Here's what to expect for next week:
* A not-so-new (but also not-so-old) #1 video.
* A countdown debut of a song that had to be edited in order for the NBA to use it as its Playoffs theme song and to not offend people with mental disabilities.
* A countdown return from one of this generation's R&B divas (yep, the third return in 5 weeks).
* And we say goodbye to two more videos, both of which were already in the double-digits as far as # of weeks in the countdown.

A note on this week's countdown:
I had Usher listed as #17 in my notes, but looking at the Pulse Music Boards (and their posting the countdowns from the VH1's Music Radar press releases), they had Lenny Kravitz listed as #17. I've changed it because it may well be that I missed the #17 video that week and guessed that it was Usher (since it was moving up spots back then).
If anyone who has the countdowns written down notices that Lenny Kravitz as #17 is wrong, feel free to tell me and I'll change it. Otherwise, Lenny shall hang in there for one more week (at least)...
Oh crap, I kinda forgot about this thread... Anyway, great debut and return!! Although I also really liked "Don't Tell Me." Good #1 video also.
Here's what to expect for next week:
* A brand-new #1 video.
* Two countdown debuts, including:
>> One from a guy who until last week had 2 videos on the countdown at the same time. And now he gets two videos again!?!?
>> The other from a rock band that spent 5 weeks on the countdown's #1 spot back in March and April 2003 (that's right, I'm making you look through the thread for this). I guess you could say they're countdown favorites, since even their video with the GEICO cavemen made it into the Top 20 back in 2009...
* And we say goodbye to two African-American males.
Good debut from Usher; can't remember the 3 Doors Down song. Oh, and awesome #1!!!
Here's what to expect for next week:
* A countdown debut from a Canadian female singer, who is disappointed that she will not have the kind of ending they have in fairy tales.
* A fall-off from another female Canadian singer (so I guess it's tit for tat here).
And this week's debuts:
3 Doors Down, "Away from the Sun"
Usher, "Confessions Part I and II"
Note: Part I is the phone conversation and the sung snippet at the beginning of the video. Part II is the song we all know and love.
Good debut!! And glad to see OutKast on the #1 spot!
Here's what to expect for next week:
* More OutKast dominance.
* A countdown debut from a Canadian band, whose lead singer muses what would happen "if I traded it all; if I gave it all away." I wonder what one thing he'd give all away for...
* A second debut from then-Mrs. Lachey, covering one of Robbie Williams's greatest hits.
* And we say goodbye to a rock band and an R&B diva.
Although I also really liked "Don't Tell Me." Good #1 video also.
At least she peak at an amazing #4.
