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 
1991 - Live For Loving You
1994 - Everlasting Love
1996 - (You'll Be Mine) Party Time
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.

#3 - Madonna - I'm A Sinner (NEW)

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.

#4 - Madonna - I Fucked Up (NEW)

#5 - Madonna - Gang Bang (NEW)

#6 - Madonna - Girl Gone Wild (NEW)

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

#8 - Swedish House Mafia - One (RE)

This song was a top 10 song from early last year after Usher and Swedish House Mafia performed this in the American Music Awards.  This week, due again to its inclusion in the latest Body Jam release, it reenters at #8. 

#9 - fun. - Some Nights (9)

#10 - Chris Cornell - The Keeper (10)

Gloria Estefan's Glorious 'Wepa'

I actually did not know that Gloria Estefan had released new material last year, so thanks to Body Jam 60, I discovered that one of the tracks being played in that new release, 'Wepa', is from that new album, Little Miss Havana, which she released late last year.  Incredibly, the energy from this song is reminiscent of her classic work in Latin music and the song has become one of the most played tracks in my Ipod these past few days. It's great to see Miss Estefan still do topnotch music up to now!

Songs in a Foreign Language that Have Hit #1: Gloria Estefan - Cuba Libre

In 1998, Gloria Estefan released this continuous dance album entitled 'Gloria' and I remember buying the CD and enjoying its songs very very much.  In that same year, one of the songs from that album, Cuba Libre, became Gloria's first non-English #1 song in My Personal Weekly Top 10 Favorite Songs.  The title of the song alone is a clear giveaway of what the song is all about.  It's a fantastic dance song in the tradition of Gloria's rich Latin sound!
