Best Chart Hits in 2016

I suppose everyone loves and listens to music. As we all know, 2016 has been such a great year of music, many unexpected ones became chart topper, and some became the true representative of 2016. From Adele "Hello" to Pikotaru's "PPAP", here are the list of 2016 best chart hits:

1. Work - Rihanna and Drake

Who doesn't know this song? Well, unless you're a new born baby, of course you know this song. This song hits everywhere, and of course, it is a controversial hits. Many young children pay attention to this song and they sang it loudly without knowing the actual explicit meaning of the song. Despite its explicit meaning, "Work" has been such a tremendous #1 holder on Hot 100, it stayed on top of the chart for 8 consecutive weeks, that is a very long period of time. 

2. 7 Years - Lukas Graham

Everyone knows this song and it fits those who were born in 1970s since the song has similar melody with the songs from 70s. You know, whenever I listen to this song, I always remember summer 2016, idk why. 

3. Can't Stop the Feeling - Justin Timberlake

A great happy anthem from Trolls movie. Everyone likes this song, and many put it in their list of favorite song of 2016. This  hit peaked at #2 on Hot 100, and won many children's hearts. Justin Timberlake really made a comeback on top with this song in 2016.

4. Roses - The Chainsmokers and ROZES

I remember listening to this song the first time in the beginning of 2016. The anthem was so incredibly irresistible when I first heard it, just a different kind of dance anthem to start 2016. This song peaked at #8 on Hot 100, and The Chainsmokers will definitely hit 2016 with other anthems.

5. Closer - The Chainsmokers and Hasley

Iconic song of 2016, it held the #1 spot on Hot 100 for 10 consecutive weeks, just 6 more weeks and it will dethrone Mariah Carey's One Sweet Day. Closer is a very great dance song for me personally, I fell in love with it the first time I heard it. Idk how they did it, but it really represent 2016 for me. Such an incredible song it is.

6. Side to Side - Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj

Hit song that peaked at #6 on Hot 100 and stays at the top 20 of the chart until today. The last time Nicki and Ariana hit the chart was in 2014, with their hir "BangBang" featuring Jessie J. Last year, they made a comeback together with Side to Side, a catchy pop song with appealing sex on the music video. Just a Nicki Minaj classic.

7. Cheap Thrills - Sia

No one expect Sia would finally gained her first ever #1 single on Hot 100 in 2016. Yup, Cheap Thrills stays atop the chart for 4 consecutive weeks, and is one of Sia's best song. The last time Sia appeared on the top 10 was in 2014, with her hit "Chandelier" which peaked at #8. 

8. Work from Home - Fifth Harmony and Ty Dolla $ign

This one also represents 2016 the most for me. In 2015 Fifth Harmony made their first debut on the top 20 with their hit "Worth It" which also become international hit. And then this year, they did it, they made it to the top 10, well to the top 5 indeed, with "Work from Home" and spent many weeks atop the chart. 

9. Cold Water - Justin Bieber, MO, and Major Lazer

The last time Major Lazer hit the chart was in 2015, with his hit "Lean On" which also featured MO in it. Last year, they made a comeback with "Cold Water", only this time Bieber was featured in it too. The song peaked at the top 5 of Hot 100 and stayed there for quite long time. I also fell in love to this song the moment I listened to it the first time. 

10. Let Me Love You - DJ Snake and Justin Bieber

You know, you can say that 2016 has also the year of Justin Bieber. Yup, he hit the chart again, this time with DJ Snake. Let Me Love You compete Cold Water on the chart. It's very rare to see songs by the same singer respectively hit the chart. Only few could do that, Mariah Carey and Taylor Swift for example, they had their singles in #1 and #2 at the same time.

So those are the top 10 for me, there are more actually:

11. Secret Love Song - Little Mix and Jason Derulo
12. One Dance - Drake
13. Starboy - The Weekend
14. Love Yourself - Justin Bieber
15. This is What You Came For - Rihanna and Calvin Harris
16. Cake by the Ocean - DNCE
17. NO - Meghan Trainor
18. Army - Ellie Goulding
19. By Your Side - Jonas Blue and Raye
20. Perfect Strangers - Jonas Blue and JP Cooper
21. Me Too - Meghan Trainor
22. 24k Magic - Bruno Mars
23. Formation - Beyonce
24. Into You - Ariana Grande
25. Middle - DJ Snake and Bipolar Sunshine

Dear President Trump and the people of US,

I want to congratulate President Donald J. Trump for being the official 45th president of the US! Barrack Obama has left with one of the greatest and tremendous legacies compared to other presidents. I do hope that president Trump would also do the same thing or even better in the next 4 years!

I know that many of the Americans, and also around the world, do not want him to be the US president. Many would dare to move to Canada or other country just to avoid Trump's governance and leadership, many disrespect him because of his controversial approach and rules. I do feel the same way too, I would not have voted for Trump if I had been an Americans as well. You know, here's a thing, if Hillary won, we would already know how great America will be in her hands, she is a professional and has already had a lot of experiences in politics and leading America. We already know that she will give her best and that America will be unstoppable if she became the president. But, Donald Trump is an unexpected person, and he still needs to learn lot as he is a businessman and never had he put his hands in politic world before. This is why we should give him the chance to prove that he is also worth the vote and whatever he said could come to real life. 

If we keep on seeing things as bad, then it would become bad for the next 4 years. If we dare to say that everything would be okay and that Donald will be doing just fine through out the next 4 years, maybe things will at least look better. It's not that I want you to pretend like everything is okay while it's not, it's not that. I want you to see that Donald is a new baby in politics and somehow got elected, therefore we - the people - need to teach him by behaving well and show him how a real American should be, how Obama would do if he were still a president. Being rude towards Trump, keep on complaining, and let yourselves aroused by anger and emotion will not change anything now, in fact you are no different than President Trump himself.

You need to show him that Obama has really left with great legacies, yes, and those legacies are you, the people of America, the people of the world, the good relations Obama has built with other countries and nations. Do not damage it by doing things that Obama would dislike if he were the president. However, want it or not, Donald Trump is the president of the US now and for the next 4 years, many things can happen, many unexpected things to be exact. But do not fear, Michelle wanted you not to fear of what is coming, instead, we must give our best every single day and always spread kindness no matter how people around you treat you. THE GOVERNMENT may destroy obamacare, remove the climate change on the web, removing people from the US for safety purpose, and maybe destroy what used to be your rights. BUT, you are you, you are a human being who deserve to have a proper living, a proper life just like any other people do. You have the rights to be loved, to be respected and if people do not respect or love you, just treat them like you wanna be treated. YOU STILL HAVE THE RIGHTS to LOVE, to RESPECT OTHERS, to CARE OF OTHER PEOPLE. They can never take that away from you, you were born this way and your life matters, because people were born and live for reasons. And always remember that you were created by Him to accomplish an enormous purpose, yes, that is to spread peace and kindness.

One last thing, NO religion is the most perfect religion. Even Jesus did not have any religion, He is not a catholic, not he was a Christian. But for sure, He was a human being and He did spread kindness through words and actions. Therefore, you do not have any rights to judge other religion based on what you belief. NEVER FEEL LIKE YOUR RELIGION IS THE BEST, every religion were created imperfect so that EACH RELIGION, can complete each other. 

All in all, best hope for President Trump, and I know that you will eventually leave a positive legacy for the US. I know that as a president you are finally understand that money and power is not everything, but love and kindness are.

For the man who is struggling because of being right

Prayers be upon you, today and forever, for you have not done something they have accused you. You are one in a million, you open and widened the sight of justice and what is called honesty. Your words may be spilled like a hot chili pepper to those who are called themselves as "the innocent" ones, to those who stand for dishonesty, injustice, unkind behavior, crimes, discrimination, and those who act like they are the "chosen one", the so called puppet of those people ruling above them.

You stand in the right side as always. You are imperfect because you are also a human being, who also faces temptation and finally end up with doing sins. But those imperfection are redeemed with all your irreplaceable, long lasting merits you have been giving to so many people around you. You changed the way the world see us, you make us proud to be who we are.

Unfortunately many mistaken your kindness, many discourage your policies for they are afraid of not being able arousing what do not belong to them, what are not theirs. Like a milk being poured to a toxic water, you are the only one who is able to neutralize and fix whatever used to be impossible.

The world around you are somehow prefer to be blinded by sweet lies and fake kindness. The world around you reject your kindness because they are prefer to be led by mouses, they prefer to get their rights stolen and thrown away. They prefer to be abandoned in the past, they already comfortable with their way of livings today. Sadly, they never see how much you have given to make their living better in the future, they reject change, they reject you merits and kindness because they are blind enough, blind enough even to see their own future, even to feel love and how it is being loved. They prefer to be led, to be "ruled" and to be "judged".

He never sleeps, truth always comes to those who deserve it. In the name of being honest, firmly I, myself, say that maybe they do not feel sorry today. Regrets always come in the end eh? So casually cruel, but that how karma works. Maybe that is how they prefer to face.

Dear Sir, if you are not meant to be the ruler again, to be the leader again, so be it. I do really wish you were not the leader anymore. You are way too kind, too honest, too pure to lead a corrupted land full of "acting" and fake masks of kindness. Please stop yourself for being judged and punished because of your kindness and golden heart. You do not deserve all of this, I keep on praying and wishing that you would be taken to somewhere else outside this cruel place.

All in all, I want to say thank you so much for being so brave yet kind and humble, for being such a great leader, a memorable one. Thank you so much for letting yourself being punished, being judged, being accused of something right. Thank you for sacrificing yourself for us, you have changed everything that was impossible to be changed. Let the blind leading the blind, for we all know - maybe not today, not tomorrow, but in the future - the bitter truth has to be established eventually.

Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

United

Just saying, a unity. Isn't it beautiful and powerful? Being united is such a great challenge, it means that we have to be able to combine all diversity as one great community or COUNTRY. Unity may now be an expensive thing to get, many people have been trying to force their will and their needs, and not caring about unity anymore. The feeling of selfishness and greediness corrupt themselves. Many have underestimate love, misunderstanding about love, they can't differentiate between love and lust. Many have judge one another for being "different" without knowing that even themselves are no one to judge others. We are all sinners, and we are all mortal humans. Why judging others? I mean, everyone is God's creation and He created each and every single of you for a reason. Everyone is simply the best, and deserve respect and rights to be loved and love other people. 

When all the diversities in this world come together as one, isn't that beautiful? We are stronger together, we can complete each other's weakness with our strength. We are independent to do so, because we are not the product of what other people are saying or thinking. We are the product of the lessons we have learned, experience we have through and learned, those make us who we are today. We've been living our life as long as we live, why let other people judge us while they have only met us few years? You have the power to refuse those judgement, you just need to let yourself not being judged, make yourself invulnerable. If you think you don't deserve those judge, then live your life the way your heart wants. If it does not start from you, no one will start.

Also, I would like to state that a thing called "Religion", was made for a simple reason, is that to be the road that leads you closer and easier when you want to connect to the "Lord in Heaven". Firmly, it is not to be used as ways to get our needs in this world. You believe in your faith, and I believe in my own faith. We are both have different ways to achieve our goal, is that to be able to enter the heaven. Who are you to step on others' faith and force them to believe in yours? Sometimes their believe leads them to a better road than yours, sometimes not. Sometimes people stray from their way, but that is the way to teach them lessons. We cannot simply force someone to come to our religion or beliefs by saying that ours is better than theirs. EVERY RELIGION IS GOOD, I believe every religion teaches kindness and peace. It's only stated in different ways, but just because it's different doesn't mean it's wrong right? 

I ask you all to respect one another, treat people the way you wanna be treated, and always spread kindness and peace. It is easy to make enemies, but to make friends? it takes longer time and more complicated stages. To break someone's trust is easier than to mend them. Together, we are better and stronger. But divided? We are failing and weak. Be good to people around you, even when they treat you badly. You can see positives only if you let the positive in and eliminate the negativity around you. The change starts from you, if you don't start then no one will.

Excited? Me too. 

What makes PrasMul so special? PrasMul has a different kind of learning management and learning system, it dislike using too many theories. Life is much bigger than a theory, life has to be dealt with good social skills and also tremendously good attitude. Without those, you may not survive being in the world. Theory is like a bridge, connecting between the real world and the artificial world known as mind and attitude of every individuality. PrasMul, is not only improving its students' psychometric but also cognitive. 

PrasMul often spawn its students into the real job world, which means they do company visit and interview one of the members of the company, or they do the program called "On Job Training". "On Job Training" or OJT, is a program in which the students work in a company. This usually done by the first semester students. To make the students active, not only in class, PrasMul has a system called the Career Point. Students must collect at least 70 career points in order to graduate from this university. Okay so let me just make this in a list or you won't read this.

1. Career Point

You must collect at least 70 CPs in order to graduate from PrasMul. You can get CP by simply doing one or some of these things: Be the audience of any seminars, win or participate in a competition, becoming a committee member whether in PrasMul or outside PrasMul, and you will get the biggest CP if you have a business and it works very well. Each of those activity I mention above, has its own value, so the more complicated and more international an activity is, the more CP it is likely to be caught. Use this motto: "Don't catch CP, instead, let the CP catch you!".

2. LMS (Learning Management System)

This, is the technological kind of academic board. Everything you need to know is already provided in LMS, example: Academic calendar, curriculum, academic schedule, online materials, score boards and many more. You just need to log in to it, and you can see and know every single important information about this week's activity. You don't need to queue anymore in a hectic way in order too scores or see informations, you just need to sit down by yourself, log in and then you get everything you need. Simple as that.

3. Mailing List

Every important or not important information will be automatically sent to our inbox by the administration or the student engagement. For example, a car's lamp is still on with the police number B 1234 UPM. Then it will be shared to every single students of PrasMul to let the owner or the owner's friends know about this. 

4. PMBS Student's Personal Email

PrasMul provides its students personal email using gmail. Why gmail? because it has google drive and youtube which make PrasMul Students easily contacting and sharing stuffs one another. You can also use this email to contact the Faculty Members (teachers) if only you had any question or appointment needs. Easy right? 

5. Amphitheater Class Room

The Classrooms is completed with 4 ACs each classroom, large white board, a projector and its screen, and a tapping machine as presence absent machine. 

6. Kita Mart

Is the name of a mini market inside PrasMul, owned by PrasMul. Believe or not, it sells goods cheaper than any other mini markets. I don't even know how they do it, but well...that's what is called business.

7. Introductory Program (IP)

PrasMul has a very special way mentoring and introducing its campus and its activities to the new students, it's called the Introductory Program. Unlike any other university, IP has its own values and characters, and it usually takes around 14 days of IP (13 days + 1 day for welcoming night). Each of those 13 days serves different kind of values and characters which are:

Advancement
Learning
Persistence & Honesty
Acceptance

Caring
Humility
Achieving
INtegrity

Analytical Thinking
Maturity
Interpersonal relationship
Communication
Achievement

So each day of IP represents those 13 values and characters of Prasmulyan and also every day the new students are given new tasks which all has its own value for the new students. The new students, whether they are aware or not, will get improvement after the IP. It is heavy, perhaps one of the heaviest orientation program in Indonesia (or perhaps the world). But believe me, you will know exactly what is the use of IP after passing it or some time in the future when you face the working world. I can say that IP is the wrap up of all worst situations you will face in the future, in order to get improvement of yourself, you need to leave the comfort zone behind and IP has the best way to force you to get out of your comfort zone. Mark this sentence, THERE ARE NO UNIVERSITY IN INDONESIA EXCEPT PRASETIYA MULYA, WHICH APPLY VALUES AND CHARACTERS IN EVERY DAY OF ITS ORIENTATION PROGRAM. Usually orientation program is about bullying and make fun of new students, some sort of refreshing moment for the seniors, but this does not apply in PrasMul, it is completely different and useful and meaningful. 

8. Smart Card and Tapping Machine

Smart Card is a student card, without which your presence will be count as absent that day. You need to tap you smart card to the tapping machine in order to presence that day, also you can only access the library by tapping your smart card to the tapping machine on the library door. Futuristic right? It's still rare to find university using this kind of method. Oh I almost forgot, the tapping machine consists of Smart Card Reader, Finger Print Scanner and a camera. You cannot lie you attend to the class while you're actually not. 

9. On Job Training

It is a must do for the 1st semester students. The students is asked to apply for jobs in a company and work there for at least a month, and they also need to make report out of it. The bigger the scope of the company, the more CPs the students will get, quite fair right? 

There is still more actually but well I'm getting tired of writing this, anyway you must be exhausted reading the whole article don't you? To ask more, you can comment or visiting this incredible university by yourself. Oh and do check http://www.prasetiyamulya.ac.id/  and http://pmbs.ac.id/ for more information. Thank you for reading!
