Kris Lawrence Finally Tops My OPM Countdown

Kris Lawrence finally tops my OPM countdown this week, as Torpe, moves to the top spot.  I haven't really followed much of Kris' career, although I had seen him perform in a musical a few years back.  I do hope he comes out with a full album soon, because is Torpe is the vibe and the type of music he's currently working on now, he's on to something good!

James Reid and Nadine Ilustre: Pop Music's Hitmaking Love Team

James Reid and Nadine Ilustre get their second #1 song this week, as Bahala Na moves to the top of my OPM countdown. This song is from their latest movie, Talk Back and You're Dead.

Kyla Posts Two #1 Songs Within an 8-Week Period

That Kyla is able to have two #1 songs (Salbabida and Dito Na Lang) within a span of 8 weeks contrasts starkly to her being absent from my OPM countdown for a decade - until this year! I have shied away from her music for so long because she has depended so much on covers, and although I like some covers from local artists, well, only once in a blue moon while, those versions very rarely enters my OPM countdown, as I prefer original composed music.

Well, I am definitely going to buy Kyla's latest album to check if she still has some more gems there.  Another one of her songs, Kunwa-Kunwari Lang is also climbing my OPM countdown.

Dito Na Lang tops my OPM countdown this week.

Nadine Ilustre Becomes First Artist To Have Three #1 Songs in 2014

Nadine Ilustre becomes the first artist this year to get three #1 songs in my OPM countdown.  Earlier this year, she was one-half of the love team she has with James Reid, that brought the #1 hits, No Erase and Bahala Na, two songs from two box-office films she was in, as well. 

This week, her song, Para-Paraan finds its way to #1 in my OPM countdown.
