I’m back! One
year and 25 days later (or 3 posts later, really, just 3 posts? Damn Kelvz! Write
more!) I’m back with the 2014 edition of the Top Beats!
Now just like last
year, the following are my top 20
most played songs for 2014. Remember that it is not a "best songs of 2014" list. So I
grabbed my phone and looked at the top played tracks. 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. Last
year the list was dominated by OPM songs, as 14 of the 20 entries were from
local artists. Will we see yet another OPM domination? Let's begin!
Let’s start
this on a happy note! Happy by Pharrell Williams makes it to the list as our
number 20 song. Thanks to the Minions and Despicable Me 2 for introducing me to
this song. And doesn’t it really make you the bit more happy by just listening
to it?
LSS Line: “Clap along if you feel like happiness is the
truth”
Taylor Swift!
Two for two so far for foreign artists. While Shake It Off is not the usual
Taylor Swift song (i.e. songs that are full of “hugot”), I like Shake It Off
because it is an upbeat song. I suspect that the reason that it is here is
because we used Shake It Off as one of the songs in our team’s performance during
last year’s company year-end party.
LSS Line: “That's
what people say mmm, that's what people say mmm..”
Most of your
probably are not familiar with this song, but our first OPM song is brought to
you by the band Paramita. Kung ang Shake
It Off ay walang hugot, ang Takipsilim ay puro hugot! This most likely is
the least known of all the songs in this list, so I advise you to check it out.
LSS Line: “Aaminin
ko na ang buhay ko, ay walang kulay kung 'di dahil sa 'yo”
OPM makes it
two in a row with a Sugarfree song! It’s been years since Sugarfree disbanded,
and while Ebe is still active in the industry (and isn’t shying away from
performing Sugarfree songs), but their songs still feel like they were just
released yesterday. Prom is their de-facto concert opener. Most probably would
also be their opening song in a reunion concert in the future.
LSS Line: “Parang atin ang gabi, para bang wala tayong katabi..”
Tabi as performed by Paraluman with Kean of Callalily is one of those songs that manage to always enter whatever playlist I create. It’s a simple yet beautiful song. How I wish one day I could sing this song with someone who is by my side. (Yiii!)
LSS Line: “Naranasan mo na bang madapa at masugatan?”
Entries 15th onwards after the jump!
