Well, NDK has passed and my birthday sucked but one thing that doesn’t suck is coming up right now!
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
We begin with a video on the downslide!
20. Ikimono-Gakari - Bluebird (Last Week #16)
It looks like the run is over for this group. They got a reprieve due to the awesomeness that was NDK but they still fall a big four spots this week.
19. Yuna Ito – Miss You (New Entry)
My baby boo is back! Yuna Ito makes her return to the Countdown after an over eight month absence. This song is more of a summer song but I don’t care. Yuna Ito is hot and she has my heart. Sue me.
18. Alicia Keys - Superwoman (Last Week #20)
Alicia Keys moves up two spots this week as she looks to make it four Top Three videos in the year of 2008. Yes, “No One” was on the Countdown THAT LONG. Too bad she is a damn homewrecker.
17. Wonder Girls – So Hot (Last Week #14, Two Weeks at #1)
The Wonder Girls have a new video coming soon! Man, these women are going to be the death of me yet. Until then, this video is still hanging on for its jailbait life.
16. T.I. – Whatever You Like (Last Week #18)
The King goes back to back this week. I am looking forward to “Live Your Life” because that song has really grown on me. This video has Lil’ Duvall AND chicken wings. Both are awesome.
15. T.I. – No Matter What (Last Week #11, One Week at #1)
The former number one falls this week as T.I. continues his return to the top after a rather subdued 2007. With Paper Trail coming soon (I guess, I have been kind of out of touch with music for a while) it figures to be a big 2008. Minus the whole JAIL THING. What the fuck, dude?
14. Kelun – CHU-BURA (Last Week #9, One Week at #1) [Plunge of the Week]
After a cup of tea at the Top, Kelun falls out of the Top Ten this week for the first time in two months. Can I just say that NDK was awesome? My foot still hurts (I am hoping it is just ligament damage and will heal itself) but that is just life. Totally worth it.
13. Hyori Lee – Hey Mr. Big! (Last Week #15)
Hyori moves up two more spots this week as it looks like K-pop has finally hit its stride on the Countdown. With some new Bi (SUPPOSEDLY) coming to me in October all I can say is BRING IT ON!
12. Hearts Grow – Sora (Last Week #17, Biggest Mover)
Hearts Grow is officially back! They move up five big spots this week as they inch toward another Top Ten video. With the Chachi’s coming up, can they make some noise and pick up a nod or two? We will have to see!
11. Maroon 5 – Goodnight, Goodnight (Last Week #14)
We inch closer to the upper half and we have a former chart topper in Maroon 5. It has been a while and a few videos I didn’t like but they have finally returned and it is about damn time. Needed some American pop music on here.
10. Yui – Summer Song (Last Week #6)
We begin the Top Ten with Yui who once again could not take over the number one spot. You know, she needs another “Rolling Star” because her last three songs have all sounded the same. The sound is great but still. Give me some RAWK!
9. UVERworld – Koishikute (Last Week #12)
UVERworld is officially back in Top 10! It has been a few months (“Roots” made it to number nine a few months back) but we now have some ballad action from The World and if anyone knows how to do it, it is Takuya and the boys.
8. Bennie K feat SOFFet – Music Traveler (Last Week #8)
Bennie K stalls at number eight this week after a pretty swift move into the Top Ten last week. It has been a HUGE year for Yuki and Cico but once again, they had one big video. Unlike some other artists in 2008.
7. Game feat. Lil Wayne – My Life (Last Week #7)
Game also stands pat this week as he and Lil Wayne hold down the lucky number seven spot. So Lil’ Wayne is back to being everywhere. I just saw him in a AIG commercial and all I can say is that it was bangin. Get money!
6. Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl (Last Week #3)
Miss Hyori fails to take the top spot! As a matter of fact, she falls three big spaces and out of the Top Five! Been a great comeback for her, better than Britney’s anyway. She can just…go the hell away.
5. John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light (Last Week #10, Biggest Mover)
John Legend is once again back near the top! He ties with Hearts Grow as the biggest mover as he rockets up five spots this week. Can he break the streak and take over the top spot? By the way, Andre 3000 is my idol. That is all.
4. Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On (Last Week #1, Three Weeks at #1)
After three weeks at number one, Young Jeexy and Kanye are knocked off the throne! Just short of a month, this song has been arguably the biggest rap song of 2008….not by Lil Wayne anyway. We are down to three!
3. FLOW – WORLD END (Last Week #5)
FLOW pulls into the Top Three for the first time in over TWO YEARS! It has been a while but this video is well worth the wait. I am not a fan of the anime but I am all about this song and you can tell by how often I listen to it.
2. NERD feat Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pusha-T – Everybody Nose (Remix) (Last Week #4)
Well, CRS is looking to take over the top spot for the second time of 2008 as this remix moves up to the runner up spot! This gives Lupe and Pharrell their second Top Three video and gives Kanye his FOURTH of 2008. Can they take over? Well we have a new number one and with this video at number two, you know who is on the top!
1. Fonzworth Bentley feat Andre 3000 & Kanye West – Everybody [Don’t Stop] (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)
Everybody, pay attention! Fonzworth Bentley has his first number one video with his first ever single! He brings along Kanye (Who knew?) and Andre 3000 (Again, who knew?) to the top with him with arguably my favorite video of 2008 not including Bennie K or The Wonder Girls. We can officially say that hip hop is back. Wait, Nelly has an album this week. FUCK! Anyway, congrats Fonzie!
That is all for this week! Tune in next Friday to see if Fonzworth and Company can make it two weeks on top? Or will everybody get in line after NERD? Or can FLOW take the top spot back for J-Rock? See you in seven to find out!
Well, I have to be in Denver today so I will not be back on with a post until odds are Sunday night. Until then, stay up peeps.
Chachi Out
