I think #14 was taken during Eternal Light. Of the many backgrounds used in the concert, I can only remember a few and the starry, starry background of Eternal Light is one of them.

#17 - I thought "picture-taking is strictly prohibited on the tarmac"?!?! :x I kid, I kid. I suppose that is only for mere mortals like us.

Sorry :). I was doubting about Stefans photo, This one I have now. Or the one after that with the two Matthews and the stars on the background. So prob. going to change it to check what I like the most. What do you think? I love Stefans picture!! Do you hate me now? :roll:

Aah, yes. The formation points to How Shall I Sing. I miss listening to Eoghan's voice.

A slight fall to No2 in this week's Odyssey Top-Selling Albums Overall October 24 – 30, 2011 charts, but that's only because another Christmas compilation is at No1. Still 2 weeks at No1 and a 3rd week at No2 should translate to great sale returns. It would be interesting to know how many CD's they have sold over this period in the Philippines.

I don't know how many CDs those ranking translates since they don't really release the numbers, but certainly a lot more than Coldplay. :lol: At the moment at least...

Interesting article here http://www.tribuneonline.org/life/20111112lif1.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Towards the end it mentions Lbera's recent tour and the release of their christmas album. A few interesting quotes;
Ethel Cachapero, marketing manager for Polyeast Records, said that Japanese and Korean fans flew all the way to the Philippines just to see the sold-out concert seen by President Noynoy Aquino himself. Most of those who watched, she said, are mothers with their young children in tow
The album, on the other hand, is the group’s first Christmas compilation as Libera, but not as a group. They were formerly known as Angel Voices, for which they made sold-out, multi-platinum albums, Cachapero revealed. The new Libera album, she shared, has sold 500 copies four hours after its release

It is odd how 500 sales in 4 hours sounds pretty bad going but in Libera terms im assuming its magnificent . It proves how low there album sales really are and why they make very little money off cd's.

Yes, sales of CD's have declined since the dawn of MP3's in general. However I expect Libera sales figures would have remained pretty fluid to keep it at No1 spot in some Philippine charts for the past 3 weeks, so they could well have accumulated 1000s of units sold by this stage.

This is magnificent in a way here in the Philippines because piracy is so rampant here most of the populace adapted to it. :( Even popular local singers average only to 20k units sold at times. :/

I find it very odd though that he didn't get any mention during Mr. de Ocampo's speech if he was really there...

And we questioned his taste in music for nothing... :lol: Maybe the front-row are all foreigners that didn't recognize the president? Haha. But Skittles was in the front row, right? She would have recognized him. Unless he was in disguise or something. :)

I wonder if the boys knew he was there. I can imagine they would be pretty nervous if they did! So yeah, maybe he came incognito...
