“To the left, to the left,” the most memorable line, the line which made a lot of people get an LSS (Last Song Syndrome) the night when Beyonce performed here in Manila. And yes, Ed was there too so I must be a witness. =)
Not only that. I also remember the day when my younger sister uttered this line: “ella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh.” It was kinda annoying at first and funny at the same time until I figured out that it has become really popular among children and adults as well.
So what do I wanna tell you now? No, it’s not all about the rivalry issue between Rihanna and Beyonce. It’s just that these two artists grabbed the top spots in the Top 100 Songs of 2007.
Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable” got the no.1 spot while Rihanna’s “Umbrella” got the second spot.
So here are the other songs which made it to the top 20:

Year 2007 has been a great year for a lot of artists and fans as well. Honestly, I got a lot of favorites from this list and almost all of the songs here got a place on my computer’s and phone’s playlist. No wonder since I always check out billboard.com for the hottest and newest songs. (Anyway, I’ve noticed that this year has been a year for American Idol finalists such as Robin Thicke, Eliott Yamin and Daughtry. So for next year, I think Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis will add to the list of successful AI finalists.)
Well, personally, for year 2007 my top picks (in no particular order) would be:
Lost Without U- Robin Thicke
How To Save A Life- The Fray
What Goes Around Comes Around- Justin Timberlake
Apologize – Timbaland Ft OneRepublic
Home- Daughtry
Thnks Fr Th Mmrs- FallOut Boy
Because Of You- Ne-Yo
No One- Alicia Keys
Lovestoned- Justin Timberlake
The Takeover, The Break’s Over- FallOut Boy
I apologize since this list does not cover OPM songs. I only got few favorite OPM songs this year but I believe I’m surely missing a lot of good songs from today’s local artists and bands. Maybe I should start checking out our local music channels and radio stations this new year or can you please suggest good OPM songs so that I can check them out and start listening to them? I’m sure I’m really missing a lot…
Lots of great songs in 2007, I must say. Although, “Hey there Delilah” was so overplayed, it lost its ingenuity by the time August rolled in.
Great post. Give me a visit too when you get a chance.
