Pinoy Bandwagon

for this month, it was ….

1. 241 - Rivermaya

it was number one for a second time on the second week of this month…

2. Trip - 6cyclemind

the second number one for the band after Sandalan (which was #1 for 5 weeks), it topped the PB20 on June’s 3rd week… their Ultraelectromagneticjam contribution, Alapaap, went up to #3, while their second single, I, made it to # 2… it was overshadowed by the very strong performance of…

3. Narda - Kamikazee

this song tasted the top once more on the 1st week of June… no doubt, a song of the year contender…

4. Pwede Ba - Soapdish

the second #1 (this 4th week of June) for the band after Ewan Ko…  their second single, Tensionado, got as high as #2…

Astig!

Bamboo scored another milestone in their short, yet already illustrious, career by bagging five (!), as in 5 awards, in the recently concluded AWIT Awards.

They got Song Of The Year for Hallelujah, which also got the Best Rock Recording… they shared the Best Ballad Recording for Much Has Been Said… their Light.Peace.Love. won Album Of The Year… Best Performance by A Group was theirs also for Hallelujah.

Rivermaya got lucky, too, that night when they got Best Music Video and Best Song Written for Movie/TV/Stage for You’ll Be Safe Here.

Other band winners include:

• Best Performance by New Group: Pupil (Nasaan Ka)
• Best Perfromance by A Female Artist: Barbie Almalbis (Just A Smile)
• Best Ballad Recording: Hale (The Day You Said Goodnight)
• Best Alternative Recording: Itchyworms (Akin Ka Na Lang)
• Best R&B Recording: South Border (Asa)
• Best Rap Recording: Dice & K9 (6 in Da Morning)

Earlier, the designers of Paramita’s album Tala won Best Album Package, while Angee Rozul won for Francis M.’s Superproxy 2K6 the Best Engineered Recording.

Astig talaga!!!

Comments:

why is it that each time CUESHE wins in an award body, Yasmien Kurdi wins, too? (i’m trying to be funny and sarcastic here….  (",)  )

why is it that each time Rivermaya wins an award recently, the song 241 goes on top of the PB20….  (",)  )
