Well, it is Friday once again so you know what means! It is time for the…
Passion of Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
We begin with a new video from a lesser known hip hop artist!
20. Skillz feat Talib Kweli – So Far So Good/Sick (New Entry)
REAL HIP HOP IS BACK! After like, 16 millenia Skillz FINALLY releases an album that I can find! This video is straight Pete Rock & CL Smooth shit! Talib Kweli does his job and there are at least 5 lines in here that just make ou say “Damn, that was tight!” or whatever the kids say now a days.
19. Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy (Last Week #16, Two Weeks at #1)
We go from the return of hip hop to the end of a reign. TK has been on the Countdown since…April? Hell maybe even March. He has taken the top and slowly fallen but this looks like his last week on. It has been a hell of a run, sir.
18. New Kids On The Block - Summertime (New Entry)
OMG! OMG! OMG! The New Kids are back! All I can say is that it is about damn time! I was in need of some Jordan Knight! Also, I plan on seeing them in November. Anyone who is down let me know!
17. BACK-ON – Sands of Time (Last Week #14)
BACK-ON falls backwards three spots this week as we move on this week. It was a quick rise for them and I am hoping to see something else from them soon as it was one hell of a wait just to get this.
16. Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On (Last Week #20, Co-Biggest Mover)
The Snowman cometh, even in summertime! Young Jeezy and Kanye move up four big spots this week as Kanye looks to cement his HUGE year while Jeezy tries to make a name for himself in 2008. He was on the top with Usher already this year and Kanye has been on top twice. A lot of star power here.
15. Fonzworth Bentley feat. Andre 3000 & Kanye West – Everybody [Don’t Stop] (Last Week #17)
Speaking of Ye, he hops on board with Andre 3000 and Fonzworth Bentley as this one moves up two spots this week. Never thought I would see Fonzworth Bentley on here and it has been a while since we have seen three Stacks on here. GIVE ME “GREEN LIGHT” WITH JOHN LEGEND RIGHT NOW!
14. YA-KYIM – Super Looper (Last Week #11, Three Weeks at #1)
The ladies of YA-KYIM continue to fall this week. You know, as of right now they are the girl gourp to beat of 2008. Well….not named Bennie K I mean. If feels like a year ago that “Monochrome” dominated the chart but here we are.
13. Seamo feat Ayuse Kozue - Honey (Last Week #12)
After hit number twelve for two straight weeks, Seamo falls a spot this week. He has been hanging around for a while, I wonder if this is just a minor setback?
12. Chris Brown - Forever (Last Week #8, Plunge of the Week)
Chris Breezy falls from the Top 10! “Forever” feels like it has been out forever and now that this is officially going to be a Doublemint gum commercial…no. Fuck no, you gots ta go.
11. RBD - Empezar Desde Cero (Last Week #15, Co-Biggest Mover)
The second big mover this week belongs to the sexy six-dom (Minus The Uck) of RBD! They look to get their second Top 10 video of the year as they haven’t released an album and they cancelled Denver shows TWICE but I still love them. As anyone knows….I live to be treated poorly.
10. Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl (Last Week #13)
Well, Hyori is moving up hella fast! After three weeks she is already in the Top 10! I don’t believe she has ever been on here and seeing as she went into hiding after the “Dark Angel” fiasco I have to say it is good to see her back. I wish she would eat something though. Just heartbreaking to see her being 81 pounds.
9. Usher – Moving Mountains (Last Week #6)
Looks like Usher’s run has come to an end as he falls three more spots. No word on a new video from his latest album but you never know. He could just pop up out of nowhere like he did with “Love In The Club.”
8. Yui – Summer Song (Last Week #10)
Yui continues her slow climb this week! It feels like she has a video on here every week and I can honestly say that I never get tired of her. Like I always say: hot ladies + acoustic guitars = ME LIKE!
7. Paramore – That’s What You Get (Last Week #4, Two Weeks at #1)
After holding the top spot down two weeks ago, Paramore falls this week and looks to be on hiatus for a while seeing as how they are on tour. I TOTALLY MISSED THEM LAST WEEKEND! Eh, I was at Copper’s and I would rather be there having beers and watching movies than sitting through The Offspring. Not a fan anymore, sorry.
6. Kelun – CHU-BURA (Last Week #9)
Kelun is back near the top again! It has been a great three months or so for these guys as they are clamoring for some recognition come September/October for the Chachi Awards. Can they pull some nods? Keep this up and they sure will!
5. Game feat Keisha Cole – Pain (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)
The Game falls three big spots this week but with an album less than a month away and two videos coming expect to see a little more of him in 2008.
4. T.I. – No Matter What (Last Week #7)
T.I. is back in the Top Five! The King of the South hasn’t been up here since last year with “Hurt” so it is good to see him back. Hopefully Paper Trail will be better than “TI vs. TIP” because I really wasn’t a fan of that one. We are down to three!
3. Ikimono-Gakari - Bluebird (Last Week #5)
And we begin with Ikimono-Gakari! They are having a great 2008 as they enter the Top Three for the first time. This is one of the bigger videos of the summer and with a Naruto movie out soon (Like….now) and an album before the end of the year, they may be poised to break out. We will have to see!
2. Wonder Girls – So Hot (Last Week #3)
Wow, isn’t this wonderful? The Wonder Girls dance up one spot to the runner up position this week! Now this song is the biggest thing to hit Korea since WarCraft and needless to say I can see why. This song is catchy as hell and this video pretty much equals jailtime. Even still, it is one step away from the top. But who are the reigning champs?
1. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Hot Limit (Last Week #1, Two Weeks at #1)
Two weeks in a row for HAMC! After being shut out from the top recently, they seem to have made a home up here. I need to learn this song well enough to do it at karaoke on Saturday because I am SO GONNA TEAR IT UP! This song is badass! Because of it, the song is at number one for a second week. Congrats!
That is all for this week! Can HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR make it three weeks in a row? Or will the Wonder Girls take their hotness to the top? Or can Ikimono-Gakari pull one of the biggest upsets ever and get their first number one video? Tune in next Friday to find out!
Well, I have to go pick up Griff and his succubus in about….three hours so I will be back up at some point this weekend. Until then, stay up peeps.
Chachi Out. AND VOTE FOR SUPER CR3W!!
