It is FRIDAY PEOPLE! You know what that means: summer blockbusters and…
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
Let’s get this party started shall we?
20. The Roots feat Dice Raw & Peedi Crack – Get Busy (Last Week #17)
It looks like The Roots dual run will be down to one soon. I wonder if they are going to do a show in Denver this summer. They usually do but I always miss it.
19. Game feat Keisha Cole – Pain (New Entry)
The Game is back! You know, I am going to be honest here: I have always been a fan of Game. Little known fact is the guy has THREE Top Three videos which is hard to get to get on here seeing as how I don’t like hip hop. Then again….Young Jeezy has three Top Three videos and two number ones but….that’s different.
18. Erykah Badu - Honey (Last Week #16)
Miss Badu falls another two spots and looks to be on her way off the Countdown this week as well. It has been a good run for her and here is hoping that she comes out to Denver along with The Roots. Now THAT’S big pimpin.
17. Chris Brown - Forever (Last Week #20)
Chris Breezy moves up a huge three spots this week as he tries to do something that very few male R&B artists do: make it to the top. Aside from John Legend and Usher, no male R&B singer has made it to number one. Can Young Chris break that streak?
16. Yui – Namidairo (Last Week #13)
Yui falls another three spots this week and this is one person that I really want to see live. I am kind of surprised she hasn’t done at least one larger anime convention. Give me that, Yui! Just once!
15. Aqua Timez - Niji (Last Week #18)
Aqua Timez moves up three spots as they look to duplicate the success of “ALONES” in late 2007. You know, this is one group that all their songs don’t sound rehashed but they sound the same. Not in a bad way, but in a signature sound without sounding manufactured way.
14. The Roots feat. Chrisette Michelle & Wale – Rising Up (Last Week #14)
The Roots stand pat this week as we move along. After not being able to SEE this video for the last three weeks, I am getting kind of bummed. I watch MTV Jams for about seven minutes a day and this video is never on. Bastards.
13. Bennie K – Monochrome (Last Week #11, Seven Weeks at #1)
Yuki and Cico, I am going to miss you! I needs me some new Bennie K right now! After seven weeks on top the least they could do is give me a free hat. Or another video with my baby boos.
12. Paramore – That’s What You Get (Last Week #15)
As we move closer to the Top Ten, we see a familiar face. Paramore looks to make it three for three in the Top Ten with their latest video. Listen to the words….heartbreak sucks ass.
11. Yui – Laugh Away (Last Week #9)
We are one step away from the upper half and on the outside looking in is Miss Yui! It has been a good first half of the year for Yui with a great new album and two big videos. And yet, she hasn’t captured that third number one video. Maybe next time? Until then, we are into the Top Ten!
10. Colbie Caillat – Realize (Last Week #10)
Colbie stand pat at number ten for the second week in a row. This video is still a good watch but the song is a better listen…when you are feeling all stalker-ish…which I am. ALL THE TIME.
9. Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F. (Last Week #6, One Week at #1)
Mmm…Foxxi MisQ. Sounds like a sexy, sexy drink. Even still, my ladies fall three spots this week as I patiently wait for a new video from them. Le sigh….
8. Lupe Fiasco feat Nikki Jean – Hip Hop Saved My Life (Last Week #5)
In a shocker, after cracking the Top Five for the second time in 2008 Lupe Fiasco falls three big spots this week. Reports are of a new video and maybe….just maybe….a video for the CRS remix of “Everybody Nose.” DARE I DREAM?
7. Alicia Keys – Teenage Love Affair (Last Week #8)
The fine, fine, SEXY FINE Alicia Keys moves up a solitary spot this week. So um…she is so damn fine in this video that I have nothing. Is there anything finer than a sexy lady in a video?
6. YA-KYIM – Super Looper (Last Week #12, Biggest Mover)
THREE SEXY LADIES IN A VIDEO! YA-KYIM rockets up a big six spots this week and land right outside of the Top Five! I just have to say that this damn song is catchy and this video is well….hot. Very hot. I think I may be in love.
5. Kelun – SIXTEEN GIRL (Last Week #7)
Kelun moves into the Top Five this week as we move on up. Kelun has NOT given a date for a new album OR a video for “CHU-BURA” which means I am going to have to hold another puppy for ransom until my demands are met. I don’t WANT to, but I will do it.
4. L`Arc~en~Ciel – DRINK IT DOWN (Last Week #3)
The Arc falls another spot this week from the Top Three as they fail to take the top spot. Great run and a great start to what should be a kickass album, too. We are down to three!
3. Usher feat. Young Jeezy – Love In This Club (Last Week #1, Three Weeks at #1)
And we have our first shocker of the week! After three weeks holding the crown, the Prince of R&B is knocked off his throne! It was a great stretch for Usher but it seems that with a new album next week and a new video it may be time for a change. We have a new number one….but WHO?!
2. Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy (Last Week #4)
The legend is one step away! Toshinobu Kobuta and Misia have come one step away from greatness. Also, this is the highest an Asian male artist has been since Bi with “I’m Coming” in 2006! After coming this far there is only one more place to go. But to do so, he will have to take down someone who is….coming home.
1. Kanye West feat. Chris Martin – Homecoming (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)
Kanye West has his THIRD number one video ever and his second of 2008! After a rather long journey, Kanye has finally come home to the top of the Countdown along with Chris Martin from Coldplay. You will NEVER see that again, btw. Either way, kanye rules the Countdown once again! Congratulations!
Well, that is all for this week! Tune in next Friday to see if Kanye can hold on for two weeks in a row! Or will Toshinobu Kobuta and Misia make history as the first solo male Asian artist at number one? Or can Usher rebound to take back his crown? Tune in next week to find out!
It’s off to see Indiana Jones tomorrow night! Or maybe Saturday, I’m not sure yet. Either way, it is party time! May go to Denver, too. Until I see you again, peace out.
Chachi Out.
