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.

My Top 5 New US Shows

The past month I've been checking out the new US TV shows and I must say there is a lot of good new shows there just like the 2007-2008 TV season. Hopefully this time a lot will be successful and will stay on air for a long time. Anyway, here are my Top 5 favorite new shows:

5. Cougar Town



The show's title is tongue-in-cheek and the show's is a bit tacky but I still find it hilarious. Courtney Cox is a hoot on this show and I love the supporting cast. This is like the first season of Desperate Housewives minus the mystery. But the show is really polarizing, hate it or love it, and obviously I'm on the latter side. This is the type of the show that will definitely be part of your "Guilty Pleasure" list.

4. FlashForward



Touted as the next Lost, this show delivers well. The premise of a worldwide blackout is intriguing and so far the episodes have been successful on keeping the suspense of the story. I'm excited if they could really stop the future from happening or if they stop it would it have a consequence? I hope the shows keeps the quality of writing good all throughout the season.

3. Glee



Definitely, the most hyped new show of the season and is already receiving a backlash. Nevertheless, this one of the most captivating shows I've seen in recent years. The musical productions are well produced and the writing is tight, they already have a breakout character with Jane Lynch's Sue Sylvester bringing the laugh out loud moments every episode with her sarcasm and deadpan humor. Plus, the music numbers are so good that I wish I was still in school so I could joined a Glee club haha.

2. The Middle



This is a sitcom about a middle class family in the middle part of the US and the show captured how the life of an average family in the time of an economic recession. It has the laughs and the heart. You can't help but feel Frankie's stress but you would still feel delighted on the ways on how she and her family cope with their day-to-day struggle. Among my top 5 favorite new shows this is the lowest rated so hopefully it would pick up eventually because it will be a shame if will just have a short run.

1. Modern Family



This sitcom is truly wonderful. This mockumentary chronicles the lives of three different families which are all part of one big family, one is the traditional family with a mom, dad ,and 3 kids, the other is a May-December couple with a kid from the wife's previous marriage and the last one is a gay couple who recently adopted a baby girl. What I love about this sitcom is the cast, even if the show is just one month old you felt like you've watched these people for a long time already, there is warmth among the cast that they could throw in lines with each other at ease. Each episode is tightly written with a theme that will come in full circle as an episode closes. The mockumentary set up is just perfect because there are lot of cringe-worthy moments during the interviews. My favorite characters here are Ty Burrel's wannabee cool daddy Phil and Eric Stonestreet's flamboyant other half of the gay couple Cameron, thinking of some of their scenes makes me laugh already. So far the show has been doing well in the ratings so hopefully this show would stay on the air for years to come.

***

Other notables: The Good Wife is a solid courtroom drama with an interesting ongoing character drama as well, it fills the void left by Judging Amy. I like the premise of Community (which is about a community college) although I find the supporting cast weak but still enjoyable to watch. The Vampire Diaries is reminiscent of the late 90s/early 00s young adult fantasy dramas and if you like shows like Roswell and Buffy the Vampire Slayer you will like this one. And course if you are into Twilight and True Blood, this latest offshoot of the vampire pop culture fad is not a bad addition. There is room for improvement for Accidentally on Purpose but the lead characters have enough chemistry to make me watch every week and see how their unconventional relationship set-up will work out.

Spotlight: Michael Buble's 'Haven't Met You Yet'

I finally found the song that perfectly captured my view on that certain aspect of life. Just listen to the song below for you to understand what I mean (or read the lyrics also posted below but I recommend for you to listen to the song, it will give leave a smile in your face :D )






I'm Not Surprised
Not everything Lasts
I've Broken My Heart So Many Times,
I've Stopped Keepin Track.
Talk Myself In
I Talk Myself Out
I Get all worked up
Than I Let Myself Down.

I Tried So Very Hard Not To Lose It
I Came Up With A Million Excuses
I Thought I thought of Every Possibility

And I Know Someday That it'll All Turn up
You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid That I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

Mmmmm ....

I Might Have To Wait
I'll Never Give Up
I Guess It's half timing
And The Other half's luck
Wherever You Are
Whenever It's Right
You'll Come Out Of Nowhere And Into My Life

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Baby Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Possibility

hmmmmm ......

And Somehow I Know That it'll All Turn up
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

They Say All's fair
In Love And War
But I Won't Need To Fight it
?Get invited?
We'll Be United

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And girl Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Single Possibility

hmmm .....

And Someday I Know It'll All Turn Out
And I Work To Work It Up
Promise You Kid I Get More Than I Get
Than I Get Than I Get han I Get

Oh You Know That Will All Turn Up
And I will Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid To Give So Much More Than I Get
Yeah I Just Haven't Met You Yet

I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Oh Promise You Kid
To Give So Much More Than I Get

I Said Love Love Love Love Love Love Love .....
I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Love Love Love .....
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

Alphabet Song by India Arie and Sesame Street's Elmo

My one year old nephew loves this rendition of the alphabet song and I also like it. It really takes a true artist like India Arie to make the alphabet song sound so classy and elegant. If you have toddlers and babies at home, I suggest you to show this clip to them, I guarantee you this will grab their attention plus the soothing voice of India will stimulate their young minds. I show this video to my nephew almost every night and he never gets tired of listening to it. Sometimes, when he cries when he wakes up in the middle of his sleep, I just show him this video and it will calm him. There is something magical I guess with this renditon of the Alphabet song.

Chart Recap 63 (Philippine Music Charts)

Rundown of last week's music charts on various Metro Manila FM stations and Music Channels
(For last week's recap, go here) The following list of charts were gathered by The Philippine Music Charts Thread Team of PinoyExchange.com (visit the thread here)

Note: No charts from 101.9, Magic and Jam. I was not able to get the results for last week's Channel [V] chart. Will update this once I get the results

Update: Here's the e-mail I receive from Channel [V] Philippines when I inquired about the countdown results last week
Hi Jecoup,

We would like to inform you that our station had an unfortunate technical
problem last week due to the storm, that's why we were not able to air the
countdown, for that week. Fortunately, though BENTE-UNO will resume this
week with a fresh tally of your votes on the countdown.

Thanks.

My Favorite Commuting Song

Note: I'll post the Chart Recap tomorrow, just waiting for one chart update, hopefully I'll get it tomorrow. Thank you :D

Let me share to you my favorite commuting song haha. Well, I always hear this song whenever I radio surf while I'm commuting to and from work and I love hearing it. At first I don't know what's the title of this song and who sang it haha. Anyway, this was the first song I heard today on my way to work today and it actually made my day and been singing that song all day at work hahaha. There's something to the beat of this song that brightens up my mood despite the traffic I experience while commuting. This song was released 30 years ago! But it is only now that I appreciate this song a lot. Anyway, here it is my "commuting song" - YOU MAY BE RIGHT by BILLY JOEL -
♫ You may be right... I may be crazy...But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for ♫

Aftermath

I somehow felt the aftermath of Ondoy. Last week at work was not the usual, many were absent because of the effects of Ondoy and sadly the wife of a co-worker died. Commuting to work is a bit of a breeze because there is light traffic and I noticed that there were a few commuters than usual. I thank God that my family were not affected but I really felt bad for those who experienced the wrath of Ondoy. It was one big wake up call for us here in the Philippines. Another typhoon Pepeng "attacked" the northern part of the Philippines, thankfully it was not as disastrous as Ondoy but there are still people who died sadly.
I became so paranoid of the weather lately. During the week, even if it is only light rains, I feel nervous that it might happened. Thankfully it didn't.
But who knows when it will happen again? I hope we could do something before it's too late
