| LET'S DO THE RECAP! |
I. International Activities
This year, Sarah Geronimo made noise in the international scene. She is the first and only Filipino performer who is awarded in the World Music Awards. She was named as the World's Bestselling Artist of the Philippines, Best Philippine Female Act, Best Philippine Live Act, and Best Philippine Entertainer. The organization wanted to invite her & Ms. Regine Velasquez-Alcasid to perform in the said awarding but the busy schedules of the two didn't permit the said invitation.
This 2014, Sarah Geronimo was also named the Best Southeast Asian Act in the MTV Europe Music Awards making her the first & only Filipino artist to be awarded in the said body. She advanced to the votation of Best Worldwide Act (Phase 2) alongside Justin Bieber, One Direction, Lorde, Enrique Iglesias, etc. however, the representative of China, BiBi Zhou, won the title. She also had two other nominations in the MTVEMA including her 'Ikot-Ikot' as Best Pop Video.
Sarah Geronimo is the 'FAST-RISING ASIAN STAR' as claimed by Paras Sharma, VP of MTV Brand and Digital Media, Viacom International Media Networks Asia.
The Asia's Popstar Royalty was also chosen by Disney Asia to sing the English version of 'The Glow' which will be used by the company as the theme song of their newest Disney Princess movie. Her version of 'The Glow' will be used by Disney Asia for their international promotion.
Just recently, Disney Channel Asia posted, "12 beautiful stars from around Southeast Asia will be revealed as Disney Princesses." Relating to this, Sarah Geronimo official page posted a photo similar to one of the 12 photo clues uploaded by Disney Asia. The caption goes this way, "A tower hidden from view. #FearlessPrincess". Popsters, Sarah's fans, are curious of the said posts and guess that Sarah will be portraying the role of Rapunzel of Disney movie 'Tangled'. Kim Chiu previously was already announced to be chosen by Disney to portray as Mulan. Ten other Southeast Asian artists were also selected for the said project. Rumors say that this will be for the production of Disney calendar for 2015. Well, we'll know these coming days and this coming year. Congratulations in advance to the new Disney Princesses!
Known as the ultimate concert performer, Sarah Geronimo also had a series of concerts abroad for her 'Perfect 10'. She is the first & only Filipino act to stage at the Du Forum Dubai. Du Forum defined Sarah Geronimo as the 'Best in Live Stage'. She also had a concert at the Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore where spotted as one of the audiences is the member of Korean girl group 2Ne1, Sandara Park. Due to insistent public demand, she again went back to Dubai & for this time, she performed at the Dubai Trade Center. She also wowed our Filipino Kababayans in Qatar.

She's one of the '20 Filipino Music Artists You Need To Listen Right Now' a list created by BuzzFeed.com , an Internet News Media in New York.
She also got a spot in Gulf News and was featured in 'The National', both Dubai-based news sites.
Sarah Geronimo's newest album, 'Perfectly Imperfect', was collaboratively made possible by Viva Records (Philippines) & XOXO Entertainment Studios (Canada). Adam Hurstfield, the international co-producer of some songs in the album, named Sarah as the 'Best in Asia'.
II. Local Activities
Sarah Geronimo still joins Lea Salonga, Apl de Ap and Bamboo, the coaches of 'The Voice of the Philippines'. She is the sole coach with two representatives in the top 4 of 'The Voice Kids', also the sole and the winning coach to have her artists as 1st Runner-Up (Darren Espanto) and the Grand Winner (Lyca Gairanod) in the said season.
She also had her movie for the first time with the multi-awarded actor, Coco Martin. The movie entitled 'Maybe This Time' grossed almost PhP 140,000,000 in the box office. The self-titled theme song of the movie became a nationwide LSS and also named as the Most Streamed OPM Track for 2014 in SpotifyPH and topped the MYX and radio charts for time.

Sarah Geronimo continues to give goosebumping and jaw-dropping performances to her fans as being a regular performer & a mainstay in @ASAPOFFICIAL. But due to some commitments (endorsements, mall shows, concerts), she sometimes isn't able to perform. Hoping fans will understand the hectic schedule of the superstar.
Her 'Perfectly Imperfect' album already achieved its platinum status a month after it was released. If you can still remember, the album topped on iTunesPH even just for pre-orders. The album includes the LSS-worthy, carrier single, 'Kilometro', which now tops the nationwide charts.
