Here are my ten favorite OPM songs for the week ending March 15, 2013 -

#1 Juris - Hanggang Wakas (#2)

Angeline Quinto Makes It Four #1 Songs from One Album

Angeline Quinto becomes the first local artist to get four #1 songs from one album.  Christian Bautista had three #1 songs in my OPM countdown from his exemplary Outbound album.  This week, Angeline does one better.  Kunin Mo Na Ang Lahat Sa Akin, Wag Mo Akong Iwang Mag-Isa, and Patuloy ang Pangarap, all went to #1.  This week, Pang-Habang Panahon makes it hit #4 to go all the way to #1.

Of course, she had the advantage of me listening to her CD, which is kinda difficult for me since I don't really have much time to listen to everyone's CD.  It's more of a luck of the draw thing.

Anyway, here are my ten favorite OPM songs for the week ending March 8, 2013 -

#1 Angeline Quinto - Pang-Habang Panahon (#2)

#2 Juris - Hanggang Wakas (#9) 

#3 Toni Gonzaga - Kahit Na (#1)

#10 Gloc-9 / Kamikazee - Kunwari (NEW)
