Filipino boy band SB19 continues to make waves in the music industry, reaching new heights with their latest single “Gento” entering Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart. The quintet’s track made an impressive debut at number eight on the chart, a significant accomplishment for the group. Billboard, the renowned U.S.-based music magazine, compiles this chart based on data provided by Luminate, an insights company.

While SB19’s “Gento” secured a spot on the chart, BTS’s “The Planet” maintained its position at the top. The latter is the theme song for the highly anticipated South Korean animated series called “Bastions.”

Eager to share their joy with their dedicated fan base, known as A’TIN, SB19 took to their official Twitter page on May 31 to express their gratitude. They acknowledged their fans’ unwavering support and praised them for continuously propelling the group to unimaginable heights. SB19’s tweet read, “SB19 ‘GENTO’ #8 on Billboard World Digital Song Sales. A’TIN! You keep taking us to heights unimaginable. What you are is truly AMAZING.”

This is not the first time SB19 has left their mark on the Billboard charts. In April 2021, they made history as the first Filipino and Southeast Asian artists to be nominated for the Top Social Artist category at the prestigious Billboard Music Awards. This nomination represented a significant milestone for the group and showcased their growing influence in the international music scene.

“Gento” serves as a preview of SB19’s highly anticipated album titled “Pagtatag!” The album’s title is a combination of three words: “ganito” (meaning “like this” in English), “ginto” (which translates to “gold”), and “gento” (a Caviteño slang term for “ganito”). The release of this album will mark a significant moment for SB19 and their fans, as they eagerly await its arrival.

Comprising of talented members Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin, SB19 has captured the hearts of fans both in the Philippines and beyond with their unique sound and captivating performances. Their upcoming album, set to be released on June 9, will feature six tracks that promise to showcase their versatility and artistic growth.

As SB19 continues to make strides in the music industry, their success serves as an inspiration to aspiring artists in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. With their chart achievements and groundbreaking nominations, SB19 has undoubtedly made a name for themselves on the international stage, solidifying their position as one of the region’s most promising musical acts.

In conclusion, SB19’s recent entry into Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart with their single “Gento” is a testament to their talent and growing popularity. Their continuous achievements and upcoming album release have fans eagerly anticipating what the future holds for this remarkable Filipino boy band.
