OPC Top 40 Songs of 2012

Happy new year, everyone! Before we go full-speed for 2013, let's first look back and recap the previous year in music with OPC's Top 40 Songs of 2012. Six Pinoy tracks make it to the overall list, eight artists return from the 2011 year-end chart, while one entry is a non-mover! The Top 3 maybe a unique selection, but these are the songs which had the most impact and significance on this side of the web. US pop/rock quintet We Are Leo ranked 7th in 2011, but this time, they improve and advance all the way to #1 with "Supernova Sunrise." Way to go, guys! And if you do happen to read this, does Andrew have Filipino blood? Hehe.
