It is about that time! Five straight days of posts is hard work but you know I just did it! We end it with the Friday staple!
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
Rough week for me but even rougher for these artists on Falling Out:
Paramore – Decode (Peaked at #3)
Game featuring Ne-Yo – Camera Phone (Peaked at #13)
Both Game and Paramore were former number one artists but failed to recapture the success. This week we begin with the RETURN OF THE GREATEST BAND SINCE BOSTON!!!
20. Abingdon Boys School - STRENGTH (New Entry)
TM Revolution brings ABS back to the Top 20! After over a year of hiatus, they return with the closing theme to Soul Eater which I have to say HELLS YES! The video is simple and oddly enough reminds me of the Beetlejuice suit but still…IT IS TM REVOLUTION! FTW!
19. BoA – Eat You Up [Korean Version] (Last Week #16, Four Weeks at #1)
BoA falls a big three spots this week as it looks like she is spending her last week in the Top 20 after a dominant 2009 and end of 2008. Man…I need her English album now.
18. T.I. featuring Justin Timberlake – Dead and Gone (New Entry)
The second debut this week is from a man I won’t be seeing for a while. But he brought back J-Tim with him to boot! This is one of my favorite songs on the Paper Trail album and the video is a little more low key than his last few but it is a perfect parallel for the going to jail aspect. Good stuff!
17. Shion Tsuji – Sky Chord ~Otona ni Naru Kimi he~ (Last Week #20)
Shion moves up this week with her first time out. You know, the filler aspect of the new Bleach arc totally works with the look into the past. Nothing to do with this video but I likes my Bleach.
16. Ikimonogakari – Kimagure Romanteikku (Last Week #14)
Two more spots they fall as Ikimonogakari continues their downward spiral. I don’t see anything new coming from them in a while either. NOOOOO!
15. Young Jeezy featuring Nas – My President Is Black (Last Week #13)
Jeezy and Nas fall two big spots this week as it looks like Jeezy will fail to hit the Top 10 yet again. After a pretty good run he has been held back two straight times. Nas on the other hand has never been up there. For shame because I am a Nas fan.
14. Nana Mizuki – TRICKSTER (Last Week #12)
Nana falls two spots this week as we move on. Man, I still dig this song something fierce. And she is a cutie patootie! With Yuna Ito back though…she has to move down on the list some.
13. BoA - Eien (Last Week #15)
My baby boo is moving up! I am wonder if this song is part of a Japanese language album because if so…damn it I’m gonna be all over YesAsia.
12. Kanye West – Heartless (Last Week #10)
NEW KANYE! AND IT IS GOOD KANYE! Digitally pixilated but still. NEW KANYE!
11. UVERworld – 99/100 Damashi no Tetsu (Last Week #18, Biggest Mover)
THE WORLD HAS A NEW ALBUM! I am going to say this…right now. Everyone else making albums in 2009 should sit down because it is over. UVERworld is back and they are rocking your damn face into your ass. Because of that, they move up a massive seven spots this week. HELLS AND YES!
10. Aqua Timez - Velonica (Last Week # 8)
We are into the Top 10 and it looks like Aqua Timez are on their way out. It was a good comeback as they were so close to the top only to be thwarted by the juggernaught that is YA-KYIM but everyone else has, too.
9. John Legend – Everybody Knows (Last Week #11)
John Legend is back, people! I have officially made this my new favorite R&B video not made by Ciara (I am feeling that video, BTW) and I have to say that it is good to see him step from behind the piano.
8. Joe Inoue – Closer (Last Week #5)
Joe Inoue falls out of the Top Five this week. They have a new video and single so that does take away the sting some, though. That and why isn’t Naruto being subbed anymore? I mean I haven’t watched it in like 20 episodes but still! I liked it being there for me to not download! I kid, I kid I miss it.
7. B.o.B. – I’ll Be In The Sky (Last Week #9)
B.o.B. is slowly but surely moving up the Countdown as he hops up two spots this week. You know…I think he may be a Chappelle. Look at him and tell me you don’t think “Piss On You Remix!”
6. YA-KYIM respects KOME KOME CLUB – Kimi Ga Iru Dake De (Last Week #2, Four Weeks at #1)[Plunge of the Week]
After ruling the Countdown for a full month, YA-KYIM not only lost the top spot two weeks ago but they fall from the Top Five this week! Can they rebound? Let’s find out!
5. BACK-ON – flyaway (Last Week #7)
BACK-ON is higher than they have been in THREE YEARS as they are back in the Top Five! Can they reclaim the success of Chain? I know this; I am pissed I gotta wait another year for a new album from these guys.
4. Jesse McCartney – It’s Over (Last Week #6)
J-Mac is one step away from the Top Three! He moves up two more spots as he looks to bring pop back to the Countdown from the male side. New video out but I am still all about this one. But with that said…we are down to three!
3. RSP with DA BUBBLE GUM BROTHERS – LA.LA.LA LOVE SONG (Last Week #1. One Week at #1)
After a long journey and a week at the top, RSP and BGB falls two spots to the bronze medal position! RSP has a new video out though and BGB…well no one really knows what they do because they are too awesome.
2. NERD – Sooner or Later (Last Week #4)
Pharrell has silently moved back to the runner up spot! NERD has move up two spots and look to capture the top spot for the first time ever. Skateboard P was on top with CRS but can he do it with his original group? If so it will have to be next week because we have a new number one video!
1. YA-KYIM respects SEAMO - SA IKOU! (Last Week #3, One Week at #1)
For the second time of 2009, YA-KYIM captures the crown! After about two months of steady climbing they have their second number one video of the year. Do we have a new dynasty on our hands? They already have more number one videos than Bennie K and Wonder Girls so…we may have new queens! Congrats!
That is all for this Friday! Tune in next week to see if YA-KYIM can make it two weeks in a row back at the top! Or will NERD finally capture the crown? Or can RSP rebound and make it a second non-consecutive weeks? See you in seven!
Well, odds are it is Denver after work tonight and I believe downtown on Saturday so don’t expect to see me this weekend. You may, but it won’t be likely. A revelation of a week this week but it worked out for the best as I knuckled up about stuff but still. Stay up, peeps.
Chachi Out
