05 · JESSICA SANCHEZ f/ NE-YO, "Tonight" Debut Date: March 23, 2013 Weeks on Chart: 15 Weeks Peak Position: #01[3]
♫"You seem like every day is something else, another reason to be stressing, and you just wanna run away. Said you just wanna run away."♫
Shocking, undeserving, unknown -- probably some of the responses I predict regarding this track's placement. Jessica Sanchez delivered a very catchy and infectious debut single opposite Ne-Yo through "Tonight". Majority may think this track sounds generic, but for me it doesn't. It actually contains the elements of a very good pop material -- fun-to-sing-with hooks, powerhouse vocals and tuneful beats. Never really got hooked to it badly not until I noticed a friend of mine jamming to it so loud in the office. Ultimately this year's top of the flops! You guys need to give this one a try!
FLASHBACK 2012: ONE DIRECTION, "One Thing" 2011: KATY PERRY, "The One That Got Away" 2010: RIHANNA, "Only Girl (In The World)" 2009: KATY PERRY, "Thinking Of You"
In unrelated to your countdown I heard a spanglish version of this song. it was so so so awesome! If I find that version I will continue to listen to it

04 · BIRDY, "Skinny Love" Debut Date: February 2, 2013 Weeks on Chart: 14 Weeks Peak Position: #01[1]
♫"Come on skinny love just last the year. Pour a little salt you were never here. My my my, my my my, my-my my-my... Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer."♫
Another shocker? Isn't it fun to see not-so-big hits charting within the Top 10? Birdy released this Bon Iver cover last 2011 but Philippine radio only paid attention to it early 2013. As a big fan of piano ballads, this one caught my attention instantly. Birdy definitely give a very emotional, heartfelt, sincere, melancholic and suicidal take on this amazing masterpiece. It's too dramatic and I love it. And it's glad to see her record label re-releasing this track in the US. I hope it does well.
FLASHBACK 2012: KARMIN, "Brokenhearted" 2011: CHRISTINA PERRI, "A Thousand Years" 2010: KATHARINE MCPHEE f/ ZACHARY LEVI, "Terrified" 2009: LADY GAGA, "Bad Romance"
But excited for the top 4!
