Noel Cabangon’s Panaginip earns a grand slam

Noel Cabangon’s 2011 release Panaginip is undoubtedly the most awarded album of 2011 having been named Acoustic Album of the Year of the Star Awards for Music, the Secular Album of the Year of the Catholic Mass Media Awards, and the Album of the Year of the Awit Awards. This 3-peat-victory may well be considered a grand slam.

“This is totally unexpected, but I cherish these awards,” says Noel Cabangon, who remains to be one of the bestselling OPM acts of today. “I am humbled with these recognitions.”

Panaginip is the second album of Noel under Universal Records. The first was Byahe, which was also awarded the Awit Awards’ Album of the Year.

The album includes the hit title track and Ako’y Mabuting Pilipino. Pasko Ng Pasasalamat, a bonus track from the album, also received Best Christmas Recording from the Awit Awards.

In celebration of these accolades and more, Noel is set to have a repeat of his sold-out Tuloy Ang Byahe concert two months ago. Tuloy Ang Byahe Ngayong Pasko is set to go onstage this December 13 and 14 at the PETA Theater Center in Quezon City.

Joining Noel in Tuloy Ang Byahe Ngayong Pasko are some of the most prolific OPM icons of today (13) Aiza Seguerra, Gloc-9, Ely Buendia, (14) Jim Paredes and Buboy Garrovillo of APO, Gloc-9 and Ogie Alcasid.

Rihanna's new #1 reflects success of 777 Tour!

Pop superstar Rihanna has reached the peak of Billboard Hot 100 significantly at the end of her headline-grabbing "777 Tour" where she toured, via a Boeing 777 plane, to seven cities in seven days highlighted by a concert in each stop -- all for the purpose of promoting her 7th album "Unapologetic."

The positive result of the tour, wherein she brought more than 150 journalists with her to cover the week-long extravaganza, is best reflected on the album's lead single "Diamonds" becoming her fastest-rising single ever en route to achieving her record-breaking 12th Hot 100 No.1.

Steve Bartels, President & COO of Island Def Jam, was part of that global blitz and came to realize the level of professionalism and artistry Rihanna imbibes. "I can tell you from firsthand experience that no one works harder, and has more fun doing it, than Rihanna," he assessed.

The tour started November 14 as she and her large entourage of fans and international media invitees (representing 82 countries) went around North America and Europe and did the glitter-filled routine of music and mayhem for seven straight days. The show ended climactically in New York.

The Philippine media was represented by eventologist, journalist and TV host Tim Yap who surely has more than a mouthful to share of the privilege given him.

"Rihanna is a multi-dimensional musical force who continues to prove she is one of the greats,” Bartels noted. "To constantly dominate the charts and set new records year after year is an astonishing feat achieved by only the best."

Rihanna’s newest album, “Unapologetic” is out now exclusively distributed in the Philippines by MCA Music, Inc.

Currently, Aiza is receiving heaps of praises from audiences who have been enthralled with the magic of the local staging of Disney’s Aladdin.
