This just in: John Legend is the premiere for this week's VH1 Top 20.

Leap Of The Week Criteria:
1. Must be a video in the Top 20 from the Previous week (no Contender, Debut [unless it is Top 5], or return).
2. If there is a tie for LOTW, then ALL of the artists in question are credited with the Leap Of The Week.
3. EXCEPTION: if no video that week has a more than +3.

Sara Bareilles is at #2!!!!!!!
Must. Vote. Like. Crazy. For. Her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But Natasha being removed...

Touch removed

Do we have UMG/Sony/Vevo to blame for Natasha's removal too?
ughh. it seems like all the good songs are being removed at once. >.<

Sad Touch was removed, and California Gurls removed is fine with me. I hated that song and Katy let me down with it.

My Ideal:
23. Fantasia
22. Katy Perry - California Gurls
21. Mike Posner

20. Usher
19. Jason Derulo
18. Eminem/Rihanna
17. B.O.B./Hayley Williams
16. Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
15. Plain White T's
14. Ke$ha (not impressed by this entirely)
13. The Script
12. Adam Lambert
11. Mumford And Sons (more songs like this should be on, like VH1 Top 20's roots in a way)
10. Katy Perry - Teenage Dream
9. The Black Keys
8. Train
7. Daughtry
6. Paramore
5. Kris Allen
4. Lady Antebellum
3. John Mayer
2. Goo Goo Dolls (great song this is)
1. Sara Bareilles

My ideal should give you an idea of who I like

VH1 Adds - Week of 8/30/10
Taylor Swift - Mine (Big Machine)
Usher f/Pitbull - DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love (LaFace/JLG)
Linkin Park - The Catalyst (Warner Bros.)

Yay for Linkin Park.
ANOTHER Usher video to be added on VH1? What is this, 4-5 in 2-3 months?

Haha, I had just told a friend there three would be added this weekend.

My guess
Taylor Swift [Large] [Premiere]
Usher [Medium]
Linkin Park [Medium]

VH1 Adds - Week of 8/30/10

Usher goes straight to Large? LP should've gotten Large too.

2 great premiere this week LP and Taylor Swift <333

We're guaranteed at least 3 debuts/returns next week.

Most likely, Usher will be one of those debuts with his song w/Pitbull....I hope Linkin Park can debut and...I guess Hanson.

so pretty much all but 1 song on this voting list will at least be featured on the countdown or contenders. They do need to expand their playlist a bit, just saying.

Sara Bareilles queen of the countdown this week!!!!!!!!!!!!
But most likely for this week only. I bet Eminem gets #1 next week...

I wouldn't be so sure. Then again, Eminem's doing well thx to the Rihanna fans? Maybe....
