Hillsong United's 'Oceans' Tops the FABE Weekly Top 10 Countdown

Due to their two sold out shows here in Manila last week, the contemporary Christian group Hillsong United tops the FABE Weekly Top 10 countdown.  It's their first song to top my personal countdown - and they join a distinguished list of contemporary Christian acts who have topped my personal countdown since the 80s - Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Kathy Troccoli, Jars of Clay and Switchfoot.

Since Vertical Horizon swept all the ten spots in my personal countdown last week, five songs reentered the top 10, with the Hillsong United song, Oceans as the only new entry.

Here are my ten favorite songs for the week ending June 13, 2014 -

#10 James Blunt - Face the Sun (RE)




James Blunt's Face the Sun reenters my personal countdown this week at #10.  The song has already peaked at #7.  It's James second top 10 hit from his latest album, Moon Landing.  Bonfire Heart peaked at #5 earlier this year.  This is his eleventh top 10 song in my personal countdown.

#9 Kylie Minogue - Into the Blue (RE)




Kylie Minogue's 23rd top 10 hit in my personal countdown, Into the Blue, reenters this week at #9.  It's her first top 10 hit from her latest album Kiss Me Once.  The song has already peaked at #6.

#8 Vertical Horizon - South for the Winter (#6)




Vertical Horizon has four songs in my personal countdown this week - holdovers from last week's complete top 10 sweep. Coming in at #8 is South for the Winter.  The song has already peaked at #6.

#7 Vertical Horizon - A Song For Someone (#4)




Another Vertical Horizon song stays at #7.  A Song for Someone has already peaked at #4.  The band performed this song during their concert here at the Newport Theatre.


#6 Katy Perry - Birthday (RE)


Katy Perry's Birthday reenters this week's countdown at #6. The song has already peaked at #3. It's also her 16th top 10 hit in my personal countdown.

#5 Vertical Horizon - Consolation

Coming in at #5 is another song from Vertical Horizon, Consolation.  The song has peaked at #2.  

#4 Vertical Horizon - Frost (#2)

The fourth song from Vertical Horizon comes in at #4.  All four songs come from their latest album Echoes from the Undergroun.  Frost has already peaked at #2.

#3 John Legend - All of Me (RE)

John Legend's latest hit, All of Me, reenters at #2.  We danced to this song in Ram's G-Force open class, that's why it has reentered here at a very high place.  

#2 Beyonce - Partition (RE) Beyonce's Partition was used during my brother's fashion show at SM North EDSA Skydome, that's why it has again, reentered at a very high place.


#1 Hillsong United - Oceans (NEW)
