Well, I am back and the Countdown WILL NOT BE LATE! Nothing can stop the 20 biggest videos in the GALAXY! Get ready for the…
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
Let’s get this thing started!
20. Bennie K – Monochrome (Last Week #17, Seven Weeks at #1)
After arguably the most dominant Countdown run ever by any artist, Bennie K falls three spots this week. That is huge because it looks like this run has come to an end. Seven weeks at number one is a record that has only been achieved once and it was not consecutive. To hold this down for almost two months is awesome. Congrats, ladies.
19. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Hot Limit (New Entry)
Hells yes! HAMC is back as they attempt to take a classic TM Revolution song to the top! It has been a while since “Amazing” blazed up the Countdown and it is good to see them back. Can they recapture the magic?
18. Yui – Laugh Away (Last Week #15)
NEW YUI!!! SUMMER SONG IS AWESOME!
17. Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F. (Last Week #14, One Week at #1)
Foxxi MisQ is back! And it is a ballad! Can life GET any better? Damn, Dem is looking hella good to me right now. I may just be in love…
16. Usher – Moving Mountains (Last Week #20)
Usher moves up yet again this week as R&B may have returned. I actually like his album, albeit not more than I liked “Confessions” but still. They all can’t be Burn. LET IT BURN! CAR!
15. BACK-ON – Sands of Time (Last Week #18)
BACK-ON is making their way up this week as they hop up three big spots. Anyone know what this is from? Is it just a single or is it an opening/closing theme for a show? A little heads up would be great.
14. Lupe Fiasco feat Nikki Jean – Hip Hop Saved My Life (Last Week #12)
Lupe falls two spots this week as I anxiously wait for a new single. WILL YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO FOR THE “EVERYBODY NOSE” REMIX?! COME ON, DAMMIT!
13. UVERworld – Just Break The Limit! (Last Week #16)
The World is back with two videos out for my listening pleasure. This one moves up another three spots this week as it looks like they are looking for Countdown supremacy with their SEVENTH TOP TEN VIDEO! Yeah, they own it.
12. L`Arc~en~Ciel – DRINK IT DOWN (Last Week #10)
The Arc falls out of the Top Ten! I need to start playing Devil May Cry 4 again. It has been a while since I played and I am due for some demon slaying.
11. Colbie Caillat – Realize (Last Week #9)
Colbie looks to be on her way down this week as she falls from the Top 10. She may be able to bounce back but I haven’t heard much from her since this video so…we’ll see.
10. Game feat Keisha Cole – Pain (Last Week #13)
We are into the Top 10 and we once again have a familiar face! The Game gets his fourth Top 10 video and places his name in the ring for the biggest hip hop act to grace the Countdown. Can he FINALLY make it to number one? He now holds the record for most Top 10’s with no number one now that Foxxi MisQ got the monkey of their back.
9. Aqua Timez - Niji (Last Week #11)
Aqua Timez is back! After a kickass album last year and one of the biggest videos of the year with “ALONES” they started off 2008 slow but have bounced back with a big one with “Niji!” Can they go two for two? We will have to see!
8. Usher feat. Young Jeezy – Love In This Club (Last Week #6, Three Weeks at #1)
Usher is STILL hanging on to the Top 10 even with his latest video still climbing the chart. Been a big year for Mr. Raymond and it looks to get bigger with a really good album and ready made singles. It’s the year of the Ush!
7. Chris Brown - Forever (Last Week #8)
Just above Usher we have his heir apparent! Chris Brown pops up one spot this week as he attempts to keep the Summer of R&B going to the top! I am considering picking up the special edition of this album for this song. CONSIDERING IT.
6. Kanye West feat. Chris Martin – Homecoming (Last Week #4, One Week at #1)
Kanye and Chris fall two more spots this week and out of the top five that means that there will be no hip hop among the five biggest videos of the week! Who is left?
5. Paramore – That’s What You Get (Last Week #7)
Paramore jumps up two spots into the Top Five to make it this high for the second time! I am all over this song because….that IS what you get when you let your heart win. What it is exactly is up to debate but it’s what you get.
4. Alicia Keys – Teenage Love Affair (Last Week #5)
Alicia Keys moves up one spot this week just outside of the Top Three. She has had a huge last six months, arguably the best of someone not named NaNa…who has been AWOL for the last few months. However, Alicia is taking names as she keeps on moving up. We are down to three!
3. Kelun – SIXTEEN GIRL (Last Week #3)
Kelun stands pat at number three this week as we all patiently await the video for “CHU-BURA.” All I have to say is MAKE IT HAPPEN, CAP’N! I NEEDS ME SOME CHU-BURA! So it is the same two videos at the top…but who game out with the belt?
2. Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy (Last Week #1, Two Weeks at #1)
Kobuta has been usurped! After two weeks at the top, Kobuta and Misia fall to the runner up spot. Not to fret, a new video is out! Really weird black-face going on but I can get past that because the song kicks ass. So with these two as bridesmaids….we have a new champ!
1. YA-KYIM – Super Looper (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)
The sexy ladies of YA-KYIM take over the top spot! It has been quite a year for J-R&B as Bennie K, Foxxi MisQ, NaNa and Toshinobu Kobuta have captured the top spot in 2008! YA-KYIM has turned years of work into the pinnacle of awesomeness. The number one video is finally theirs! Congratulations!
Sorry so late, but it is still out on a Friday! Tonight it is Incredible Hulk time! I will try to be up Saturday for a bit and then give a complete rundown of the week on Sunday including why my ankle HURTS LIKE FUCKING HELL. God damn sidewalk. Until then, stay up peeps.
Chachi Out.
