What is up people?! It is another Friday and you know what that means. PARTY TIME! Oh, and it is also time for the Friday staple….
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
We begin with a premiere from a artist already on the Countdown!
20. Usher – Moving Mountains (New Entry)
Usher is back! Looks like it may be the year of the Ush because he is already back with a new video. Oddly enough, it works as a sequel to “Love In This Club” and I really feel this song. It’s like Burn 2008! Man, we need more Boondocks!
19. The Roots feat. Chrisette Michelle & Wale – Rising Up (Last Week #16)
Looks like The Roots are on their way off the Countdown for the second time this year. I am really pissed I missed them and Erykah Badu this week. I really was looking forward to it but thems the breaks.
18. BACK-ON – Sands of Time (Last Week #20)
BACK-ON moves up a modest two spots this week in their first foray onto the Countdown. Is there any word on when I will be blessed with a full album from these guys? “Chain” was a damn LIFETIME AGO!
17. Bennie K – Monochrome (Last Week #15, Seven Weeks at #1)
The ladies of Bennie K are STILL HOLDING ON! Yuki and Cico are able to stake claim as the Queens of the Countdown with two number ones including this one that is tied for the longest ever. If they give me something new this year it could mean an Artist of the Year Chachi!
16. UVERworld – Just Break The Limit! (Last Week #18)
UVERworld has TWO new videos out! I like this song a lot more than the other one so this one moves up this week. Could I see two UVERworld albums in one year? My god…I think I just had a baby.
15. Yui – Laugh Away (Last Week #13)
YUI HAS A NEW SINGLE!!! “Summer Song” is awesome, I mean “CHE.R.RY” awesome people! Too bad her latest falls another two spots. Shouldn’t matter, she should have a new one for her fans soon!
14. Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F. (Last Week #11, One Week at #1)
Speaking of new music….FOXXI MISQ IS BACK! They have a new single coming in July (Oddly enough, the same day as Kelun’s “CHU-BURA” in which I will have the greatest orgasm EVER) and their latest is still on! Here is hoping it is a ballad, I really like Dem’s voice. Yes, her voice!
13. Game feat Keisha Cole – Pain (Last Week #17)
You know, aside from T.I., Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco the Game may be the most successful artist on the Countdown on the hip hop side of things. Wait….Young Jeezy has been to the top twice. HOW IN THE FUCK DID HE MANAGE TO SLIP PAST ME?!
12. Lupe Fiasco feat Nikki Jean – Hip Hop Saved My Life (Last Week #9)
Looks like Lupe’s run is over as he falls out of the Top 10 this week. Reportedly he is working on a new album so this may be the last we see of him for a while. Unless he, Kanye and Pharrell get off the pot on the whole CRS thing.
11. Aqua Timez - Niji (Last Week #12)
Aqua Timez moves up a modest spot this week as the wait outside the Top 10. This will gie them two after a pretty lengthy career. We are into the top half!
10. L`Arc~en~Ciel – DRINK IT DOWN (Last Week #7)
We begin with Hyde and Company falling three big spots this week. They stay in the Top 10 and have built a very impressive streak with three straight Top 10 videos. I hope they have something new soon as this was a good return to some of their older work.
9. Colbie Caillat – Realize (Last Week #8)
Colbie falls a spot this week as it looks like she has lost her momentum. I may give a listen to her album and see if there are other songs as good as this. If not…how about she won’t be on here again?
8. Chris Brown - Forever (Last Week #14, Biggest Mover)
Chris Brown is on the move this week! He moves the most spots of any one in a long time as he jumps 6 places and lands in the Top 10. This is quite the comeback from the suckitude that was “Wall To Wall.” I was ready to ban him forever but hey…that wasn’t a pun.
7. Paramore – That’s What You Get (Last Week #10)
Paramore moves up another three spots this week as we see if they can become the new rock kings (err…queen and kings) of the Countdown! They are three for the in the Top 10 and “Misery Business” peaked at number two so they have the pedigree. Does this video have the legs?
6. Usher feat. Young Jeezy – Love In This Club (Last Week #5, Three Weeks at #1)
With another video premiring I am sure Usher doesn’t mind his latest video falling from the Top Five. Especially after holding the top spot for almost a month to boot. Could Usher have the best 2008? He will have to top the next artist…
5. Alicia Keys – Teenage Love Affair (Last Week #6)
….Who is looking for number three! Alicia Keys is looking to be the female with the most number one videos as she is currently tied at two with Yui and NaNa. Can she take the top spot yet again? She has quite the battle ahead!
4. Kanye West feat. Chris Martin – Homecoming (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)
Kanye and Chris fall two spots this week as they fall farther away from that number one spot. I do have to say something right now. I am actually kind of liking the “Viva La Vida” song of Coldplay’s. Damn it! I swore I would never do it but…man it is catchy. Anyway, we are down to three!!
3. Kelun – SIXTEEN GIRL (Last Week #4)
Kelun keeps on moving up…all the way to the Top Three! Even with the announcement of “CHU-BURA” and the video coming any day now (Hopefully) it is remarkable that this video is still making its move. What can I say; I really like this song.
2. YA-KYIM – Super Looper (Last Week #3)
The sexy ladies of YA-KYIM move up a spot this week to the runner up position! I just got this single all I have to say is I am feeling their remake of Trey Songz “I Can’t Help But Wait”. Totally awesome work. But with these ladies at number two, it means we have a reigning champ at number one!
1. Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy (Last Week #1, Two Weeks at #1)
Kobuta and Misia hold it down yet again! The J-R&B king and queen hold it down for yet another week! Misia’s new video is okay but I am REALLY looking forward to a new album from Toshinobu Kobuta. Hopefully it will have “MAGIC” on it. Until that day, he holds the top spot
That is all for this week! Tune in next Friday to see if Kobuta and Misia can make it three weeks on top! Or will YA-KYIM take their place on a sexily crowded throne? Or will Kelun continue his upward move and take the crown on their first time out? Tune in seven days from now to find out!
So I am going to see “Kung Fu Panda” tonight (Probably) and MAY go to Denver on Saturday again just because I need to get out after a week of work. WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND! Until next time, stay up peeps.
Chachi Out.
