Well, it is Friday so you know what time it is! Bring it on!
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown
We begin this week with a debut from a Countdown mainstay over the last 12 months!
20. Hearts Grow – Sora (New Entry)
We begin with a new video from Hearts Grow! The group that has been trying to avoid giving me an album since the dawn of time is back with a new video! It’s the opening from the “Birdy DECODE” anime which makes no sense but this song is awesome. Personally, its my favorite song from them. GIVE ME A DAMN ALBUM!
19. Game feat Keisha Cole – Pain (Last Week #16, One Week at #1)
Man, after releasing an album last week the Game continues to hold on to the Countdown for another week. He didn’t do Lil Wayne numbers but he pulled in a respectable amount of units. Not that it matters to me, but good job.
18. Hyori Lee – Hey Mr. Big! (New Entry)
Well, well, well! Miss Hye-Yo-Ri is back with another video! I will admit that this wasn’t one of my favorite songs on her album but she saved it with a video that looks like Hyori and the Technicolor Hottie-Coat. Just made that up.
17. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Hot Limit (Last Week #14, Two Weeks at #1)
HAMC has been hanging on for over three and a half months but they fall three big spots this week. Also, right in the nick of time they have a new video out! Can you say timing? I know I can!
16. Maroon 5 – Goodnight, Goodnight (Last Week #20)
So Maroon 5 moves up four big spots this week with their latest video. It has been a hella long time since they have been on the Countdown and they are totally making the most of it. This song makes me a little bit sad….
15. RBD - Empezar Desde Cero (Last Week #12)
RBD HAS BROKEN UP! WHY GOD WHY?!
14. UVERworld – Koishikute (Last Week #19, Biggest Mover)
The World is officially back! With their first ballad in over TWO YEARS they are moving up fast this week, moving up five huge spots this week. Can they break their own drought of not having a number one with this video? We will have to see!
13. Ikimono-Gakari - Bluebird (Last Week #10)
After coming so close to taking the top spot, Ikimono-Gakari falls three spots and out of the Top 10 this week. Can I say that the Naruto: Shippuuden movie looks AWESOME. Someone tell me I am right….please?
12. John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light (Last Week #15)
John Legend is back, dammit! He moves up a modest three spots this week but John usually does take his time on the Countdown. He looks to have the green light to the Top 10, though! Can I also say that Andre 3000 has two of the best verses of the year right now….once again? The man needs an album NOW.
11. Wonder Girls – So Hot (Last Week #7, Two Weeks at #1)
The Wonder Girls wonderful summer looks to be over! They fall four big spots out of the Top 10 as we move on. They have a new video but I am kind of not a fan of it yet. It may grow on me, I don’t know.
10. Game feat. Lil Wayne – My Life (Last Week #13)
The Game is back in the Top Ten! In a shocker, despite his huge year, Lil’ Wayne graces the Countdown for the first time ever. I am not really a Lil’ Wayne stan but I will admit that sometimes he lays it down. This song is carried by Game, though.
9. Bennie K feat SOFFet – Music Traveler (Last Week #11)
Bennie K is back in the Top 10! You know, for a group that puts out videos so sporadically they usually dominate when they do. The test of a true champion.
8. T.I. – No Matter What (Last Week #5, One Week at #1)
T.I. falls three spots this week as I anxiously await the release of Paper Trail in September. On another note, my birthday in 12 days motherfucker! Shawty want gifts!
7. FLOW – WORLD END (Last Week #9)
FLOW is officially back! They move up two spots this week as they look to take their first number one video in over two years. You see, rock isn’t dead at all!
6. Kelun – CHU-BURA (Last Week #3, One Week at #1)
Kelun has fallen from the Top Three this week as we close in on the Top Five. Nothing new from them yet but they have an impressive enough body of work to lay claim to the Rock Artist of the Year Chachi Award. Tune in, the nominees will be up soon!
5. NERD feat Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pusha-T – Everybody Nose (Remix) (Last Week #8)
We start the Top Five with CRS and Pusha T. After dominating all of January and February of this year they are officially back. Also, this is officially the year of Kanye West. You will see what I mean in a minute.
4. Yui – Summer Song (Last Week #2)
After two weeks as runner up, Yui falls ONCE AGAIN without getting her third number one video! It has been a great but rough year for Yui with FOUR number two videos for a combined stay of 7 weeks. Now we are down to three!
3. Fonzworth Bentley feat Andre 3000 & Kanye West – Everybody [Don’t Stop] (Last Week #6)
Wow, the world is a-changing. Fonzworth Bentley has moved up into the Top Three with help from some friends. And by some friends I mean some real star power in Kanye West (He’s back!) and Andre 3000 (He is also back!). If this video doesn’t take off nationwide it proves that none of you know good music. This song is the mad notes!
2. Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl (Last Week #4)
The princess is one step away from being the queen! Miss Hyorish herself (I really don’t like that name) moves up two big spots this week even with another video debuting! Can she be the first Korean solo artist to have a number one video? Not even RAIN has had a number one video! To do so, she will have to unseat the reigning champ…
1. Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On (Last Week #1, Two Weeks at #1)
The Snowman and Don Louis Vitton hold it down for a second week! Also, Young Jeezy’s album is in stores now! Pick it up, fools! Jeezy and Kanye officially have the hottest song of the summer if not all year and the video is something I like to call “teh awesomeness.” One of the few times rap makes you think. Congrats guys!
That is all for this week! Tune in next week to see if Young Jeezy and Kanye can put it on the Countdown for a third week in a row! Or can Hyori Lee take the top spot back for the ladies? Look out for Fonsworth Bentley, He is looking to make everybody believe that he can be number one! See you in seven!
Well, I am out. Maybe some movies and drinking later but aside from that I will see you all next time.
Chachi Out
