What is up peeps! It is Friday and it is time to see if history was made! We have the 20 biggest videos on tap on the…
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
We begin with the group that could arguably be the biggest group of the spring!
20. The Roots feat. Chrisette Michelle & Wale – Rising Up (New Entry)
The Roots are BACK! Their new album is out next Tuesday while they have a new video as well! I am feeling this a lot more than I am “Get Busy” but as usual it isn’t on BET or MTV rotations so this may be the only place you see it for now.
19. Alicia Keys – Teenage Love Affair (New Entry)
Alicia Keys’ fine self is BACK ON THE SCENE! I just saw this video today and I usually have a strict rule about Thursday being the cutoff date but I had to make an exception here. Alicia is fine as hell in this video and this song is one of my favorites on her album. Can she make it three straight number one videos? We will see!
18. Lupe Fiasco feat Kanye West, Pharrell & Thom Yorke – Us Placers (Last Week #15, Four Weeks at #1)
CRS’s run is almost over. It was a good six months (Almost. Damn it has been a while!) but they look to finally be falling off. With everyone returning (Including NERD, who has a weird ass song that I hope isn’t the first single) to the Countdown they weren’t gone THAT long.
17. Hearts Grow - Kasanaru Kage (Last Week #13)
Hearts Grown falls a big four spots this week as they look to be spending their last weeks on the chart. Nothing new on the horizon, which is disappointing.
16. TERIYAKI BOYZ - ZOCK ON! feat. Pharrell and Busta Rhymes - ZOCK ON! (Last Week #14)
The Boyz and their posse fall two spots this week as they continue to hold on to the bottom half of the Countdown. Not really feeling this song anymore now that Soulja Boy knows about it. Kind of ruins it.
15. Colbie Caillat – Realize (Last Week #17)
My guilty pleasure moves up two spots this week. Kind of still trying to hide the fact I love this song but…it isn’t working very well.
14. RBD - Inalcanzable (Last Week #9)
The Rebels fall out of the Top 10! It was a good run for Anahi and the gang but they couldn’t knock off Bennie K from the top. Where is the new stuff?!
13. Kelun – SIXTEEN GIRL (Last Week #18, Biggest Mover)
One of the two big movers up the Countdown this week as Kelun moves up FIVE spots! The new intro to Bleach featuring “Chu-Bura” came out this week and after some soul searching about the situation and some motivating words from some people, maybe some filler is what the show needs. I am just excited for the next half of the arc to be animated. Even still, WHERE IS THE KELUN ALBUM?!
12. Mihimaru GT – Diverge (Last Week #10)
After falling to take the top spot, Mihimaru GT continue their fall from the Top 10 as they move down two spots. Their new video is growing on me, but I still can’t find the movie in the clips. Any ideas or a little help here?
11. Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy (Last Week #16, Biggest Mover)
The second big mover this week! The J-R&B legend moves up five big spots as he is looking impressive for his first ever time on the Countdown! Dare I say….Misia could be my new baby boo because she can sing like a champ. I like ladies that can really sing….it’s a weakness.
10. The Roots feat Dice Raw & Peedi Crack – Get Busy (Last Week #9)
With a new video debuting, it looks like their earlier video is losing momentum. Here is hoping that Peedi Crack has some new material this year. I kind of like his stuff.
9. Kanye West feat. Chris Martin – Homecoming (Last Week #11)
Kanye officially has his SIXTH Top 10 video! His latest moves up two spots as he looks to get his third number one. This is probably my second favorite song on the “Graduation” album behind Stronger so it could be a big one for him.
8. Erykah Badu - Honey (Last Week #6)
Miss Badu falls another two spots as her run looks to have slowed down. I heard she has a new single on the radio so a video should be soon after. Yay, me!
7. Lupe Fiasco feat Nikki Jean – Hip Hop Saved My Life (Last Week #8)
Lupe moves up another spot this week as he looks to go two for two in 2008. I am really beginning to feel this video and it is getting a lot of airplay on the MTV Jams station that I have as background noise as I work from home.
6. Yui – Namidairo (Last Week #4)
Yui falls two more spots after failing to unseat Bennie K (Running theme…) a few weeks back not she does have another video AND she may have the biggest album of 2008 thus far. Not to shabby.
5. Usher feat. Young Jeezy – Love In This Club (Last Week #7)
Usher moves up two spots this week and rests in the Top Five this week. This song is pretty much everywhere and as stupid as it is….it’s fucking Usher. You can’t beat that with a baseball bat.
4. L`Arc~en~Ciel – DRINK IT DOWN (Last Week #5)
The Arc moves up another spot this week as they look to take the throne once again. They just released an album in 2007 but I guess they heard my pleas and are working on another one as we speak. I could go for a Hyde solo album right now. We are down to three!
3. Bennie K – Monochrome (Last Week #1, Seven Weeks at #1)
THE REIGN IS OVER!! After a mind-blowing SEVEN WEEKS at number one, Bennie K falls two spots this week! It is a shame since their greatest hits collection just came out but everyone falls sometime. So Yuki and Cico remain tied for the longest reigning number one video with UGK & Outkast. Not a bad gig if I say so myself. That means we have a new number one for the first time in two months!
2. Yui – Laugh Away (Last Week #3)
Yui moves up another spot this week as she looks for her elusive third number one video! With no Bennie K in the way she may be able to do just that. However, to do that she must knock off the group that took down the unstoppable force that was Bennie K.
1. Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F. (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)
After two videos failed against UGK & Outkast, Foxxi MisQ finally captures the top spot! They knocked off the reigning champs of almost two months in Bennie K and now have their first seat on the throne that is the number one video of the week! It was a long journey but they finally did it! Being the first person since NaNa to hit number one without previously holding the top spot, they will soon learn that it is competitive to stay on top. Until then, Foxxi MisQ are the Queens of the Countdown!
That is all for this week! Tune in next week to see if Foxxi MisQ can keep their run alive! Or will Yui FINALLY get her elusive third number one video? Or can Bennie K take the top spot back once again and hold the record for longest reigning number one video all alone? Tune in next week to find out!
I am out. I will be seeing “Harold & Kumar II” before all the bros see it to avoid me killing them. I will be back on Saturday as I believe I am going to D-Town so I can run the streets. Peace out, ya’ll.
Chachi Out.
