Sorry...I Came A Little Early. This Time It's A Good Thing!

What is this? Didn’t I JUST SAY the Friday staple was making a onetime only appearance on Saturday? Hell no, I gots to give ya’ll what ya want! So let’s get this party started, albeit late!

Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!

We begin with a surprising success on its way out!

20. Snoop Dogg – Sexual Seduction (Last Week #16)
It looks to be the end of the road for The Doggfather as he is about to fall off the Countdown. He had a good run, even hitting the Top Five. Just saw his new video and….I am not a fan.
19. The Roots feat Dice Raw & Peedi Crack – Get Busy (New Entry)

HELL YEAH! The Roots are back in your fricking face! First Kanye, then Talib, then Lupe and now Black Thought and The Roots drop a new video and needless to say it aint like the other rap videos. You know….this could be the year rap comes back like cooked crack. Yeah, I said it.
18. Kid Sister feat. Kanye West – Pro Nails (Last Week #20)
Okay….I listened to this song like 10 times on the way to Boise and it was on when I landed. After a few weeks it has begun to grow on me. You know, if Kaba Modern danced to this…we could have ourselves a battle here.
17. Alicia Keys – Like You’ll Never See Me Again (Last Week #14, One Week at #1)
NO ALICIA! It is almost the end of the road for Miss Keys. Ever since September of 2007 Alicia has been a staple on this Countdown and for the first time since then it looks like she may not have a video on here. It hurts inside.
16. Yui – Laugh Away (New Entry)

After being gone for almost five months, Yui has TWO VIDEOS in the Top 20 yet again! Her album is FINALLY coming out in April and I am totally waiting for that day! This new video has a “CHE.R.RY” feel to it which means good stuff.
15. James Morrison – You Give Me Something (Last Week #18)
Mr. Morrison moves up a big three spots this week. You know, I don’t get to see this video often enough because….well people suck and don’t want to hear good music. I bet you there is a Lil’ Mama video on somewhere.
14. Sowelu – Hikari (Last Week #12)
Sowelu falls another two spots this week after coming so close to following up the success of “24Karats.” There is a new album coming soon so it aint all bad.
13. Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F. (Last Week #15)

I got nothing. Just look at them.
12. NaNa – SHOW GIRL (Last Week #10, Two Weeks at #1)
Well, it was bound to happen. NaNa doesn’t have a video in the Top 10 for the first time in 4 months. Pretty kickass streak and I am STILL WAITING FOR SOMETHING NEW.
11. Erykah Badu - Honey (Last Week #13)
I need to pick up her new album! Oh, and this video is officially everywhere. It isn’t as good as “On & On” or “Love Of My Life” but it is up there. Not only that, she is a step away from her first Top Ten video! Nice!
10. Hearts Grow - Kasanaru Kage (Last Week #11)
We start off the upper half with a repeat contender! Hearts Grow is looking to better the success of “Himawari” and with this video they may just do it! I haven’t heard much about what they plan on doing about an album but I am looking forward to it.
9. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Amazing (Last Week #7)
HAMC falls another two spots this week in a tad of a shocker. Their new video should be on soon though because I am really beginning to like it.
8. Yui – Namidairo (Last Week #9)
We have more Yui! Remember when I demanded more Yui every three minutes? Well, now I got it and I cannot be happier. Although I am looking for another “Rolling Star” but you can’t win them all, you know?
7. UVERworld - Roots (Last Week #6)
After a strong run, it looks like The World isn’t going to take over the top spot. It is a shame because their new album is better as a WHOLE than “BUGRIGHT” but it had “Shamrock” and that is really hard to top.
6. Mihimaru GT – Diverge (Last Week #8)

You know, some of you may think that Mihimaru GT came from nowhere with this dominance of the Countdown but they have been around for a minute and I have been a fan for a second. Because of that, they are moving up and looking for their second number one video. But now we are left with five!
5. Nelly Furtado – In God’s Hands (Last Week #3)
Nelly Furtado couldn’t take the top spot again. Nelly falls from the Top Three this week and looks to be falling farther. She has been running off of “Loose” since 2006 and it is about that time to give me something new. C’mon, woman!
4. RBD - Inalcanzable (Last Week #5)
RBD! RBD! RBD! The rebels move up one spot this week as they look to pull their first number one video! You know, I thought that their entry into the American market would have been better received but it is proof that America sucks ass. We passed on Joe Carter, too. To the Top Three!
3. John Legend – Show Me (Last Week #2)

John couldn’t do it! After two weeks at runner up, “Show Me” went the way of “Stereo” and falls just short of the top. However, John is the most dominant force on the Countdown since it’s humble beginnings in 2006. That is a good feat with all the great videos he has had to compete with. And then there were two!
2. Lupe Fiasco feat Kanye West, Pharrell & Thom Yorke – Us Placers (Last Week #1, Four Weeks at #1)

SHOCKER! After a dominant one month run, CRS falls a spot and relinquishes the top spot! This video is still great and I still love the song but there was one video that stood above the rest. And despite the greatness of this video, we have a NEW NUMBER ONE VIDEO!!
1. Bennie K – Monochrome (Last Week #4, One Week at #1)

After only a month, Bennie K takes their first number one spot on over a year! As a matter of fact, it was over a year between this video and “1001 Nights” but Yuki and Cico’s fine selves came back with a vengeance! I listen to this song and watch this video every day (even at work) and it is simply awesome! It has been a short ride but Bennie K is back on top!

That is all for this week! Tune in next week to see if Bennie K can hold on for another week! Or with the combined might of CRS topple them and recapture the throne? Or can RBD’s combined hotness heat up the top? Tune in to find out!

I brought this up a day early because I had some time to finish this up because I am too exhausted to go out after a week of intensive training. However, I will have a recap of my trip to Boise and Douchebrawl results on Sunday. Tomorrow….I think it is Denver time. Until next time, stay up.

Diddy Out.

I AINT DEAD, A-HOLES!

I’M BACK, BITCHES! I just landed about 20 minutes ago and I had to let you know that the kid aint dead! However, everything is pushed back a day. The Countdown will make a rare Saturday appearance (NEW NUMBER ONE VIDEO!!!) and the usual Saturday blog will be up on SUNDAY. However, the Second Round of Douchebrawl WILL end on Sunday night and the Suckass Sixteen will begin soon after! I will also have a full recap of my week in Boise. Just know this: there are a LOT of White people there. A LOT OF THEM. More this weekend; stay tuned. Until then, stay up!

Diddy Out!
