#3 Beyonce - Mine (NEW)





The song that debuts the highest this week comes from Beyonce.  We danced to this song in my GForce class under Ishii and since I love the choreography so much, the song has just exploded in my personal countdown.

#2 John Legend - All of Me (RE)

John Legend's latest hit, All of Me, stays at #2 for another week.  We danced to this song in Ram's G-Force open class, that's why it has reentered again here at a very high place.  

#1 Beyonce - Partition (RE) 

Beyonce's Partition was used during my brother's fashion show at SM North EDSA Skydome, and it's one of my most favorite songs from Beyonce's latest album.  It becomes her 21st #1 song and the third straight #1 song from her latest album.
