For those of you have NO idea what this is all about (since VH1 doesn't do it anymore), I'll explain things a bit. Fairway to Heaven was (still is?) a celebrity golf tournament VH1 organized for its Save the Music Foundation, if I'm not mistaken. Whenever that tournament would occur, VH1 would have the Top 10/Top 20 occur from the golf field, but it would be a Top 18 in order to keep with the golf motif. Typically there would be SEVERAL celebrity interviews on this show.
When the show was still the Top 10, though, it expanded into a 2-hour version; whereas the Top 20 stayed at 2 hours but reduced 2 spots. They would actually still show the #19 and #20 spots, though (or at least they did since 2004), but they would only be 30 second clips of those two videos.
Unfortunately for us, however, the VH1 Music Radar for this week listed the WRONG Top 20 Countdown. Brandon, though, was nice enough to give me the information, but it seems as if he doesn't have the last 2 spots. I would bet my bottom dollar that they are two of the songs I currently have there as "Fall-Offs," since from what I saw from 2004 onwards, it seems as if VH1 never put any debuts there, but rather had two old videos fall into those positions.
Who knows, though? Which is why I have left the positions blank in case someone knows those two videos and can give us the information and very kindly PMs them to me or posts them here. Hopefully this answered most questions people will have about this week's countdown, though.

From my knowledge I believe #19 is Celine Dion "I Drove All Night" and #20 is India.Arie "Can I Walk With You".

Well if no one contradicts what you just said, I'll update the countdown tonight. I figured it had to be two old songs just based on their pattern whenever they did the Top 18. And for some reason I was only considering 2 pairs: Bon Jovi & Avril and Celine & India.Arie. So I would've been willing to believe in either one.
Hmm... We seem to have two dissenting opinions, and I honestly I'm lost as to which one to believe (I honesty would've sworn it was going to be Avril & Bon Jovi given the patterns seen in other years...). So I'm just going to leave this matter unsettled until anyone can get concrete info on which were the bottom two videos that week.
Thus, here's what to expect for next week:
* FOUR countdown debuts including:
>> A Best Hip-Hop Video nominee at the VMAs that year.
>> Mr. A-Z deciding he won't worry his life away.
>> "So baby gimme that 'toot toot' / Lemme give you that 'beep beep'"
>> A young Mexican-American singer/songwriter from Fort Wayne, IN.
