Gloria Estefan Tops My Personal Countdown List for the Eleventh Time with Wepa

Here are my favorite songs for the week ending April 27, 2012.

#1 Gloria Estefan - Wepa (NEW)

Gloria Estefan is back on top of MyFABEMusic's Weekly Top 10, due mainly to this song's inclusion in the latest release of the Les Mills Program, Body Jam 60.  This is already her eleventh #1 song in my personal Top 10, which stretches way back to 1985 with Conga.  Here's a list of her songs which became my personal #1's -

1985 - Conga
1988 - 1-2-3
1989 - Get On Your Feet
1991 - Coming Out of the Dark
1991 - Nayib's Song

1998 - Cuba Libre
1999 - Music of the Heart (with N 'Sync)

This week, the first single from her album Little Miss Havana, Wepa, goes to #1 in my personal countdown.  This was due mainly to the song being present in the latest release of Body Jam 60, which is one of my favorite exercises.

#2 - Beyonce - Love on Top (RE)

This song was the first number one song in my personal countdown taken from Beyonce's '4' album.  It went to #1 end of last year.  The album eventually produced two more number one songs this year (End of Time and I Miss You).  Due again to its inclusion in the latest release of Body Jam, it reenters my personal list at #2 this week.

MDNA was release a few weeks back and this week, five songs from the album crashes into my personal countdown.  The highest charting song is I'm A Sinner, which comes in at #3.

#7 - Madonna - Turn Up the Radio (NEW)

My Pick for the Golden Globe Best Original Song Award

Well, I have presented to you the five nominees for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song - and my pick, if I could vote that is, would be Chris Cornell's The Keeper, from the movie, Machine Gun Preacher. I just love the guitar work he does here, and he sounds so self-assured!

Chris Cornell's The Keeper (Machine Gun Preacher): Golden Globes 2012 Best Original Song Nominee

I am always intrigued at how cool the Golden Globes chooses its nominees! The fourth nominee is Chris Cornell from Soundgarden and he has this fantastic song from the movie Machine Gun Preacher. I think this is also his first Golden Globe nomination. It is also vintage Chris!
