Charice invades Billboard Hot 100
After Amazon.com and iTunes’ music charts, international singing sensation Charice has now conquered the latest Billboard Hot 100.
The Filipino singer’s "Note to God," composed and written by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster, placed 44th on Hot 100 singles chart this week.
The Billboard Hot 100 is the list of most popular singles in the United States issued weekly by Billboard magazine, the world’s premier music publication. Chart rankings are based on radio play and sales gains.
Charice first performed her single on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" last May 18 (US time). The May 18 episode was the finale of Oprah’s worldwide search for the "Most Talented Kids."
Hours after the world saw her sing “Note to God,” the single became one of iTunes and Amazon.com’s bestsellers.
Her first international album will be released late this year.
Charice now contract artist of US record firm
Barely two years after she made her debut in US television on Ellen DeGeneres’ show and then thrice on Oprah Winfrey’s (the latest having been last May 18), and guest appearances on the concerts of David Foster, Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion, Charice adds yet another feather to her already well-decorated cap by being the newest contract artist of Warner Brothers Records.
Credit A-list composer and record producer David Foster who, impressed by Charice’s vocal prowess when he heard her for the first time, has charted Charice’s international career.
It was Foster who produced Note to God, written by Diane Warren, which is included in the latest David Foster album. Immediately upon its release, the song took the No. 5 spot on iTunes and No. 1 on the Amazon download charts. Charice’s Note to God performance on Oprah, with Foster himself accompanying her on the piano, can be seen on YouTube.
Charice’s first solo album, to be produced by Foster, is now being prepared. It will be released locally by Warner Music Philippines before the year ends.
