You've seen the concert, now buy the album!

Viva Records has finally released the much – awaited Night of the Champions album inspired by the successful concert of the same title featuring Sarah Geronimo, Rachelle Ann Go, Mark Bautista, Erik Santos, Raymund Manalo and Christian Bautista.

Night of the Champions is a virtual collector's item, since it is the first time that all six have come together in one album. Night of the champions features songs from the concert not recorded as live versions, but recorded in a studio, especially for this album.

The line-up of the songs includes two powerhouse medleys – Sarah's Celine Dion medley (Because You Loved Me, The Power of Love, My Heart Will Go On and It's All Coming Back To Me Now) and Rachelle Ann Sharon Cuneta medley featuring the songs Sana'y Maghintay Ang Walang Hanggan, Ikaw, Bituing Walang Ningning and Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas.

The guys certainly aren't left behind in this singing showcase. Erik leads the way with the R. Kelly pops classic I Believe I Can Fly, a song that shows off his vocal range to good advantage. Mark sends the kilig factor a notch higher by reprising his Star For A Night piece, Basil Valdez's Ngayon at Kailanman, while Raymond performs his own unique rendition of another OPM classic, Kailangan Kita.

The album also wouldn't be complete without the duets that brought the house down during the concert: Sarah and Mark's Broken Vow and Rachelle and Christian's You and Me (We Wanted It All).

Rounding out the list are Sarah and Rachelle's signature songs. Sarah's To Love You More (which won her the P1 million grand prize on Star For A Night) and If Only.

Meanwhile, Rachelle Ann proves what a powerful singer she is by belting her winning Search For A Star piece, Through The Rain.

Night of the Champions is released by Viva Records and is available at all major records stores and outlets nationwide. - -
