SB19 Owns 20% Of A Billboard Chart with 'Dungka!' and 'Dam'
SB19's 'Dungka!' debuts at No. 7 on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart, giving the group ... More another top 10 hit from Simula at Wakas. BULACAN, PHILIPPINES - DECEMBER 14: Pablo, Stell, Ken, Justin, and Josh of boy group SB19 attend the 2023 Asia Artist Awards at the Philippine Arena on December 14, 2023 in Bulacan, Philippines. (Photo by) SB19 has been one of the hottest musical acts in the Philippines for several years now, and certainly among the top-performing commercially. While the boy band began expanding outside the Asian nation with its past project, the last few months have been especially significant, as the outfit's new short album Simula at Wakas shows that the misicians have absolutely developed an audience in Western markets, such as the United States. Another single spun off from the band's new EP has not only become a commercial success in America, but a top 10 smash for the vocal troupe – another one. 'Dungka!' debuts on the World Digital Song Sales chart this week. The cut launches at No. 7 on the purchase-centric tally. SB19 scores the top start of the week on the 10-spot ranking, and the Filipino boy band's latest focus track is one of only two new arrivals this time around. The other, 'Will Ye Go, Lassie Go,' is credited to Lola Kirke, Peter Dreams, Brian Dunphy, Darren Holden and Jack O'Connell, all of whom are actors (and singers) in the blockbuster movie Sinners. That tune enters at No. 10, in last place. This frame, SB19 fills a pair of positions on the World Digital Song Sales list. As 'Dungka!' starts at No. 7, the first single taken from Simula at Wakas, 'Dam,' kicks off its third week on the ranking, reentering at No. 4. Earlier this year, 'Dam' became the group's first champion on this Billboard tally. SB19 first appeared on the World Digital Song Sales chart in 2023, making history when 'Gento' arrived. That tune spent just one frame at No. 8, earning the group an initial top 10 bestseller. This week, SB19 claims 20% of all the spots on the World Digital Song Sales ranking. The Filipino male vocal troupe is the only non-solo musical act to occupy more than one position. Soloists Jack O'Connell, Brian Dunphy, and Darren Holden — actors and singers from Sinners — also fill two slots. As 'Will Ye Go, Lassie Go' debuts, 'Rocky Road to Dublin' is also still present on the tally. The latter tune opened in third place last frame and now climbs to No. 2.

SB19 Charts Its First Album In A Major Music Market
Filipino boy band SB19 scores a major U.K. win as Simula at Wakas debuts at No. 4 on the Official ... More Album Downloads chart and enters the top 40 on the sales list. BULACAN, PHILIPPINES - DECEMBER 14: Pablo, Stell, Ken, Justin, and Josh of boy group SB19 attend the 2023 Asia Artist Awards at the Philippine Arena on December 14, 2023 in Bulacan, Philippines. (Photo by) For years now, K-pop musicians and bands have been scoring huge commercial wins in Western markets, long after the genre took over South Korea's music industry. For some time, many in the music business have been wondering when other Asian acts will develop similarly-massive fan bases in places like the United States and the United Kingdom. What style and nation will be next to export its own signature sound? A handful of J-pop and Chinese stars have broken through, and now one Filipino boy band appears to be representing its country and paving the way for what could become a new wave of what's known as Pinoy pop. SB19 recently released its new EP, Simula at Wakas, and it's become a commercial win in the United Kingdom. Simula at Wakas opens on a pair of U.K.-based rankings this week. The short studio effort starts inside the top 10 on the Official Album Downloads chart, where it launches at No. 4. It also just barely manages to become a top 40 bestseller on the even-busier and more competitive Official Albums Sales roster, where it opens at No. 40. The Filipino boy band has only reached two other tallies in the nation before. 'Dam,' the lead single from the new effort, debuted on a handful of rankings back in March. 'Dam' climbed to No. 4 on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads rosters. That means SB19 has now cracked the uppermost tier — and coincidentally peaked at No. 4 — on a trio of lists. This week, the Official Albums Sales chart is especially packed with new releases. The all-encompassing ranking of the bestselling titles in the country — which includes both digital and physical purchases — sees 25 new projects start ahead of Simula at Wakas. When it comes to platforms like iTunes and Amazon in the U.K., the field wasn't nearly as competitive. Just three projects — Ghosts' Skeleta (No. 1), Stereophonics' Make Him Laugh, Make Him Cry, Make 'Em (No. 2) and James Arthur's Pisces (No. 3) — kept the Filipino musicians from leading the charge. Still, the group managed to beat out some well-known stars, such as Billy Idol, Wu-Tang Clan, and even Jeff Goldblum, the actor and musician, all of whom start behind the vocalists.
