America: No One Rawks HARDER! Take That, Norway!

Happy Birthday America! It is the 4th of July and it is Friday which means it is time for the first ever Independence Day edition of…

Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!

We begin with the King of the South….and the King of the Countdown!

20. T.I. – No Matter What (New Entry)

T.I. is back! It has been a long while since we have seen the King of the South on the Countdown but he has made a triumphant return! The song is retrospective seeing as how he did the ultimate in douchery and had enough guns to take down Beirut. However, the video is simple and fits the song perfectly. What can I say, I fucks with T.I.
19. Colbie Caillat – Realize (Last Week #16)
I also used to fucks with Colbie but it looks like that is about to end as she falls to number nineteen this week. Nothing new from her in a while and that is a shame. She was beginning to grow on me.
18. Yui – Summer Song (New Entry)

It is officially the summer of Yui! This is her third video of the year and with arguably the biggest album of 2008 (Not by Lil’ Wayne, of course) this may just be the Year of Yui! I am all about this song and video right now and it is about to show!
17. Kanye West feat. Chris Martin – Homecoming (Last Week #14, One Week at #1)
So Coldplay is topping the charts and Amy Winehouse is calling Kanye a cunt. I won’t tell them about their video being on the verge of falling of the Countdown.
16. UVERworld – Just Break The Limit! (Last Week #13)
After peaking at number thirteen for the last two weeks, Takuya and the boys fall three big spots this week. I can’t believe they are already on the verge of releasing a new album. None of this three to four years bullshit like American artists.
15. Seamo feat Ayuse Kozue - Honey (Last Week #17)
Yes, Seamo is STILL making moves upward on the Countdown, jumping up two spots this week. Also picked up his album and I must say….it is not bad. That’ll do, Seamo. That’ll do.
14. Usher feat. Young Jeezy – Love In This Club (Last Week #11, Three Weeks at #1)
New Jeezy video coming soon! Until then, this video falls three big spots this week.
13. Ikimono-Gakari - Bluebird (Last Week #19, Biggest Mover)
So I officially love this song and video. I would put it as the ringtone but no one would get it except for anime fans (Same as usual) but….”Carameldansen” can’t go just yet.
12. Aqua Timez - Niji (Last Week #10)

Okay, it is about time for some new face rocking Aqua Timez. After “Alones” I am expecting to have my face violated with rock and it is not happening. DO IT NOW!
11. Wonder Girls – So Hot (Last Week #15)
Speaking of violation….I am so going to jail. It’s like Hinoi Team all over again. Either way, The Wonder Girls are one spot short of the Top 10. Que the feds.
10. Kelun – SIXTEEN GIRL (Last Week #8)
WHERE IN THE FUCK IS CHU-BURA?! QUIT FUCKING WITH ME! YOU WILL BE PUNISHED!
9. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Hot Limit (Last Week #12)

W00T! High and Mighty Color are back in the Top 10! I just cant believe that TM is in the damn video for this! That is so tits! This song has always been bad ass and what is weirder is Hiroko sounds more manly than TM. I’m just saying.
8. Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy (Last Week #6, Two Weeks at #1)
It has been a slow drop just like it was a slow rise but Kobuta amd Misia contine to fall this week. Anyone know when TK’s new album is coming? I am all about that shit.
7. BACK-ON – Sands of Time (Last Week #9)

BACK-ON is slowly but surely moving upward this week. I cannot not find NARY A ONE of their mini-albums. I have their singles (Which rule) but they have I think two or three mini albums that I cannot find. Little help here?
6. Usher – Moving Mountains (Last Week #7)
Usher moves up the mountain yet again this week as we move along. Not going to lie to you, I really am feeling this song right now. Kind of the story of my life as of right now. But thems the breaks.
5. Alicia Keys – Teenage Love Affair (Last Week #3)
Alicia Keys falls two spots this week but holds on to the Top Five. I would figure that she would dominate the summer with those hips of hers (GAWD DAMN I LOVE YOU!) but here we are. I am “Muy Trieste.”
4. Game feat Keisha Cole – Pain (Last Week #5)
Game is back with a new video! Supposedly there is a video filmed for “Dope Boys” with Travis Barker from Blink 182 on drums. Interesting combo, but that song is BANGIN! Until then his latest moves up a spot this week as Game attempts to get is ever elusive number one video. We are down to three!
3. Chris Brown - Forever (Last Week #4)

The song has been out for what seems like forever but it finally makes the Top Three! Can Chris Brown be the next Usher and rule the summer? We will have to see because he is off to a great start so far! I can’t believe he was almost banned from here.
2. YA-KYIM – Super Looper (Last Week #1, Three Weeks at #1)

The reign for YA-KYIM is officially over! NOOOOOOOO! After three weeks on top and beginning the summer on a sexy note they fall a spot to number two. It was a great run but een Bennie K and UGK had to fall from the top. Well if they are at number two….who is at number one on this Independence Day?
1. Paramore – That’s What You Get (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)

FINALLY!! After two videos and over a year of working at it Paramore has taken the top spot! It has been a long two month trek but they can finally take the throne for female led rock that HAMC and Evanescence could not! This song really captures me right now….how sad. Either way, it is bad ass. Congrats to Hayley and the band for taking the crown!

That is all for this week! Tune in next week to see if Paramore can continue to ride high for a second straight week? Or will YA-KYIM take back what they feel belongs to them? Or will Chris Brown stun everyone and continue the Year of R&B? Come back in 7 days and find out!

Well, I am going to see Hancock tonight so anyone that is down let me know. Until next time, HAPPY 4th OF JULY!

Chachi Out.
