CHARICE IS NO.4 IN BILLBOARD'S 21 UNDER 21

Charice is on a roll, definitely. After scoring her first Top 10 album in the Billboard charts and scoring a first No. 1dance hit with "Pyramid" also on the same chart, she then jumped the couch potato wagon. Last September, she joined the cast of Glee as "Sunshine Corazon" which opened to a record number of audiences in the US.

But she ain't stopping from there. US seems to be loving her as the diminutive singer also landed in the 21 Under 21 List of Billboard.Com. And she did not just grab a spot in it but in fact she took No. 4 spot ahead of some of the biggest names in the biz. She outpaced all of her Glee mates including the only other Gleek in the chart Chris Colfer who is at No. 13. She also bested Disney regulars Miley Cyrus (No. 10), Demi Lovato (No. 8) and ICarly's Miranda Cosgrove (No. 14). Her ranking was ever higher than artists like Nick Jonas (No.6), Soulja Boy (No. 5), Wonder Girls (No. 16) and Sean Kingston (No.21). She only trails 3 power stars - Taylor Swift (No.1), Justine Bieber (No.2) and Selena Gomez (No.3)

Her success is something we, Filipinos should be proud of. Let's just hope she continues on gaining more and more popularity. With backing from peopl like David Foster, Ellen Degeneres and Oprah Winfrey, we're sure she'll continue to reap success.
