Billboard Philippines launches Hot 100 and Top Philippine Songs charts
Billboard Philippines launched two music charts in the country: the Hot 100 and Top Philippine Songs.
The Philippine counterpart of the world-renowned Hot 100 will rank the biggest songs in both streaming and sales activity from leading musical services in the country. The charts will rank both Filipino and global songs.
Meanwhile, the Top Philippine Songs chart will exclusively feature the top 25 Filipino songs within the country. The chart promises “to showcase the country’s most notable, influential, and fast-rising musical acts.”
“With the growing popularity and diversity of Filipino music, especially in recent years, it is high time the country had its very own chart that reflects this, highlighting our best songs and artists, no matter what genre or region of the Philippines they are from,” Billboard Philippines said on their website.
The data will be compiled by Luminate, a leading preeminent data and insights company in the entertainment industry. According to Billboard, “Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of available audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers.”
The Billboard Philippines Hot 100 and Top Philippines Songs charts will be released every Wednesday beginning July 3.
For its debut chart, currently leading the Hot 100 is Maki’s “Dilaw,” followed by BINI’s “Salamin, Salamin,” and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please.”
In the Top Philippine Songs chart, “Dilaw” is followed by “Salamin, Salamin” and another BINI hit, “Pantropiko.” The Nation's Girl Group’s top songs, “Karera” and “Lagi” take up the fourth and fifth spots.
Billboard Philippines launched in 2023 with SB19 as its first cover stars. The magazine is led by Bret Jackson as its editor-in-chief, Francis Reyes as its editor-at-large, Paolo Valenciano as its executive producer, and Anton Molina as its podcast producer.
