa for going two-for-two!
That is all for now! Tune in next week to see if NaNa can make it two weeks in a row! Or will Alicia Keys take the top again? Or will CRS share the throne? Tune in next week and find out!
I’ll be back this weekend at some point. Until then, stay up peeps.
Diddy Out. Take that, take that, take that.
