Singaporean actor and fallen soldier Aloysius Pang's 2015 single, 'Black Tears', is now number one on the Singapore Apple iTunes charts today.

Pang's 2015 song beat "Hello My Love", a song by Irish pop vocal band Westlife that was released on Jan, 10, 2019.

Pang's old song must have touched many older Singaporeans' hearts (because the younger Singaporeans are on Spotify!) for it to be more popular than Westlife's first official single in eight years.

Earlier today at 5pm, Pang's song was ranked number two.

Song played at Pang's memorial

The song was played at the conclusion of Pang's memorial that started at 1.30pm on Jan. 27.

Family members, celebrities and media industry leaders spoke for more than an hour in memory of Pang, with more than 75,000 people tuning in live to watch the eulogies delivered on both NoonTalk Media and Channel 8 WorldNews Facebook pages.

Pang's friend also paid tribute to him with a rendition of "Black Tears" at the wake.
