TOP 40 MOST VIEWED MUSIC & LYRIC VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE BY LOCAL ARTISTS -2018-19

My post about Top 40 most viewed music videos by local artists posted in April last year has been receiving some feedback from readers.  I apologize for not updating it on a regular basis as I am also busy with my work.  But nonetheless I'll always find time to update it whenever I can.  To make it more accurate, I decided to change the title of the post since a number of entries in the top  40 are not really music videos per se.  I'm referring to the new trends which has evolved during the past few years seeing the rise of lyric videos and live performance on Wish 107.5 bus that has become very popular and even getting more views than their corresponding official music videos.  Referring to the latter, I'm not sure if this is just a trend in the Philippines.  I guess by next update, I will have to separate the two areas from legitimate music videos.   

Whatever it is, here's the top 40 most viewed music/lyric videos on YouTube by local artists. Just in case I missed some of your favorite videos, please feel free to notify us.

On top of the list is "Mundo" by fast rising band IV of Spades, winner of the recent MYX New Artist of the year award.  Taking the second spot is Morisette Amon's cover of "Secret Love Songs,"  followed by "Bakit Ba Ikaw" by Anthnoy Pangilinan.  Interestingly enough, all the first three were all live performance on Wish 107.3 Bus.  Inigo Pascual "Dahil Sa'Yo" which stayed  no. 1 for several months slipped to no. 4 and 5th place is Bugoy Drillon's cover of "One Day," another live performance on Wish 107.5.  Obviously the biggest gainers are "Mundo" and "One Day" which climb all   the way to the top 5 and JK Labajo's "Buwan" which was released just 3 months ago climbed to no. 15.  It is also noteworthy to mention that "Pyramid" by Charice is still in the top 40 and Darren Espanto's version of "Dying Inside to hold You" stays on top 10.
