ITS FRIDAY, BITCHES! And you know what that means…
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
Lets get started with a collabo video with my lady love…
20. Sowelu, EXILE & DOBERMAN INC – 24 Karat (New Entry)
My dear Sowelu….you have returned to me. And you bought EXILE with you? Uh…well the Deuce is a one wang party if you get my drift. Anyway, this is the first time Sowelu has been on the Countdown and the same with EXILE. That is shocking because I LOVE “Lovers Again”. That was my song for about a month. If you excuse me, I am going to watch Sowelu shake again. Niiiiiiiiiiiiice.
19. Abingdon Boys School – Howling (Last Week #15, One week at #1)
Okay, that’s it. WHERE IN THE FUCK IS THE ABINGDON BOYS SCHOOL ALBUM?! I have waited long enough, I need my fucking rock! Through playing around with ya’ll.
18. Nelly Furtado – Do It (New Entry)
Well it is about time. I have waited for a video for this song for about…seven or eight months. Needless to say I am excited as anyone. Now give me some new Yuna Ito and I may have the greatest year ever. Sowelu, Nelly Furtado and Yuna Ito at the same time…now THAT’S big pimpin.
17. Chamillionare – Hip Hop Police (Last Week #19)
So this video is so telling that it hurts inside. After Teq’s release party I was surprised to see all the police outside of SoDo, which is a good three blocks south of the “real downtown” if you can call it that. Hateration, peeps. Hateration. Word is Chamillionare didn’t curse or say the n-word on his album. I want to hear that. It must be like seven minutes total.
16. T.I. – Big Things Poppin’ (Last Week #11, Plunge of the Week)
Despite having arguably the biggest album released in 2007, his video takes a HUGE fall from #11 to #16. Where in the hell is a new video? There are better songs on the album to give to us as a single. Get to crackin!
15. FLOW - Answer (Last Week #16)
FLOW moves up a modest spot this week to #15. Anyone know if this is from anything (anime, j-drama, movie OST) or is it just a single? Just curious, their last three singles came from something and I wondered if this was the same. Great stuff.
14. UVERworld - Shaka Beach~Laka Laka La~ (Last Week #17)
Well DUH! Just got the single today (I try to buy all the UVERworld stuff because it’s the FUCKING ‘WORLD!) and I was not disappointed. Nowhere near “SHAMROCK” but few songs ever will be. I want an album by November. Or at least a mini-album a la Bennie K. Speaking of foxy ladies…
13. Foxxi MisQ feat Zeebra – Luxury Ride (Last Week #9)
…The foxy ladies of Foxxi MisQ fall four spots and out of the Top 10. Look out now, but Tenjo Chiki has joined the groups trying to knock Hinoi Team off their perch as the j-pop divas in my heart. And they are legal, so it’s the best of all worlds! Bite me, in Japan I likes them too old. Marinate on that.
12. Gym Class Heroes – Clothes Off (Last Week #14)
Slowly but surely, Gym Class Heroes is moving toward the Top 10 by moving two spots this week. Now is this on their old album or new album? I don’t know which one to cop (I hate “Cupid’s Chokehold” so that album isnt getting bought) and I really want the right one. Little help?
11. John Legend – Stereo (Last Week #13)
Another day, another John Legend video. He is one step away from tying UVERworld with four Top 10 videos (right now he is tied with a glut of others with three) and could reach the elusive FOURTH #1. Look out, UVERworld is only three spots back!
10. Yui – My Generation (Last Week #5, Plunge of the Week)
BOOOOOO! I needs me some Yui RIGHT NOW! I just downloaded her latest single (From the radio so it is not the best quality but Yui is Yui) and I think I likes it a lot. Maybe a little more than “My Generation.” Not as kick ass as “Rolling Star” and a little better than CHE.R.RY because of personal reasons so lets hope for a video soon!
9. Kanye West feat. Daft Punk – Stronger (Last Week #12)
Okay, this song has officially grown on me. After hearing some of the pre-release of “Graduation” all I can say is that I am looking forward to this album. Even moreso than I that “College Dropout” and I was ALL OVER that album. This video also gets a groove on you, seeing as it isnt like every other video out there.
8. AI – Brand New Day (Last Week # 10)
Slowly but surely, AI moves up another two spots and slow makes her way toward the Top 5. You know, hers was the only performance I really enjoyed during the Live Earth concert last month. Well, aside from Shakira’s peep show I mean. I really want to see AI live, that would kick ass.
7. Gackt – RETURNER ~Yami no Shuuen~ (Last Week #6)
NOOOOO! The hotness of Gackt was too much for the Top 5 to handle! Gackt falls a spot this week to #7 and this is not a reflection on this video. It is a reflection of the rest because this month is kicking the ass on the video front. Unfortunatly, someone had to suffer in the rotation and it was Gackt.
6. Abingdon Boys School – Nephilim (Last Week #8)
Abingdon Boys School moves two steps closer to their second Top Five video. I am STILL WAITING for an album and I am getting very impatient about it. If any of the album is as good as “Howling” they have a fan for life.
5. Hearts Grow - Mimawari (Last Week #7)
W00T! Hearts Grow makes their way to the Top Five with my new ringtone! Hells yeah, as soon as I figure out how to send them to non-Verizon customers I will get some J-Pop ringtones out to the peeps that want them. Hey, I am a giver.
4. Foxxi MisQ feat. Miss Monday – Party Booty Shake (Last Week #2)
Once again, Foxxi MisQ falls a tad bit short from the #1 spot after peaking last week at #2. Can I just say that with Tenjo Chiki having a new video (and scantily clad, I might add) we may have a little competition for the J-Pop Princesses! When Korean and Japanese women sing and dance, the people win. We are down to three…
3. L`Arc~en~Ciel – Seventh Heaven (Last Week #1, One week at #1)
After one week on top, Hyde and the boys fall two spots but stay in the Top Three! It was a long ride and they finally got their due. L’Arc~en~Ciel is a classic band that deserves all the accolades that come to them. For the non-fans, check them out and for the fans get ready for (hopefully) a new album soon!
2. Common – The People (Last Week #4)
Hip hop in effect! Common is one step away from the pinnacle! If you havent picked up “Finding Forever” yet you may want to get off your ass and cop that. It is very good stuff and has something for hip hop and non-hip hop fans alike. Not only that, this video is simple in its brilliance and there isnt a spinning necklace or a shaking ass to be seen. Sometimes hip hop can be magic. Well, we are at #1…
1. UGK feat. Outkast – International Players Anthem (Last Week #3, Five total weeks at #1)
And look who is back! After a one week hiatus, UGK and Outkast take back the number one spot for a record tying FIFTH WEEK by pulling an UVERworld! Not since John Legend’s “Save Room” has a video displayed such dominance. L’Arc~en~Ciel got their crown for a week, but you cant keep the kings down! I just heard the UGK album (once its in stores I'm gonna grab it) and all I can say is...pretty damn good. Suprising to say the least. Sweet Jones!
The Countdown ends for this week. Tune in next Friday to see if UGK and Outkast can make it SIX WEEKS at #1! Or will Common take his people and rest at #1? Or does Hyde and crew have another run left in them? Tune in next week to find out!
That is all for this Friday. I am off to see Rush Hour 3 and get ready for my first week of work on Monday. If anyone wants to roll (that lives in the area, I mean) let me know. Until next time, stay up peeps.
Chachi Out.
