Christian Bautista lords it over charts

FRESH off the phenomenal success of his first single, Christian
Bautista releases his second, "Hands to Heaven" to an eager public
who seems to be hanging on every word from the 22-year-old pop star.
In just a matter of weeks after its release, it shot up to the Number
1 spot in most pop radio stations and music channels.

A remake of a Breathe song, "Hands to Heaven" is a calm and soothing
journey into the mind and heart, filled with heartfelt lyrics and one
of the most easily recognizable and memorable tunes in pop music.

The music video, too, is a remarkable piece. It tackles the familiar
territory of telenovelas by parodying the all-too romantic tale of
the mermaid and shipwrecked sailor. In it, Bautista portrays a
drowning man saved by a woman who he eventually falls in love with.
Their relationship blossoms only for him to find out that in the end
they cannot be together because she happens only for him to find out
that in the end they cannot be together because she happens to be a
mermaid. Christian first gained nationwide attention for his self-
titled debut album with the single, "The Way You Look at Me," a
single which garnered the number one spot in most radio stations'
playlist as well as on MYX and MTV almost as soon as it was released.
And with this second single, he seems to be doing nothing short of
surpassing what he first started. Already, "Hands to Heaven" remains
steady at the top spots of pop radio stations and music channels and
doesn't show signs of slowing down any time soon.

Likened to the singing style of Josh Groban, Christian refuses to be
labeled as "the next" anything. Yet he continues to strive to create
his own identity and stamp his mark in the music world through his
own merits.

One of the fastest-selling albums by a local artist to date,
Christian sold 30,000 copies, jumping from gold record to platinum
album in a matter of weeks. Today, his debut album has sold over
30,000 copies nationwide and the number just keeps on growing.

Recently, he just held his own, performing his first major
concert, "The Way You look at Me" at Onstage at Greenbelt last July
30 to a jam-packed crowd.

With all these accolades at such a young age and such a short period
of time, Christian Bautista is sure to be the future of pop music.

"Hands to Heaven" is on Christian Bautista's self-titled debut album
from Warner Music Philippines.
