It Is Crowded At The Top...

What is up people?! IT IS OFFICIALLY FALL! Get out your bomber jackets and lets talk a walk! Before that, let’s check out the Friday staple….

Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!

Let’s get this party started!

20. YA-KYIM – Super Looper (Last Week #17, Three Weeks at #1)
It looks like YA-KYIM is having their death knell. After over FOUR MONTHS on the Countdown this trio looks to finally fall off the chart. Very good year and looking for something new for them.
19. CHEMISTRY – Life Goes On (New Entry)

IT IS ABOUT DAMN TIME! CHEMISTRY has their first ever video on the Countdown after like…a millennia of kick ass music! Listen to some Gundam endings and you will recognize their greatness. This video just exudes the awesomeness of the 80’s and all I have to say is hells yeah!
18. Chris Brown - Forever (Last Week #15)
On the flipside, Chris Brown looks to be spending his final days on the Countdown as well. It was a pretty good summer for him but with fall around the corner it looks like his dominance has come to an end. Also….DOUBLEMINT GUM COMMERCIAL?! FUCK THAT!
17. FLOW – WORLD END (Last Week #20)
Just got the single a few seconds ago and all I have to say is that there is a reason these guys RAWK YOUR FACE. Love this video, and got the karaoke of it too so I am learning them words!
16. Seamo feat Ayuse Kozue - Honey (Last Week #14)
Looks like Seamo’s upward mobility has stalled as he falls back two spots this week. Pretty good year and a great turnaround from my distain of him previously.
15. New Kids On The Block - Summertime (Last Week #16)

Totally going to their concert in November. Anyone else down?
14. Usher – Moving Mountains (Last Week #12)
Looks like the Summer of Usher is officially over. Gotta admit, you loved “Love In This Club” as much as everyone else. You know you did.
13. NERD feat Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pusha-T – Everybody Nose (Remix) (Last Week #18, Biggest Mover)
So is CRS the group of the year? Together they have dominated and individually they have owned and this video is no different. Although I have been rocking this for about two months, it still never gets old.
12. Paramore – That’s What You Get (Last Week #10, Two Weeks at #1)
For the first time since May, Paramore is not in the Top 10! Been a big year for them and even though I missed them when they were up in Denver I am not upset. A little sad, but not upset.
11. Fonzworth Bentley feat. Andre 3000 – Everybody [Don’t Stop] (Last Week #13)

Yeah, I am just as shocked as you are. But look here as Fonzworth Bentley is one step away from the Top 10. Who fricking knew? Still upset I rarely see this video on TV though because it is one of the few that doesn’t piss me off.
10. Game feat Keisha Cole – Pain (Last Week #8, One Week at #1)
We begin the upper half with the first number one video for Game. “My Life” with Lil’ Wayne should be out any minute now because….they have a behind the scenes video out. THE BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO IS LONGER THAN THE SONG?! God….no sense whatsoever.
9. Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On (Last Week #11)
Jeezy moves into the Top 10 for the second time in 2008! Kanya tags along on what may be the biggest hip hop track of the year so far. Yes….Jezzy has the hottest song of the year so far. I think my brain just collapsed on itself.
8. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Hot Limit (Last Week #4, Two Weeks at #1)
After finally taking the top spot, HAMC fall four big spots this week. Can they follow up the success of this video in the fall? We will have to see, because this was awesome.
7. RBD - Empezar Desde Cero (Last Week #9)

Say hello to my new ringback tone! Yes, my ringback is in Spanish, my ringtone is in Swedish (Or some Nordic country) and my favorite song is in Korean. Yeah, I’m a pretty fucked up cat.
6. Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl (Last Week #7)
Miss Hyori is moving on up! Can I just say that she REALLY needs to eat something? Now it is getting hella scary as my baby boo is unhealthily skinny. And I don’t believe in that. Also, that dance segment in the middle isn’t as annoying as it used to be. And it was ANNOYING.
5. Yui – Summer Song (Last Week #6)

Well another day, another Yui video in the Top Five. Can this video finally break the streak of no number one videos? It has been over a year, Yui! Make it happen!
4. Ikimono-Gakari - Bluebird (Last Week #2)
After almost beating out Wonder Girls for number one last week, Ikimono-Gakari falls two spots this week! It was a hell of a run this time out but in the end, Naruto couldn’t top Bleach once again. Life imitates art. We are down to three!
3. Kelun – CHU-BURA (Last Week #5)

We begin with familiar territory for Kelun as they get their send Top Three video of 2008! With the Bleach factor (Three number one videos) working for them, Kelun is pressing hard for the number one video. Speaking of number one, who is number one? Well…we have…

A TIE

1.Wonder Girls – So Hot (Last Week #1, Two Weeks at #1) & T.I. – No Matter What (Last Week #3, One Week at #1)


For the second time ever and the first time in just under a year and a half, we have a tie for the number one spot! First it was Daughtry’s “It’s Not Over” and John Legend’s “P.D.A. (We Just Don’t Care)” tying for number one. This time, it is the reigning champs Wonder Girls spending their second week at number one and T.I. reclaiming his throne as the King of the Countdown! It gives T.I. his first number one in over almost two years and his third overall while Wonder Girls continues their dominance. It was a weird week and this just tops it all off. Congrats to both T.I. and the Wonder Girls!

That is all for this week! Tune in next week to see if we will have a SINGULAR number one video! Will T.I. continue his regien? Or will the Wonder Girls make it a third week on top? Or can Kelun trump both of them and bring back the “Bleach Bump?” Tune in seven days from now to see!

Well, I am out of this piece. Until next time, stay up.
