Prediction: Billboard Yearend Chart 2009

Billboard's chart year ends on this week's chart (with issue date of 11.28.09) and with that, I'll share my prediction on what songs would likely make the top 10 of 2009. For those who don't know, Billboard's chart starts with December of the outgoing year until November of the incoming year. Why? It's more of a publication issue since Billboard needs to release the year-end edition of the magazine on December so that's why they need the extra time to produce therefore the early cutoff. Anyway, here goes my prediction:

Wildcards to make it to the top 10: Taylor's You Belong With Me, All American Reject
's Gives You Hell and Kings of Leon's Use Somebody

10. I'm Yours - Jason Mraz



I know this song was so 2008 but this year it made a record breaking 79 weeks on the chart and it was present 90% of the chart year and despite not even reaching the top 5, I'm sure this song will land in the year-end top 10. I may be underestimating this song in my prediction and it could even chart higher in the year-end chart.

9. Heartless - Kanye West


This song debuted at #4 and peaked at #2, it stayed on the Hot 100 for 30 weeks and also spawned several covers for this song.

8. Live Your Life - T.I feat Rihanna



This is another 2008 hit but given the chart year, the song performed well on the start of the chart year and with download sales of 3 million plus and heavy airplay, I will be not surprised if this song would appear on the top 10

7. Love Story - Taylor Swift


This pop crossover breakout single from Taylor Swift became the best selling country song in the digital era and also received heavy airplay. It stayed on the charts for 49 weeks and peaked at #4

6. Right Round - Flo Rida



Last year Flo Rida topped the 2008 year-end chart with Low and this year he will make another appearance on the year-end although not as successful as Low but still a big hit. This song set the record for the highest first week digital sales with 600+ thousand and topped the Hot 100 for 6 weeks

5. Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It) - Beyonce


This iconic song from Beyonce also started its chart life on the tail end of 2008 but reached #1 at the start of chart year. It spent 27 weeks on the chart, 4 weeks at #1 and with digital sales of about 3 million

4. I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas



Black Eyed Peas dominated the Hot 100 this year as it ruled for 26 consecutive weeks at #1 and 14 weeks of which was for this song. It debuted at #2 and spent 22 weeks on the chart to date. Given the amazing performance of this song, I could have rank this song higher but the next three songs debuted earlier and had massive sales and airplay plus longevity.

Looking at the statistics for Top 3 songs we could tell that any of the three songs could top the year-end chart. My basis of ranking the three songs is base purely on gut feeling because it is really anybody's game which makes the chart exciting.

3. Poker Face - Lady GaGa

The Inevitable 'How Time Flies'

I'm now on my 5th month on my 3rd job and I'm doing good so far. My contract is until December 31 and next year I will find out if I will be a regular employee already. I'm confident to say I have a good shot of being a regular employee, I'm never late, I submit my scripts on time and as for the quality of work, it's above average base from the feedback I've received, there is still room for improvement but its not disastrous. I'm happy to say I found my groove on this job, something I did not find on my first two jobs. If I will be a regular employee, I believe this will be a steady job for me. So crossing my fingers. Writing scripts for dubbing is something I really enjoy. Yes, I still have my ultimate career goals but I got to start somewhere and this is a good starting point.

***

My nephew is growing so fast and I love seeing him grow. I babysit on Sundays and it's hard job, it's physically exhausting but fulfilling especially whenever I see him laugh and smile. I'm glad he is a healthy boy unlike me when I was his age.

***

2009 is almost coming to an end and it was very challenging year for me, it started really difficult but at least I'm fairly happy now. I'm still a bit amazed how time flies, this decade is about to wrap up! I'm an adult now! Everything is changing. It's scary I admit, sometimes I still wish I was a student, looking back, despite the school stress, life is more simpler back then. As a 22 year old working person now, I'm already thinking about the future unlike before that there is a definite end in every school year, all your hardship for a school year will be culminated in a few months time. Now, it's so different. I'm already thinking of how my life should by the time I'm 25. But I'm taking one step at a time, no need to freak out this early. Just have the faith that everything will be fine as long as you have a goal.

Good luck to me!

Thank You Sir R.S

" Sir RS passed away on NOV 1 at about 2:30pm .. his remains will be available for viewing from NOV 4, 8am to NOV 6 8am at St. Peter's chapel-Genesis 3rd floor.(in bet pegasus & mitsubishi). Cremation will follow after d 7am mass on NOV6.."

I received this text message earlier today and I was shocked.Dr. Ricardo Santiagpo fondly called as Sir RS passed away. Sir RS was my professor in Ethics in college and he is a great professor. He has the reputation of being a terror prof, well he actually he is, but he is not the type of terror prof that does it to scare students or to impose authority. He is scary but you will really respect his teaching skills and wisdom. He does it for a reason. His teaching method is not conventional. His classes are not strictly mandated by syllabus and such but what he believes we should learn on our pace. He is the type of professor that you will have fun listening to. Yes, he joke a lot but underneath the jokes you'll discover the wisdom on it.

I feel privileged to be one of his students and he is surely a great loss at DLSU-D. Wherever you are Sir RS THANK YOU!

Fireflies is #1

Owl City's 'Fireflies" zoomed from #7 to #1 this week on Billboard's Hot 100! I'm so thrilled that this song hit #1, when I first heard this song I knew it has a chance to be a big mainstream hit but I never thought that it would be a #1 single in the U.S
It is just refreshing to see a different #1. I just got used to the typical songs that tops Billboard Hot 100 , you know the R&B/Rhythmic songs but Owl City defied the odds. The #1 victory was made possible due to the song selling 190+ thousand downloads this week . Very impressive. This is the most surprising #1 for me since Hey There Delilah by Plain White Ts in 2007. By "suprising", I mean a type of song that is a long shot top the Hot 100 mainly because of its genre and coming from a relatively unknown artist.
By the way, Owl City is not band but just one guy, kinda like Nine Inch Nails and Secondhand Serenade. It was love at first hear for this song, I just like the vibe this song exudes. And the Philippines, well at least Mega Manila which I'm exposed to, is also loving this song as it has been topping several radio music charts.

The Top 10 Sites in the Philippines

This list is courtesy of Alexa: The Web Information Company. The last time I check this list around July of this year, Friendster was still #1 site, now three months after the tides have turned and I'm not surprised with the results. I saw this coming. Anyway here is the Top 10 as of writing this entry.

1. Facebook
2. Yahoo
3. Google Philippines
4. Friendster
5. YouTube
6. Google
7. Blogger
8. Wikipedia
9. Multiply
10. Zynga

Around June this year I knew that over time Facebook will eclipse Friendster as the country's top social networking site and over all website as well. I had my Facebook account on November 2007 but it was more of flash in the pan for me. I enjoyed the games, the superpoke thing, the virtual pet etc but eventually my account was inactive because I have view friends there. This year my account was rejuvenated when my e-mail was suddenly flooded with several friend requests! Then Facebook had a makeover, it had chats, quizzes and more games. Then came Restaurant City, Mafia Wars, Farmville etc I then knew Facebook is going to be so popular. Actually, I didn't play any of those popular applications because it requires full attention haha and when I'm online I surf a lot of websites haha. My feed now is overflowing with updates haha. Well, some are already complaining because the site is becoming "jologs na daw". I just laughed at those comments, I find it snobbish. Although, I do understand that when you have contacts flooding your feed with quizzes, application invites etc but there is an option to not see those updates anyway. One downside of the sudden rise of FB is the site is becoming slow already.

With the rise of Facebook, former popular social networking sites Friendster and Multiply have been abandoned by a lot of their former users, some even deleting their account/s. I for one rarely visits those sites anymore because there's nary a people there anymore so there is few to read but I have no plans of deleting my accounts. What for? They may be inactive but those sites contained a lot of memories from me. I had some heartwarming testimonials on my Friendster and lots of memorable blog entries and photo albums on Multiply. Those sites are good time capsules and who knows maybe those sites could find a way to revitalize their sites and people will again flock to their sites.

Back to the list, technically #3 and #6 is basically the same it is just that when you type Google.com it will automatically go to Google PH. For what is worth, I think if we combine the hits of both sites they would be the #1.

The #10 website is connected to Facebook as it is the home of many popular games on FB. . Close to the top 10 are Twitter at #11 and Wordpress at #12. The top news/media website is Inquirer at #22 followed by GMA News at #28. No surprise there since both came from inq7.com the former popular media website .

My Space is #37, Plurk is #40, LiveJournal at #41 and Tumblr at #73. Tumblr is a rising website, I predict it will reach the top 40 soon. Lastly, my favorite online forum Pinoyexchange is #66.
