What is up, people! Its Friday here in the CSP and with every Friday comes the 20 biggest videos on the planet! It’s time for the…
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
Let’s get started!
20. RBD - Inalcanzable (Last Week #17)
It looks like the end for RBD as they fall three more spots as we begin the Countdown this week. Can it get any rougher for me seeing as how I may never get to see Anahi live? Oh, the pain…The PAIN.
19. Paramore – That’s What You Get (New Entry)
Paramore is back! After a four month hiatus, Paramore is back for…well…more. Hayley and crew are on the Countdown for a third time and have yet to hit the top spot. Foxxi MisQ finally broke their streak, can Paramore?
18. Mihimaru GT – Diverge (Last Week #14)
Looks like the end of the road for another Countdown staple. Three Top 10 videos (Including a three week stint at number one in 2007) is a great run and this video spent two weeks as the runner up to the monster that was Bennie K so buck up! They will be back.
17. TERIYAKI BOYZ - ZOCK ON! feat. Pharrell and Busta Rhymes - ZOCK ON! (Last Week #16)
The Boyz are STILL hanging on for dear life! It has been almost two months and they haven’t moved past number 14, but they are still here. How long can they last in the bottom half? Busta has two new videos out…and one may just get on here.
16. YA-KYIM – Super Looper (Last Week #20)
YA-KYIM is looking very impressive their first time out! The trio moves up four big spots this week, the second biggest jump of the week. This song is really….really catchy and I even found myself singing it in the shower. I NEVER sing in the shower.
15. The Roots feat. Chrisette Michelle & Wale – Rising Up (Last Week #18)
The Roots have a double play! Their newest video moves up three spots this week…
14. The Roots feat Dice Raw & Peedi Crack – Get Busy (Last Week #12)
….while their old joint falls two spots. Their album came out this week and debuted in the Top 10 on Billboard! Maybe people aren’t as dumb as I thought.
13. Erykah Badu - Honey (Last Week #10)
Miss Badu falls out of the Top 10 this week as we keep on moving. I haven’t heard about anything new yet which is kind of dishearting but that’s no big deal.
12. Colbie Caillat – Realize (Last Week #13)
Colbie is slowly moving up as she is two spots from the Top 10! This song is really growing on me, mostly because I am eternally lonely and need this song. It helps out some. But I have to say that her eyes are REALLY close together.
11. Yui – Namidairo (Last Week #8)
Yui falls out of the Top 10 this week and even though she has two songs on the Countdown it is a shocking trend that she has four straight videos hit number two. Not only did they hit number two they stayed there for multiple weeks. It’s a shame, but we have to move on!
10. Alicia Keys – Teenage Love Affair (Last Week #15, Biggest Mover)
My baby boo is back in the upper half! Alicia Keys moves up a big five spots for her third Top 10 video of 2008! Can she make it three for three from her latest CD? We will have to see about that. By the way….she is FINE.
9. Bennie K – Monochrome (Last Week #6, Seven Weeks at #1)
After a long run at the top, Bennie K falls three spots this week. Their greatest hits album was well worth the time to pick up, especially because of how much I still love “Dreamland.” However, I guess that means nothing new from them for a while, though. I miss Yuki and Cico already!
8. Kelun – SIXTEEN GIRL (Last Week #11)
Kelun move into the Top Ten! I still cannot find out when his next album comes out or when the single for “CHU-BURA” comes out. Hell, I can’t even find THIS SONG. It seems they always have to hide the stuff I want to actually hear. Kick ass stuff.
7. Yui – Laugh Away (Last Week #4)
Yui’s second video on the Countdown falls out of the Top Five this week. It has been a good year for Yui with a new album and two huge videos. Oh, and her live performance of this song was so cute I wanted to marry a kitten. Until I realized….it would never work. Two different worlds.
6. Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy (Last Week #9)
Kobuta and Misia are literally flying high! The duo moves up three big spots as they both make the most of their first visits on the Top 20. They may be new to the Countdown but they are J-R&B veterans and have been at this for a long time. WHERE IS THE ALBUM?!
5. Lupe Fiasco feat Nikki Jean – Hip Hop Saved My Life (Last Week #5)
We are into the Top Five and we begin with an artist that already has a number one video in 2008! Lupe moves up by himself (Kind of) as he looks to cement his name as a contender for the Chachi for Artist of the Year. Big year so far, but let’s see how the year plays out.
4. Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F. (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)
After finally breaking the streak, Foxxi MisQ slows their descent down a tad as they fall only two spots this week. From how it looks, we should have a sequel to “Gloss” by the end of the summer and I am hella pumped about that. We are down to three!
3. Kanye West feat. Chris Martin – Homecoming (Last Week #7)
It is a “homecoming” of sorts for Kanye as he makes it back to the Top 3 for the second straight time of 2008! The owner of the album of 2008 looks to continue his dominance with another number one and put his name in the hat for Artist of the Year. Can he get his third number one video of the last 12 months? We’ll see!
2. L`Arc~en~Ciel – DRINK IT DOWN (Last Week #3)
The Arc is at it again! In 2007, Hyde and Company pulled off the upset of the year by knocking off the video of the year in UGK & Outkast’s “International Players Anthem” and taking the crown. Albeit it was only for one week, they still beat the champ. Now they are back at number two and looking to knock off the champ! Can they do it? Not this week…
1. Usher feat. Young Jeezy – Love In This Club (Last Week #1, Two Weeks at #1)
….as Usher tops the Countdown for a second week in a row! To make things even more awesome, he has a NEW VIDEO coming out in the next three weeks! HELLS YEAH! Don’t get too happy because BI IS BACK IN OCTOBER! IT IS SO ON! Until then, Usher is the King of the Countdown!
That is all for this week! Tune in next Friday to see if Usher and Jeezy can make it three weeks in a row? Or will L’Arc~en~Ciel once again score the upset and take the number one spot? Or can Kanye West continue his run of dominance over the Countdown and take the throne yet again? For The first time in a year it is a man's world on the Top Three of the Countdown! Tune in next week to find out who comes out the champ!
Well I am out. I just got my Zune (W00T MOTHERFUCKER! LICK MY ASS APPLE!) so I need to set that up and then it is off to see….Speed Racer. Something tells me I may hate myself after that. I will be back with a review of Speed Racer on Sunday. Saturday I am debating between a rave and going to downtown Denver. It’s a toss up. Until next time, stay up, peeps.
Chachi Out.
