What is up, peeps! It is my last day of freedom for a while so to celebrate, it is time for the Friday tradition!
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
We have three debut videos this week, all from artists who have had number one videos! Makes for a great fall and winter! Let’s get started with the return of my original baby boo!
20. Kumi Koda – Taboo (New Entry)
MY BABY BOO IS BACK!! After over 18 months of lackluster (Read: BAD) videos Kumi Koda is finally back with some hawtness! While it is not up to the standard of “Juicy” which created a paradigm shift in how videos have been created ever since, it is still hawt as hell. Catchy little ditty, too.
19. Wonder Girls - Nobody (New Entry)
HELL YES! The greatest thing to come out of Korea since Bulldog Mansion (Buy “Funk”…RIGHT FUCKING NOW! Yes it is old but it is SO WORTH IT!) is back with an even BETTER video than before! Although JYP is there (He kind of annoys me) he doesn’t take away from one of the more original videos that ripped off a Beyonce led movie this year.
18. Kelun – CHU-BURA (Last Week #14, One Week at #1)
It looks like the run is over for Kelun. It was a huge summer for this band with a number one video and a Top Three video so it can’t be all that bad. And here is a spoiler…THREE CHACHI AWARD NOMINATIONS!
17. Yuna Ito – Miss You (Last Week #19)
Mmm….I missed you Miss Ito. How have you been? Oh, you have a new video and it moves up two spots this week? Very nice. Can….can I touch your hair?
16. T.I. – What Up, What’s Happening (New Entry)
Two months, three T.I. videos. Yes, the KING IS BACK! This video is so simple in its greatness as he pretty much tells those that hate to eat a dick….Monarch style. Also, I don’t know what a Shawty Lo is, but he just got SERVED.
15. Alicia Keys - Superwoman (Last Week #18)
Miss Alicia looks to end this year how she began it: at number one. She moves up another three spots this week as this makes her fourth video of 2008 to chart. She and Kanye are really battling for the artist of the year with one other person.
14. Yui – Summer Song (Last Week #10)
Yui happens to be that person With three number two videos this year she has come so close to being the best there ever was but man….no one remembers number two. I still love you!
13. T.I. – Whatever You Like (Last Week #16)
More Clifford! TI moves up another three spots this week as we look forward to eventual Album of the Year nominee “Paper Chase” on Tuesday. I have it (Don’t ask how) and dammit….it is awesome.
12. Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl (Last Week #6, Plunge of the Week)
Miss Hyori falls a HUGE six places this week and out of the Top 10! Very good year for her and it was nice to see her back….and not ripping off of Britney Spears. Although I liked “Get Ya” a hell of a lot more than “Do Something” but the law is the law.
11. Hyori Lee – Hey Mr. Big! (Last Week #13)
More Hyori! She is on the verge of having her second Top 10 video of the year and can I just say that….damn she is fine. That is all. We are moving on to the Top 10!
10. Maroon 5 – Goodnight, Goodnight (Last Week #11)
After over a year and a half Maroon 5 is back! They move up one spot this week with this interesting video with the beginning and the ending of the video playing on the opposite side. Very faboo.
9. Bennie K feat SOFFet – Music Traveler (Last Week #8)
NEW BENNIE K VIDEO! It is all animated, though. I need my Yuki and Cico in their all natural and soft flesh! So soft…I’m creepy!
8. Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On (Last Week #4, Three Weeks at #1)
After holding down the Countdown for almost a month, Young Jeezy and Kanye fall four spots and out of the Top Five. New video from Jeezy but much like ”Go Getta” last year I am really not feeling the follow up. It may grow on me, though.
7. UVERworld – Koishikute (Last Week #9)
The World is slowly turning and moving up! They are just short of the Top Five which is a place they haven’t reached since the middle of last year. It has been a long stretch but they look to be back in the mix!
6. Hearts Grow – Sora (Last Week #12, Biggest Mover)
Huge moves by Hearts Grow! Last week they moved up five spots and they TOPPED THAT by vaulting up six spots this week! Is this video that good? Yes. Is this song that awesome? HELL YES! Can they get their first number one video on the third time? We will have to see!
5. Game feat. Lil Wayne – My Life (Last Week #7)
The Game and Lil Wayne move up two spots this week after stalling last week. Game is looking at being one of the big hip hop artists of 2008 after finally getting the monkey off his back of never having a number one video. Can he go two in a row?
4. NERD feat Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pusha-T – Everybody Nose (Remix) (Last Week #2)
After coming close to knocking off C.O.L.O.U.R.S. last week, the CRS posse falls two spots out of the Top Three. You know, I have been listening to this song for about three months now so by the time the video came out I was kind of played out of it. But still, kick ass video. We are down to three!
3. John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light (Last Week #5)
Andre 3000 is running 2008! John Legend brings him along as he achieves his SIXTH Top Three video! “Evolver” should be out soon and dammit I am so waiting for that! Can John get his record fourth number one video after failing on his last two attempts? Well, he will have to take down two heavyweights to do so!
2. FLOW – WORLD END (Last Week #3)
FLOW is one step away from their second number one video! It has been over TWO YEARS since “Re:Member” went to number one and over a year since their last video charted but they are making up for all of that right now by moving up one to the runner up spot. With all of that, they fell short to the reigning champ!
1. Fonzworth Bentley feat Andre 3000 & Kanye West – Everybody [Don’t Stop] (Last Week #1, Two Weeks at #1)
Don’t stop, baby! Fonzworth and Company hold it down on the chart for the second straight week! Yeah, I am just as shocked as you are but man this song is the mad notes! And nothing beats Andre 3000….nothing. Big ups to COLOURS!
That is all for now! Tune in next week to see if Fonzworth Bentley can make it three straight weeks at the top! Or will FLOW return to the top after two long years? Or will John Legend FINALLY get his record breaking 4th number one video? Tune in seven days from now to find out!
Well, I am out. Sushi tonight and then I will do my rant on the state of dancing on Sunday before I start work in hell on Monday. Yeah, I will be a pissed off panda until November. Until next time, stay up peeps.
Chachi Out!
