10. Don’t Start Now – Dua Lipa (March 2020 Top Pick)
This song appeared in the top songs of 2019 at number 80. One of the many TikTok influenced songs on this list.

9. WAP – Cardi B ft. Megan Thee Stallion (September & December 2020 Top Pick)
A rap bop with a popular TikTok dance. The more I read the polarizing critical reviews, the more I appreciate the song.

8. Savage Remix – Megan Thee Stallion ft. Beyoncé
Don’t be confused when you also see the original “Savage” version at number 26. I first heard the solo release through TikTok videos before this equally good remix.

7. Sunday Best – Surfaces
Its first line perfectly describes the song: “Feeling good, like I should”.

6. Imahe – Magnus Haven (Top Philippine Song)
The alternative rock band’s song released in 2018 is the most-streamed song based on Spotify Philippines’ Wrapped 2020.

5. ROXANNE – Arizona Zervas
The pop-rap track became the first unsigned and fully independent artist to top the Spotify chart since the beginning of 2017.

4. Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat) – Jawsh 685 x Jason Derulo (June 2020 Top Pick)
The track entirely built off a sample of New Zealand music producer Jawsh 685‘s viral success “Laxed (Siren Beat)“.

3. Blinding Lights – The Weeknd
This song was everywhere the entire 2020 that it eventually became the number 1 song of multiple year-end charts such as the Spotify Wrapped, the US’s Billboard Hot 100, and the UK’s Official Singles Chart.

2. Say So – Doja Cat (April 2020 Top Pick)
It’s the funk and disco element that makes this one of the best songs that became viral in TikTok.

1. Dance Monkey – Tones and I (January 2020 Top Pick)
This was already the biggest song in Tones and I (born Toni Watson)’s hometown Australia in 2019. Then it became a commercial success outside the country the year after.

Happy 2021! Click here if you want to dance to the years 2019, 2010, and 2005 just one more time.

Top Songs of 2005 (+ 2000 & 2015)

Sixteen years ago, my journey began. Semestral break or October of 2004 was when I started a hobby of making lists of my favorite songs of every month or year. I was in elementary back then. The following January was when I paid attention to what songs I enjoyed and resonated the most each month. (See the top picks of the years 2010, 2019, and 2020)

Nothing compares to the good times when Eric Kupper’s beach mix to Bonnie Bailey‘s dance anthem “Ever After” was a vacation soundtrack here in the Philippines. It spent 16 weeks at number 1 in Y101 Cebu’s Weekend Top 20 that eventually became their (and my personal) top song of the year 2005.

Ever After – Bonnie Bailey

Meanwhile, Akon‘s third single from his debut studio album “Trouble” was my second favorite pick of 2005.

Lonely – Akon

It was a long time ago. The full top 60 songs of 2005 recorded got lost. Here’s the surviving draft where I listed down five new songs that I wanted each month:

January 2005:
1. Baby It’s You – Jojo ft. Bow Wow
2. Karma – Alicia Keys
3. Wag Na Wag Mong Sasabihin – Kitchie Nadal
4. Rumors – Lindsay Lohan

4. Do Somethin’ – Britney Spears
5. Like Toy Soldiers – Eminem

March 2005:
1. True – Ryan Cabrera

2. Beautiful Soul – Jesse McCartney
3. Get Right – Jennifer Lopez
4. Love Moves In Mysterious Ways – Nina
5. Boulevard Of Broken Dreams – Green Day

April 2005:
1. It’s Like That – Mariah Carey ft. Jermaine Dupri & Fatman Scoop

2. Over – Lindsay Lohan
3. Obsession (No Es Amor) – Frankie J ft. Baby Bash
4. Let Me Love You – Mario

June 2005:
1. Constantly – Nina

– – – the list ends here. i hope i can still find the full top 60 list. it must be here in the house somewhere. it must’ve thrown out. – – –

Here’s another retrieved document. A tally of an unspecified month:
Ass Like That – Eminem
Behind These Hazel Eyes – Kelly Clarkson
Cater 2 U – Destiny’s Child
Ever After – Bonnie Bailey
Fall To Pieces – Avril Lavigne
Kailan – MYMP
Let Me Hold You – Bow Wow ft. Omarion

Lose Control – Missy Elliott ft. Ciara & Fatman Scoop

– – – i can’t think of any song i remember added to this list. i even forgot i used to love that eminem and that brian mcfadden song. lol – – –

Sandali lang: I didn’t make any list a decade later. Filipino indie rock band Ang Bandang Shirley‘s cult-favorite “Nakauwi Na” was my top pick for 2015. Check out the rest of the 2010s in this playlist.

Norwegian pop duo M2M‘s debut single was my pick when I was a kid in 2000 with Pokémon’s first movie soundtrack, “Don’t Say You Love Me”.

Meron Lang Betamax (Verse 4: Salamat Sa The Dawn)

This is the last lyric breakdown of the four-segment article. Read parts 1, 2, and 3 here.

“Salamat sa the Dawn. Ang tatay ko, si Jack Sikat
Disyembre ni Binky Lampano, nangarap ang Identity Crisis
Wag kalimutan ang Wuds namatay sa ingay ng Dead Ends
Never meant to be Betrayed sa XB, NU at Club DREDD”

– From the last part of Pinoy rock band Sandwich‘s 2008 chart-topping hit “Betamax”.

Remember when this song took the number 1 spot in MYX Hit Chart and NU107‘s Stairway To Seven?

“Salamat sa the Dawn…”

As the last verse of “Betamax” continues, we are thankful for The Dawn‘s 1989 signature hit “Salamat”.

“Ang tatay ko, si Jack Sikat…”

The final and hilarious line “Ang tatay mong kalbo…” can be heard on “Golden Boy” by Jack Sikat‘s band Ethnic Faces from the new wave compilation album “10 Of Another Kind” released in 1989.

“Disyembre ni Binky Lampano…”

Another track from the best selling compilation album “10 Of Another Kind” comes the 1989 song “Healing” by Binky Lampano‘s rock and roll band Dean’s December.

“Nangarap ang Identity Crisis…”

Pinoy new wave band Identity Crisis dreams in “Pangarap” from the 1990 album “Water Came Running”.

“Wag kalimutan ang Wuds…”

Seminal punk trio Wuds and their 1994 anthemic tune “At Nakalimutan Ang Diyos”.

“Namatay sa ingay ng Dead Ends…”

Dead Ends is a punk band that came out during the Philippine punk movement in the 80s. Their 1995 hardcore track “Ingay” is part of their fourth studio album “Mamatay Sa Ingay”.

“Never meant to be Betrayed…”

“Never Meant To Be This Way” [1986] by Betrayed is Pinoy punk in a nutshell.

“Sa XB,…”

WXB 102 (simply known as XB) is a radio station in the 80s that dared to be different. The new wave station closed in 1987 after then-president Cory Aquino took over the office. WXB 102 continued its legacy through internet radio in 1998. And in 2006, they conducted the “102 Most Requested Songs of WXB” as voted by 800 listeners around the world. The Dawn hailed the top spot with “Enveloped Ideas” [1987].

“NU…”

After Corazon Aquino got elected and WXB 102 signed off the air in 1987, a “new rock” radio station in Mega Manila took over where XB had left and this time focused on mainly rock music. NU 107 shaped the Filipino rock genre both mainstream and underground for 2 decades. The official NU 107 requiem anthem “Ang Huling El Bimbo” [1996] by Eraserheads (the former band of Sandwich’s frontman Raymund Marasigan) was the last song played before the final sign off in 2010.

“at Club DREDD…”

Club DREDD is a night club that was popular among the rakistas (rock music fans) back in the 90s that discovered some of the biggest names in the industry including Color It Red, The Youth, Eraserheads, The Dawn, and AfterImage. Here’s Color It Red‘s hit song “Paglisan” [1994]:

Padayon.

Meron Lang Betamax (Verse 3: Baby Baby Rico J.)

This is a continuation of the previous article. Click here for verse 1. Here for verse 2.

“Baby baby Rico J., musikahan ni Ryan Ryan
Umiskul bukol kay Tito, Vic & Joey, sumayaw sa VST
Humataw kay Gary V., bumilad sa ballad ni Martin Nievera
Request sa DJ ni Sharon Cuneta, nangako sa’yo si Rey Valera”

– 3rd verse of alternative band Sandwich and their song “Betamax” [2008] which was gotten remixed by the guitarist Mong Alcaraz released last year from their club album “Space/Spase”.

“Baby baby Rico J….”

“Baby baby” comes from a lyric of Filipino soul music pioneer Rico J. Puno‘s 1977 Taglish song “Baby I’m For Real” from his seventh studio album “Rico Baby”.

“Musikahan ni Ryan Ryan…”

“Ryan Ryan Musikahan“ is a Philippine late-night musical show which ran from 1988 to 1995 in ABS-CBN hosted by Ryan Cayabyab. Cayabyab (or Mr. C) will always be synonymous with the word “musika“. His composition “Kay Ganda Ng Ating Musika” was performed by Hajji Alejandro in the First Metro Manila Popular Music Festival in 1978 where it won the grand prize.

“Umiskul bukol kay Tito, Vic & Joey…”

“Iskul Bukol” is a Philippine sitcom that aired in IBC-13 from 1978 to 1988. It stars Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey De Leon or collectively known as Tito, Vic & Joey (TVJ). The opening theme is inspired by Elvis Presley‘s 1957 chart-topper “All Shook Up”.

“Sumayaw sa VST…”

Nope. It is not “Sumayaw Sumunod” [1978] of The Boyfriends but from another Manila sound group VST & Company and their classic disco single “Awitin Mo At Isasayaw Ko” [1978].

“Humataw kay Gary V….”

“Hataw Na” [1993] is branded perfectly to ‘Mr. Pure Energy’ himself Gary Valenciano.

“Bumilad sa ballad ni Martin Nievera…”

“Ikaw Ang Lahat Sa Akin” [1994] is one of the ‘Concert King’ Martin Nievera‘s greatest ballads.

“Request sa DJ ni Sharon Cuneta…”

The song “Mr. DJ” [1978] drove Sharon Cuneta‘s rise to stardom and soon labeled as ‘The Megastar’ of the Philippines.

“Nangako sa’yo si Rey Valera…”

Originally titled simply as “Pangako” in 1982, Rey Valera‘s popular hit song was covered by Vina Morales for a primetime soap opera series now titled “Pangako Sa’Yo” that aired in ABS-CBN from 2000 to 2002.

Meron Lang Betamax (Verse 2: Nagreklamo Si Chickoy Pura)

This is a follow-up to the previous article.

“Nagreklamo si Chickoy Pura sa balita ng ASIN
Ang anak ni ka Freddie kinontra ni Edru Abraham
Dumoo bidoo ang APO Hiking, mga kababayan ni Francis M
Beh, buti nga sa Hotdog. Nosi ba lasi Sampaguita”

– The second stanza of popular band Sandwich‘s throwback-inducing song “Betamax” [2008]. Music video directed by Nico Puertollano.

“Nagreklamo si Chickoy Pura…”

Chickoy Pura is the lead singer and guitar player for The Jerks. Despite having been formed in 1979, the Pinoy rock band only released their self-titled album in the late 90s with the single “Reklamo Ng Reklamo” [1997].

“Sa balita ng ASIN…”

The legacy of folk-rock band ASIN and their song “Balita” [1979] can be heard as the Tagalog chorus of The Black Eyed Peas‘ “The Apl Song“ [2003].

“Ang anak ni ka Freddie…”

Filipino folk singer Freddie Aguilar‘s 1978 song “Anak” generated a hundred covers and was released in over 50 countries and in 27 different foreign languages. A movie with the same title was released in 2000 with a plot inspired by the lyrics of the song.

“Kinontra ni Edru Abraham…”

This line from the song is a wordplay of the ethnic music and dance ensemble Edru Abraham At Ang KONTempoRAryong GAmelan PIlipino (Kontra-GaPi) formed in 1989. The gamelan has produced an album in 1997 “Gong At Ritmo, Lunggating Pilipino” with one of the tracks titled “Ang Pilipinas Sa Timog Silangang Asya”.

“Dumoo bidoo ang APO Hiking…”

Before Kamikazee‘s fun and wild take of “Doo Bidoo” in 2006, the APO Hiking Society originally recorded the OPM song in 1980.

“Mga kababayan ni Francis M…”

Pinoy hip-hop pioneer Francis Magalona (or known by the moniker Francis M) sings his advice for the people in the Philippines on “Mga Kababayan” [1990].

“Beh, buti nga sa Hotdog…”

“Beh, Buti Nga” [1981] by the disco band Hotdog is about getting even with a past crush who never knew you existed.

“Nosi ba lasi Sampaguita…”

Sampaguita‘s “Nosi Ba Lasi” [1989] is a street phrase “sino ba sila” which translates to “who are they“.

Meron Lang Betamax (Verse 1: Mula Sa Himig Ni Pepe Smith)

This is a spinoff to the previous article on Jingle Magazine and Betamax.

“Mula sa himig ni Pepe Smith, nag blues si Wally Gonzales
Lumaki sa layaw ni Mike Hanopol. Bumalik ang kuwago ni Bosyo
Kumusta mula sa Maria Cafra. Umistambay si Heber
Sa bahay ni Gary Granada nagbago ang lumad ni Joey Ayala”

– The first verse of Filipino rock band Sandwich‘s single “Betamax” [2008] from their fifth studio album “S Marks The Spot”.

The song is a tribute to the influences and the early days of Pinoy punk rock music. Let’s break down every line of the song and make a playlist out of it.

“Mula sa himig ni Pepe Smith…”

The first verse starts with a celebration of the melody of “Himig Natin” [1973] from the ‘King of Pinoy Rock and Roll’ Pepe Smith and his Juan Dela Cruz Band.

“Nag blues si Wally Gonzales…”

Wally Gonzales (the quiet Juan Dela Cruz band member) and his instrumental classic “Wally’s Blues” [1978].

“Lumaki sa layaw ni Mike Hanopol…”

We shout the chorus “laki sa layaw, laki sa layaw, jeproks” when we were kids. It is from another member of Juan Dela Cruz Band Mike Hanopol‘s trademark and favorite song “Laki Sa Layaw” [1977].

“Bumalik ang kuwago ni Bosyo…”

From a pioneering Pinoy rock band to another pioneering Pinoy rock band Anak Bayan (a band formed by Edmond Fortuno a.k.a. “Bosyo”) and their progressive song “Pagbabalik Ng Kuwago” [1978].

“Kumusta mula sa Maria Cafra…”

Rock band from Olongapo City Maria Cafra says how are we in “Kumusta Mga Kaibigan” [1978].

“Umistambay si Heber…”

“Istambay” [1979] from Filipino folk rock Banyuhay Ni Heber Bartolome.

“Sa bahay ni Gary Granada…”

Gary Granada‘s “Bahay” [1988] tackles the life of impoverished taga-ilog Filipinos.

“Nagbago ang lumad ni Joey Ayala…”

Some of the lines of the “Betamax” are puns of band names. One of which is “nagbago ang lumad ni Joey Ayala“ that refers to the folk band Joey Ayala At Ang Bagong Lumad (lumad means ‘native’). Here’s one of Ayala‘s popular single “Karaniwang Tao” [1990]:
