You know what time it is! Valentine's Day is over and it is time for life to return to it's regular programming! It's time for the...
Chachi's Top 20 Video Countdown!
We begin with a video on its way out of the Countdown!
20. Bow Wow & Omarion – Hey Baby (Last Week #17)
It looks like Bow Wow and Omarion are spending their final weeks on the Countdown as their latest video falls three more spots to begin the chart. Bow Wow is really beginning to get on my nerves with his “lil thug” routine, BTW.
19. Erykah Badu - Honey (New Entry)
Miss Badu….or Andre Three Stacks babymama…is back! I totally love this video! It is good to see her back after some lackluster performances since she rocked Dave Chappelle’s Block Party. Hopefully she will stay in the limelight this time because she has been missed! Oh, and love the Ohio Players album cover.
18. NaNa – Movin’ On (Last Week #12, Six Weeks at #1)
After a near SIX MONTH run, it looks like NaNa’s first video is finally about to leave the Countdown. It is officially the longest running video in history and that title is well deserved because I STILL listen to this song and watch this video. I needs more NaNa!
17. Zeebra feat May J & SPHERE OF INFLUENCE – Shinin’ Like A Diamond (Last Week #14)
So it looks like Zeebra has hit his peak as well. Luckily, he has a new video out right now and at first glance its pretty good. I mean, it has samurai!
16. Hearts Grow - Kasanaru Kage (Last Week #18)
Hearts Grow moves up two spots this week as they slowly move their way back up the Countdown. You know, three singles and I would figure an album should be on the way shortly.
15. Abingdon Boys School – Blade Chord (Last Week #13)
WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE NEW TM REVOLUTION ALBUM?!
14. May J. – Do Tha, Do Tha (Last Week #10, One Week at #1)
Mmmm, the former number one video falls out of the Top 10 for the first time since 2007. Sadly it may be a long time before I get my fix because she has already released her album. Damn it.
13. Yui – Namidairo (Last Week #20, Biggest Mover)
Well guess who is looking for her fifth Top Ten video! Yui moves up a huge seven spots this week and right outside the upper echelon. My god, this means a new Yui album is coming soon. And I will be coming soon, too. Yes, that is a metaphor.
12. Snoop Dogg – Sexual Seduction (Last Week #8)
Snoop falls from the Top 10 this week after coming so close to the top he could taste it. Does he have another video in him?
11. Mihimaru GT – Diverge (Last Week #16)
After two slow weeks, Mihimaru GT is one step away from their third Top 10 video! Hiroko is fricking hot even though the dress leaves a lot to be admired. Yes, I would love to take that out for Valentine’s Day.
10. Alicia Keys – Like You’ll Never See Me Again (Last Week #6, One Week at #1)
My Valentine baby boo has almost fallen out of the Top 10! Noooooooo!
9. RBD - Inalcanzable (Last Week #11)
RBD has only their second video on the Countdown but the look to recapture the success of “Ser O Paracer” from 2006. Oh, and they aren’t coming to Denver for their fucking tour, either. Damn it!
8. Bennie K – Monochrome (Last Week #12)
Bennie K is back in the Top 10! You know, they have been lo-key about it but they have had four Top 10 videos including a number one video with “Joy Trip.” Shocking to me that my favorite band ever is below the radar but they keep on coming!
7. UVERworld - Roots (Last Week #9)
We are into the familiar faces territory now with Bennie K before and now UVERworld! Can Takuya and the boys keep moving strong after a surprisingly good album but nothing new on the horizon? We will see!
6. Sowelu – Hikari (Last Week #5)
After making the Top Five, Sowelu falls a spot to number six. Screw that, NEW SOWELU VIDEO! And my god is she hot. Just HOT HOT HOT! HOOOOOOOOT!
5. Nelly Furtado – In God’s Hands (Last Week #7)
Nelly Furtado is looking for her second number one video as she pulls herself into the Top Five! It looks like she may be going head to head with John Legend again for the first time in almost a year! Can she win the rubber match?
4. NaNa – SHOW GIRL (Last Week #3, Two Weeks at #1)
NaNa falls only one spot this week as she hangs on to the Top 5. Okay, unless someone pulls of something major it looks like NaNa will be the artist of 2008. No argument here.
3. John Legend – Show Me (Last Week #4)
John Legend is ONCE AGAIN in the Top Three as he looks for his fourth number one video. Can John make history?
2. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Amazing (Last Week #2)
For the second straight week, HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR holds on to the runner up spot. However…NEW HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR! My god, I am so looking forward to a new album from them. I mean god damn they kick your face! With HAMC at number two, that means the number one video remains the same…
1. Lupe Fiasco feat Kanye West, Pharrell & Thom Yorke – Us Placers (Last Week #1, Two Weeks at #1)
CRS and Thom Yorke hold the top spot once again! Lupe Fiasco has always been a favorite of mine and his new video “Dumb It Down” may be the truest song I have ever heard. Kanye’s “Flashing Lights” however….not so much. What the hell is going on in that thing?! Either way, this video looks to be camping out for a long time. Congratulations!
That is all for this week! Can the super group of CRS hold on for a third straight week? Or can HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR finally pull down the top spot? Or can John Legend make history and get his FOURTH number one video? Tune in next Friday to find out!
I will have the polls up for Douchebrawl 2008 Sunday night (I hope!) and voting will officially begin! Until then, it is Friday, I just got paid and I am TOTALLY getting tore up! Stay up, peeps!
Diddy Out.
