It is Friday which means two things. It is PARTY TIME for one and it is time for the Friday staple for two!
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
We get started with a premier from Mexico’s hottest export ever!
20. RBD - Empezar Desde Cero (New Entry)
RBD is back! This video is about a month and a half old but I really don’t care. It is poppy goodness and Anahi is looking GOOD in this bad boy! It is nice to hear songs that aren’t all ballady because I am not a fan of those recently. It’s summertime, baby! Welcome back!
19. UVERworld – Just Break The Limit! (Last Week #16)
It has been a tough stretch since “Zero No Kotae” failed to take the top spot in early 2007. They haven’t made it past number three and this marks their second straight video to not make the Top Five. Could the honeymoon with The World be over?
18. Kelun – CHU-BURA (New Entry)
YES! IT IS ABOUT DAMN TIME! Kelun has FINALLY released a video for “CHU-BURA” and it is totally worth the wait! Much like Aqua Timez “Alones” it is a simple video which brings out the song. We could have our first Naruto vs. Bleach battle as both have an opening theme on the Countdown for the first time I believe ever. Let the fight begin!
17. T.I. – No Matter What (Last Week #17)
The King of the South moves up three spots this week as he makes his triumphant return to the Countdown. He has been in an UVERworld-like slump, going 0-for-2 with his last videos after having his first three hit the number one spot. Can he take his crown back from John Legend?
16. Usher feat. Young Jeezy – Love In This Club (Last Week #14, Three Weeks at #1)
Usher falls another two spots this week as the Year of Usher continues. I wonder where the new Jeezy.Kanye video is at? I am really waiting for that video…for some reason.
15. Yui – Summer Song (Last Week #18)
Speaking of slumps, ever since spring of 2007 Yui has been blocked from the top spot as well. She has had FOUR videos at the runner-up spot but she hopes to break that streak with this video. I am really liking the acoustic version of “Laugh Away.” Check it out!
14. Aqua Timez - Niji (Last Week #12)
Aqua Timez falls two more spots this week and with nothing new in sight it looks like their run is over.
13. Seamo feat Ayuse Kozue - Honey (Last Week #15)
Seamo and Ayuse slowly make their way up the Countdown as they inch up to number thirteen. After nearly being barred, Seamo is doing a good job of making moves. Slowly but surely, he may have a hit on his hands.
12. Kelun – SIXTEEN GIRL (Last Week #10)
SEE NUMBER 18! CHU-MOTHERFUCKING-BURA!
11. Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy (Last Week #8, Two Weeks at #1)
For the first time since the spring. TK and Misia are outside of the Top 10. It has been an awesome run and they are almost at the longest running video on the Countdown this year mark. Pretty good work.
10. Ikimono-Gakari - Bluebird (Last Week #13)
HELLS YES! The opening theme for Naruto has cracked the Top 10! Can Ikimono-Gakari continue the success that Nobodyknows+ started last year and go all the way to the top? Also, I am really looking forward to an acoustic version of this song.
9. Alicia Keys – Teenage Love Affair (Last Week #5)
Did you see Alicia in a fight for survival against those jeans at the BET Music Awards last month? MY GOD that was hawt! Man, that is one sexy woman right there.
8. Wonder Girls – So Hot (Last Week #11)
Speaking of sexy women…the Wonder Girls aren’t women. They are young ladies and I feel so damn wrong having them on here. Dammit, that song is catchy as hell! I know about 40% of the words which means I am listening WAY TOO MUCH.
7. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Hot Limit (Last Week #9)
Speaking of listening to something way too much, HAMC moves up another two spots this week! Can I just say that more TM Revolution songs need to be redone? Seriously, the man should be like James Brown with that shit.
6. BACK-ON – Sands of Time (Last Week #7)
BACK-ON’s momentum seems to have slowed down as they move up one spot to number six this week. They are up very high for their first time out and that is saying a lot.
5. YA-KYIM – Super Looper (Last Week #2, Three Weeks at #1)
After holding on to the top spot for almost a month, the sexy ladies of YA-KYIM fall another three spots but hold on to the Top Five. I am in need of something new from them, as they make me very happy.
4. Usher – Moving Mountains (Last Week #6)
Usher is once again in the Top Five! After the dominance of “Love In The Club” it is usually hard to follow that kind of run up (See: Namie Amuro and Maroon 5). However, this video is looking like it will break that trend. We are down to the Top Three!
3. Chris Brown - Forever (Last Week #3)
Chris Brown holds steady this week! Has his momentum stalled or is he just taking a small break? He has had several start and stop movements on the Countdown so this isn’t out of the norm, but it could be a sign….
2. Game feat Keisha Cole – Pain (Last Week #4)
The West Coast is back! Game and Keisha Cole are representing for California on the Countdown and they are posted up at the runner up spot! Now Game has been here before twice (With “One Blood” and “Let’s Ride”) but both times failed to conquer the top spot. Can he finally break his streak? To do so he will have to knock off the reigning Queen!
1. Paramore – That’s What You Get (Last Week #1, Two Weeks at #1)
Paramore spends their second week at Number One as the biggest video in the land! It took them three videos to get here and they are not going to let go that easy! I got some live performances of them and this band is quite the kickass. If they come to Colorado I am SO THERE! Congratulations, guys!
Well, that is all for this week! Tune in next Friday to see if Paramore can make it three weeks in a row! Or will Game and Keisha Cole take the top spot? Can Chris Brown finally dance his way to number one? Tune in seven days from now to find out!
Tonight is Hellboy 2 so if you are down then let me know. If not, you suck. Until Sunday, stay up peeps.
Chachi Out!
