‘You Changed My Life’ is 2009’s top OPM song

The success of the movie redounded to its theme song: “You Changed My Life In A Moment” is MYX's overall number one OPM song in 2009.

The Sarah Geronimo-hit dominated the Pinoy MYX Countdown for two weeks, and stayed in the charts for a total of 18 weeks, making it her fourth number one song to top the countdown in the past years.

It is recalled that her first-ever single, “Forever’s Not Enough,” also topped the charts in 2003, followed by “How Could You Say You Love Me?” in 2004.

Four years later, the multi-talented performer reigned in the Pinoy MYX Countdown with “A Very Special Love,” which was the theme of her first box-office film with John Lloyd Cruz.

Her other hit, “Dahil Minahal Mo Ako,” sits on the second half of the chart at number 11.. It stayed for three weeks at number one and for 13 weeks in the entire countdown.

“You Changed My Life” is also the highest-charting OPM single in the MYX Hit Chart Year-end Countdown at number six, trailing behind the smash tunes of Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, David Archuleta and Miley Cyrus.

While the MYX Hit Chart is foreign act-dominated, the Pinoy MYX Countdown is band-dominated. A total of eight OPM groups were declared to have had chart-magnetizing singles this year.

Hale, Sponge Cola, Pedicab and 6cyclemind each have two entries in the Top 20, while Chicosci, Hilera, Silent Sanctuary and Paraluman have one apiece.

“Antukin,” the third single off of former Rivermaya front man Rico Blanco’s first solo effort, is the highest entry from a male act at number three. Meanwhile, R&B Princess Kyla cemented two entries in the list namely her duet with R&B Prince Jay-R, “Back In Time,” and “Old Friend” at numbers two and 12, respectively.

Ely Buendia’s collaboration with the late Master Rapper, Francis Magalona, titled “Higante,” closes the countdown at number 20.
