A Christmas Song Tops My OPM Countdown This Christmas Week


It is not unusual for a Christmas song to top My OPM Top 10 countdown and it has happened several times over the course of the four decades of my countdown.

In 1986, Gary Valenciano topped my OPM countdown with the classic, "Pasko Na Sinta Ko", and the year after the diva Kuh Ledesma, put "Nakaraang Pasko" at #1.  

Then in 1990, Jose Mari Chan released the classic Christmas i nour Hearts album, which placed two songs at #1, the title track of the album and "A Wish for Christmas Night"

Then in 1993, Ariel Rivera's "Sana Ngayong Pasko" went to #1.  

Then in 2014, Joey Albert's "Kumukutikutitap"became the last Christmas song to top my countdown.

Till this week, when ABS-CBN released their Christmas station ID, a pretty catchy Christmas tune, sung by 38 of their talents.  It tops My OPM Top 10 countdown this week.

Here are my ten favorite OPM songs for the week ending December 22, 2017 -

A Broadway Song from A Tony-Winning Play is My #1 Song for 2017


It is not uncommon for me to choose a Broadway song as my favorite song for the year.  In 1997, "Seasons of Love" was my #1 favorite song for that year, in 2003, Hairspray's "You Can't Stop the Beat" figured prominently in my year end list and in 2005, Wicked's "Defying Gravity" beat out all the popular songs for that year.

It happens again in 2017, as "For Forever" from the Tony-winning play, Dear Evan Hansen, is my #1 song for the year.

Here are my ten favorite songs for 2017 -

#1 For Forever
      Cast of Dear Evan Hansen

#2 Touch
       Little Mix

#3 Valentine
       Belinda Carlisle

#4 This Girl
      Kungs vs. 3 Cookin' Burners

#5 You Will Be Found
