Rewind: Top Beats for 2013

"Why do you listen to that crap?"

Thankfully, no one has ever asked me that. I listen to a lot and various music, so who's to say that I won't be on the receiving end of that question? Anyway, this post is not exactly about that. But it is about music.


2013 has just ended and we are now on the 2nd day of 2014. Then I wondered, what did I listen to the most the past year? So I grabbed my phone and looked at the top played tracks. It actually works very nicely because I just got my phone early 2013, so all of the play count accumulated is from 2013 only.

The following are my top 20 most played songs for 2013. Remember that it is not a "best songs of 2013" list. To not make this list a long one, I would just link you to a YouTube video of the entries for songs 20 to 11, but for entries 10 to 1, I'd post the video directly here. Let's begin!


20.) I Won't Give Up

Jason Mraz' I Won't Give Up sneaks in at number 20. I say sneak in because I could still clearly remember I just started listening to this song around October, effectively giving most of the other songs at least a half year head start. Then again, I probably shouldn't be surprised, as I Won't Give Up is definitely one of my favorite songs right now. It just seems to...fit. :)

19.) Crazy For You

As performed by New Found Glory, not by Spongecola, let's just get that out of the way to begin with. Not that I have anything against Spongecola mind you. This is a song that I can say I am actually surprised to be here. I don't really remember listening to this song that much at all, but eh, stranger things have happened.

18.) Makapiling Ka

Told you I have nothing against Spongecola. I do wonder if this is the only song by Spongecola that made the list. That being said, "Pagmulat, ikaw pa rin ang hinahanap sa umaga." I must say, this is one of the best Spongecola songs from their later albums.

17.) After All This Time

If there is one song that I would bet would reach the top 10 of this list, it would be After All This Time by the Itchyworms. I just absolutely love this song since the first time I heard them play it live when they launched the song during the Roots-UP Fair 2013. Lovely melody, marvelous lyrics (though I do not relate to it, if you're wondering about that). Seriously, give it a try. You'd love it. Plus, the music video is also great, to say the least.

16.) Wag Ka Nang Umiyak

Another one of those "I could have sworn this would be a top 10 song" songs, Wag Ka Nang Umiyak by Sugarfree is just one very beautiful and heartfelt song. Now this is a song that I would sing. While it may not have made my top 10 songs for 2013, I'm betting that this is a song that would constantly be among my most played songs for the foreseeable future. That's how much I love this song. And is it just me or do all great songs just have equally great music videos?


Entries 15th onwards after the jump!
