MANILA, Philippines — SB19 made history as their latest single “DAM” debuted at number one on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart, Billboard Philippines reported on Tuesday.
With this milestone, SB19 becomes the first Filipino act to ever top the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart.
SB19’s Growing Presence on Billboard Charts
Although this marks their first number one, SB19 has previously appeared on the chart. “DAM” is the P-Pop band’s second entry, following their hit song “Gento,” which debuted and peaked at number eight in June 2023.
The Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart ranks the top 10 best-selling digital singles worldwide on a weekly basis.
SB19’s ‘DAM’ and Upcoming Comeback
Released in February, “DAM” is the first single from SB19’s upcoming EP “Simula at Wakas.”
According to the group, “DAM” is a play on the Filipino word “Pakiramdam,” symbolizing a song about staying true to one’s values and principles despite the sacrifices needed to achieve greater success in both career and life.
World Tour and Continued Success
To support their new EP, SB19 is set to embark on a world tour, starting with a kickoff concert on May 31 at the Philippine Arena.
The group, composed of Pablo, Stell, Ken, Josh, and Justin, debuted in 2018 and has since become one of the most successful P-pop groups today, known for their hit songs “MAPA,” “Gento,” and “Nyebe.”
