♬ As It Was – Harry Styles

View in YouTube | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

10. Glimpse Of Us – Joji
A piano ballad by the artist formerly known as Filthy Frank.

9. Sunroof – Nicky Youre & dazy
Something we can listen to while having a 6AM morning drive.

8. Angel Baby – Troye Sivan
At first, I thought this is something the British boyband Westlife would sing. But the chorus has the same tune as the Backstreet Boy‘s 2001 single “Drowning.”

7. About Damn Time – Lizzo
Probably the best bop that went viral on TikTok in 2022.

6. sun and moon – anees
The official anthem of the satirical and parodic Facebook page International State College of the Philippines (ISCP).

5. abcdefu – GAYLE [Top Pick: January 2022]
Fun chorus to sing along to.

4. Pano – Zack Tabudlo [Top Pick: December 2022]
Perhaps the biggest Filipino song in 2022. The alternative pop hit is the first song to top Billboard’s Hits of the World Chart in the Philippines.

3. Asan Ka Na Ba – Zack Tabudlo
Sucks this song was not sung when Zack went to Cebu for the Aurora Music Fest last November 2022.

2. Pagsamo – Arthur Nery [Top Pick: Philippine Song & March 2022]
I blame that viral TikTok mashup of Pagsamo and Marian Rivera‘s 2009 dance hit “Sabay Sabay Tayo” for making this song stuck in our heads for months!

1. As It Was – Harry Styles [Top Pick: April 2022 | Billboard Global 200: Year End 2022 #1 | Official Singles Chart: End of Year 2022 #1]
The former One Direction member’s synth-pop hit is so big we heard it everywhere in 2022!

Listen to the songs as good as the greatest hits of the year 2022! #twentytwentytoo #songsoftheyear #abcdeforyou

  1. Levitating – Dua Lipa ft. DaBaby (May 2021 Top Pick)
    This song was inescapable last summer. Probably the only song on TikTok that spawned multiple trends.
  1. Butter – BTS
    McDonald’s 10-piece Chicken McNuggets with cajun and sweet chili sauces, a medium-sized Coca-Cola, and medium fries made me want to listen to this song.
  1. good 4 u – Olivia Rodrigo (June 2021 Top Pick)
    Olivia Rodrigo acknowledged it: The pop-rock chart-topper sounds like Paramore‘s “Misery Business.”
  1. HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY – GIVĒON
    Again: This is not a romantic song! Just because couples are dancing to this on the TikTok app doesn’t mean the meaning has changed. LOL.
  1. Solar Power – Lorde
    Maybe because I’m into summer-sounding songs, I enjoy this comeback single from Lorde. (That outro feels like sunshine!)
  1. deja vu – Olivia Rodrigo
    Upon first hearing Olivia’s second single, I knew she wasn’t gonna be our typical pop star. This follow-up to her successful debut (also part of the top 5!) sounds like an indie rock jam.
  1. Kiss Me More – Doja Cat ft. SZA
    Doja’s lead single from her Grammy nominated album “Planet Her“ was one of the most infectious pop songs last year.
  1. Heat Waves – Glass Animals
    I first heard this track back in August 2020. I’m biased and started to love this song when it went to the top of the Australian radio station triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2020 announced in January of last year.
  1. Leave The Door Open – Silk Sonic (April 2021 Top Pick)
    The charisma of the American R&B super-duo Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak radiates no matter how many times they perform this song.
  1. drivers license – Olivia Rodrigo (February 2021 Top Pick)
    How a debut single became an instant commercial success blows my mind. The dreamy bridge (“I still f*g love you”) is one of the greatest, most beautiful moments I’ve heard for a pop song in a while.

2021 Picks (So Far)

Go with the flow while swaying our feet to my song picks so far this year 2021. Like last year, most of the songs here were influenced by the video-sharing app TikTok.

Top 3 Songs of June 2021:
3. “Running Away” – VANO 3000, BADBADNOTGOOD & Samuel T. Herring
I cannot get enough of the viral TikTok trend with a BADBADNOTGOOD looped sample that pays tribute to the bumpers of Cartoon Network’s late-night programming block [adult swim].

2. “Butter” – BTS
I will always associate this song with the 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, medium French Fries, medium Coke, and the Sweet Chili and Cajun dipping sauces or the McDonald’s BTS Meal.

1. “good 4 u” – Olivia Rodrigo
Everyone familiar with Paramore can also hear some similarities to the American rock band’s 2007 breakthrough single “Misery Business”.

Intermission: Simulang i-angat ang bandera sa mga kantang OPM tampok ang SB19, Shanti Dope, James Reid, Angela Ken, Zack Tabudlo, at ang “Pajama Party (Cypher 1)” ng 1096 Gang ft. Guddhist, Youngwise, Polo Pi, Ghetto Gecko & Luci J. I-follow lang ang Spinnin’ Rabbit sa Spotify at pakinggan Pasok Sa Tunog playlist.

Top 3 Songs of the Year 2021 so far:
3. “Leave The Door Open” – Silk Sonic
Grammy Award-winning American-Filipino singer-songwriter Bruno Mars joined forces with fellow Grammy Award-winning American singer Anderson .Paak for an R&B superduo Silk City.

2. “HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY” – GIVĒON
I’m as confused as anyone thinking why lovers use this sleeper hit as a celebration of their relationship. LOL

1. “drivers license” – Olivia Rodrigo
The best part of the song would probably be the dreamy bridge. I don’t remember any recent song whose bridge as rich as the catchphrase “I still fuckin’ love you”.

Top 3 Throwback Songs:
3. “Booty Wurk (One Cheek At A Time)” – T-Pain ft. Joey Galaxy [2011]
I guess everyone on Philippine TikTok tried Niana Guerrero’s breath-catching choreography.

2. “Rasputin” – Boney M. [1978]
“Russia’s greatest love machine” himself Grigori Rasputin inspired the German group Boney M. with this viral TikTok Euro-disco hit.

1. “The Luck You Got” – The High Strung [2005]
Glad I watched all 11 seasons of the American TV series Shameless a few months before the series finale last April. The show is fantastic. Each main character’s journey is well-written especially Emmy Rossum’s role Fiona. (That one’s the GOAT!) Plus they feature indie rock songs for their soundtrack.

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“.
