Okay, enough talk! MORE BUSINESS! And I am in the business of giving you the business of the twenty biggest videos on the planet. And business is booming!
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
Let’s start with the videos no longer with us in Falling Out:
Hearts Grow – Sora (Peaked at #1 for Three Weeks)
Hearts Grow had one of the best runs of 2008. Let’s hope an album comes soon! Now let’s start with arguably the artist with the biggest YEAR!
20. T.I. – What Up, What’s Happening (Last Week #17)
The King of the South falls three spots this week as we begin the Countdown! It has been a dominant year so far, beginning in the Top Three and maybe ending at number one? Stay tuned!
19. Kanye West – Heartless (New Entry)
The other main contender for Artist of the Year has yet ANOTHER video debut on the Countdown! I am liking this song more and more as I hear it and the video (Albeit animated) has grown on me as well. Welcome back, Ye!
18. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Remember (Last Week #15)
It looks like it is over for HAMC as their last video as a group for now looks to be spending its last week on the chart. We will remember…the good times…talk among yourself, I need air!
17. Joe Inoue – Closer (Last Week #20)
Okay, I am back and better now. Because Joe Inoue is moving on up! This video has a whole Gorillaz feel to it which is definitely a good thing.
16. Wonder Girls - Nobody (Last Week #13, One Week at #1)
Yeah…I need me some more Wonder Girls. Prepare the party van and call Chris Hansen because I need to take a seat over there because of them! BALDERDASH!
15. David Cook – Light On (Last Week #18)
David Cook is slowly moving up the Countdown this week. Kind of like another American Idol winner by the name of Daughtry. It took him almost two months to make it to the top which bodes well for Mr. Cook.
14. Kanye West – Love Lockdown (Last Week #10, Two Weeks at #1)
More Kanye! Okay, I actually LIKE “808 and Heartbreaks” so either I am in the minority or hip hoppers are in the closet about this album. Much like Kanye is firmly in the closet. I AM KIDDING!
13. RSP with DA BUBBLE GUM BROTHERS – LA.LA.LA LOVE SONG (Last Week #14)
RSP moves up only one spot this week. However, I AM SO LEARNING THE WORDS TO THIS SONG! Karaoke…I think I am ready to break it out.
12. Young Jeezy – Crazy World (Last Week #11)
Jeezy has a new video out soon! Which is good because this one falls a spot this week just short of the Top 10.
11. Aqua Timez - Velonica (Last Week # 16, Biggest Mover)
So…can we officially say that Aqua Timez is back? Just checking. They move up a big five spots this week as we now know that they can make a Bleach theme like no one else. Including the movie, isn’t this three?
10. Kumi Koda – Taboo (Last Week #8)
We are in the Top 10 as we begin with Kumi Koda! My baby boo falls two spots this week but I still have a soft spot for her. Just not in my pants. AH-OOOHHH-GA!
9. Nana Mizuki – TRICKSTER (Last Week #12)
Wow, Nana Mizuki move up three spots and into the Top 10 for the first time ever! It has been a pretty slow year for first timers on the Countdown this year but Nana is looking to follow ANOTHER NaNa that made a splash in 2007!
8. Paramore – Decode (Last Week #9)
Okay, I officially hate Twilight even more now. Who in the fuck optioned a video game for this shit?! The rumors better be false, goddamnit! Oh, Paramore moves up a spot this week. I am just so pissed off right now.
7. Rain (Bi) – Rainism (Last Week #4)
I almost have “Freeway” down for karaoke! “I’m Coming” isn’t going as swimmingly but damn it is hard to learn for someone that speak little to know Korean. This week, Bi falls once again. Time for a new video, guy.
6. UVERworld – Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi (Last Week #6)
The World stands pat at number six this week as they look to have stalled once again. Maybe a new album will help that out a tad…
5. Ikimonogakari – Kimagure Romanteikku (Last Week #7)
Ikimonogakari is back near the top! After a short break they move up two spots this week and back into the Top Five. The competition gets hellish from here on out, though. Can they hang?
4. Halcali – LONG KISS GOODBYE (Last Week #5)
Halcali moves up one spot this week as they inch closer to their first number one video in over two years! It has been a long ass time since “Tip Tip Taps” but this song and video are up there. My have they grown up…sunrise, sunset! We are down to three!
3. YUI – I’ll Be (Last Week #3)
YUI stands pat at number three this week as she watches a knockdown drag out fight for the top spot! Could she be faltering? Or just biding her time? We will have to see next week because for the third time ever….we have a tie for the throne!
1.T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life (Last Week #1, Five Weeks at #1)
T.I. and Rihanna spend their FIFTH WEEK at number one and all I can say is that they are really fighting Bennie K for the video of the year crown. They have been on the Countdown longer with this video and are looking for more! Problem is, they split the crown this week…
1. BoA – Eat You Up [Korean Version] (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)
With the new Queen of K-Pop! BoA FINALLY takes the number one spot after a long run to the top! Okay, this song has officially grown on me and I can get past the “engrish” enough to enjoy a great dance track. Welcome to the top, baby!
Well, that is all for this week! Tune in next week to see if T.I. and BoA can break the tie! Or will Yui take the top after their exhausting brawl for number one? Or can Halcali kiss everyone goodbye and take over the Countdown throne? Tune in next Friday to find out!
Well, it is happy hour and then (probably) karaoke on the Friday before Christmas! I will be back on Sunday with the Chachi Music Awards Nominee Special so stay tuned! Until then, stay up peeps!
