Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!!
We begin this week with a debut from one of the biggest artists of 2008!
20. Game feat. Lil Wayne – My Life (New Entry)
We start off with arguably the second most hyped video of 2008 (Behind Miley Cyrus’s (7 Things” and Lil’ Wayne’s “Lollipop”) and I have to admit….it was worth the wait. Arguably 2008’s biggest star guests with Game in the Pac-like video for a really good song. Although there is too much red for my taste (Are you two TRYING to get killed?! Niggas is dumb!) it is good to see something non-shitty in hip hop.
19. Seamo feat Ayuse Kozue - Honey (Last Week #16)
Looks like Seamo’s fantastic voyage is coming to an end as he falls three spots this week. He has one of the longest running videos on the Countdown but he never got any higher than number 13. Pretty good staying power.
18. CHEMISTRY – Life Goes On (Last Week #19)
CHEMISTRY moves up a spot this week on their first time out. You know, I really get pissed when record labels bitch about having their artists videos on YouTube. Seriously, do you hate the fans that fucking much? Pricks.
17. Usher – Moving Mountains (Last Week #14)
Looks like Usher is moving down as well as he falls down the mountain this week. Nothing new and I was really expecting more after having to wait 10 millenia since the awesomeness that was “Yeah!”
16. Bennie K feat SOFFet – Music Traveler (New Entry)
BENNIE K - Music Traveler with SOFFet
Uploaded by once_again
Bennie K is back! After dominating the spring with “Monochrome” which stayed at number one for a mindboggling seven weeks, the sexy ladies are FINALLY returning to the Countdown! Much like “Joy Trip” this song experiments highly with country and folk to which I say quite alright. They bring along SOFFet for the ride who I really dug in that Mihimaru GT video.
15. New Kids On The Block - Summertime (Last Week #15)
NKOTB STALLS?! Is it time to panic? Nah, not yet but summertime is over so it may be time for another “Step By Step,” I’m just saying.
14. Paramore – That’s What You Get (Last Week #12, Two Weeks at #1)
Paramore on the VMA’s?! With T.I.?! Well, not at the same time but still. I guess I officially have a reason to watch MTV that doesn’t involve breakdancing. Damn it, the boycott was going so well.
13. FLOW – WORLD END (Last Week #17, Biggest Mover)
FLOW is officially back! They are the biggest mover this week as they hope to renew the success they had TWO YEARS AGO with “Re:Member” when it hit number one. Damn, that was a fucking long time ago.
12. Game feat Keisha Cole – Pain (Last Week #10, One Week at #1)
So the Game falls out of the Top 10 this week but with a new video debuting it looks like he is trying to get in the argument for Chachi for Artist of the Year. With Yui and Kanye pretty much locking that down he may need another strong run for consideration.
11. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Hot Limit (Last Week #8, Two Weeks at #1)
So….is there ever going to be a new opening theme for Soul Eater? I mean seriously the endings have been awesome and I love TM Revolution but it is about that time for something new.
10. NERD feat Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pusha-T – Everybody Nose (Remix) (Last Week #13)
Well look at this! CRS is back in the Top 10! After dominating before Bennie k made their triumphant return CRS was on the low with each artist returning on their own but they are back and looking to go two for two! Also, this is Week Kanye because….well you will see.
9. RBD - Empezar Desde Cero (Last Week #7)
RBD looks to once again fall short of the top spot as their latest falls two spots. I am in need of a new album and the La Familia DVD. There, you know what to get me for my birthday next month. MAKE IT HAPPEN, BITCHES!
8. Fonzworth Bentley feat. Andre 3000 & Kanye West – Everybody [Don’t Stop] (Last Week #11)
From Diddy’s manservant to a Top 10 video? Pretty good year for The Fonz! He brings along Andre 3000 and Kanye (Who kicks a pretty good hook) for the ride as the resurgence of hip hop continues in 2008! Love the dance sequences, btw.
7. Ikimono-Gakari - Bluebird (Last Week #4)
After coming so close, Ikimono-Gakari falls two more spots and out of the Top 5 this week. So….I REALLY WANT TO SEE THE NEW NARUTO MOVIE! I mean REALLY want to see that shit. I don’t know why but I am all about this show now.
6. Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On (Last Week #9)
Aaaaand once again it is Kanye. Young Jeezy moves up three big spots and lands right outside the Top Five this week with his latest. Can I just say that this is literally the illest hip-hop song of 2008? I know it sounds weird but….DAMN THIS TRACK IS COLD BLOODED!
5. Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl (Last Week #6)
The Princess is moving up! Hyori Lee has her first Top Five video and she is looking for more! With the history of the sexy ladies on the top (NaNa, Alicia Keys, Yui, Namie Amuro) can Hyori put her name up there? If this video has anything to do with it….yes.
4. Wonder Girls – So Hot (Last Week #1, Two Weeks at #1)
After tying with T.I. last week and two weeks on top, the Wonder Girls fall four big spots to number four! Well….they got here and now it is time to finish the job. We need a new video, ladies! We are down to three!
3. T.I. – No Matter What (Last Week #1, One Week at #1)
After only a week on top, the King has fallen! T.I. has a new video out (Which has grown on me. Odds are you will see it on here soon. REAL SOON) but it was kind of a shame this didn’t have a longer run. Even still, I am waithing for “Paper Trail” because it sounds a lot better so far than his last one.
2. Yui – Summer Song (Last Week #5)
Yui is making YET ANOTHER BID to end her streak! It has been over a year and five videos since she topped the chart last and she looks to be able to take back what is hers! I am all about this song and seeing as how it is the end of summer I still refuse to let it go. Can she end the streak? She will have to wait if she wants to because with T.I. and the Wonder Girls both falling from the top we have a new number one video!
1. Kelun – CHU-BURA (Last Week #3, One Week at #1)
YOU KNOW IT! From its debut eight weeks ago to right now, Kelun was priming itself for the number one spot. Taking full advantage of the Bleach Bump, Kelun takes the number one spot from the King and Queens! After the success of “SIXTEEN GIRL” it was going to take a lot to overtake that but Kelun has done it big time. Congrats guys, you have the biggest video in the land!
That is all for this week! Tune in next Friday to see if Kelun can make it two weeks in a row! Or will Yui finally end the year long drought of taking the number one spot? Or can T.I. or the Wonder Girls return to the number one spot? Tune in next week to find out!
Well, I am out for now. Hamlet 2 this afternoon! Until this weekend, stay up peeps.
Chachi Out.
