This week the VVC is leaving behind the stain left by Britain's Got Talent and its myriad video clips to travel across the Atlantic to check-in with the great American never-ending election campaign.
Election '08 may not be until November next year, and the primaries not until January, but that hasn't stopped the various candidates for the Democratic and Republican nominations campaigning like crazy.
And the internet is bearing the full brunt of it. Previously, YouTube was the destination for candiate bloopers and home-made political videos but not anymore - now the candidates themsleves are getting in on the act.
The big story this week was the release of Hillary Clinton's online Sopranos spoof which generated column inches by the bucket load and left bloggers scrambling for their keyboards.
Despite the coverage it received, the video is not at the top of our special Election '08 chart this week, if only for the reason that it was only released on Wednesday. Watch it rise next week.
Barack Obama is still the man to watch amongst many bloggers and leads this week's chart as the star of a musical homage. He also appears at number ten in a direct-to-camera chat.
However, he is not the most popular candidate according to our chart - that honour goes to the little-known Republican congressman Ron Paul, who appears no less than three times in the top 10.
