OPC Pop 40 of 2013

Avril Lavigne has done a repeat of 2011 here at OPC as she once again rules at #1 on our latest year-end tally. Like two years ago, she also had three songs in the Top 20, but this time it's an even better finish as she manages to occupy the top two slots. With the singles taken off her eponymous studio album, she thrives especially with the help of husband Chad Kroeger of Nickelback. Here are the king and queen of the 2013 Year-End Pop 40 chart with their collaboration called "Let Me Go."

OPC Praise 40 of 2013

2013 is the year of the Newsboys as they take two of the top three spots in OPC's Year-End Praise 40 chart. Their single "Your Love Never Fails" rules the tally after also taking the #1 spot in the OPC10 in last year's first quarter. However, I would like to deviate from featuring the top entry in the year-end list and instead give you a song occupying #30. While this song didn't make it to the weeklies (OPC10 follows a certain formula which prevented the track from charting), it has such a powerful declaration of saying goodbye to regret, defeat and lies, and saying hello to salvation, transformation, freedom and the One True King's amazing grace. Here's Matthew West with "Hello, My Name Is":

OPC Top 10 Pinoy Songs of 2013

Happy new year, everyone! Here at OPC, we welcome 2014 by looking back at the past year's top hits, starting off with the Top 10 Pinoy Songs of 2013. Half of those which made it came from songwriting competitions (three from Himig Handog P-Pop Love Songs and one each from Vispop and Philpop), and after going missing in the previous year-ender, Yeng Constantino returns with a vengeance, occupying three spots in this edition. Meanwhile, Quest continues his dominance which he started in the 2012 yearend chart as he went to #1 with "Sige Lang." Now, he's still on top with another positive song of encouragement, this time giving a salute to everyday Filipino heroes. Here's his exclusive performance of "Saludo" on Radio Republic:
