SB19’s “Dungka!” debuts at No. 7 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart, giving the group … More
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 Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales Chart
“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.
SB19 Occupies Multiple Spots on the Chart
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.
SB19 Claims 20% of the Entire List
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.
