• The Pinoy pop group SB19 has made history after dethroning the Korean pop supergroup BTS in Billboard‘s Hot Trending Songs chart, December 7, Tuesday.

  SB19’s ‘Bazinga’ just made it to the top of the hot trending songs chart, the first time the group has topped any Billboard chart. It is also the first time that a group dethroned BTS since the launch of the chart. The boy band previously made it to the charts of Social 50’s weekly and yearend charts.

  According to Billboard, ‘Bazinga’ has jumped from number 8 spot to the top spot recently. “The song reigns with 1.5 million Twitter mentions (up 67%) in the tracking week, which ran from Friday, Nov. 26 through Thursday, Dec. 2, and earns SB19 its first No. 1 on any chart.”

  Billboard‘s Hot Trending Songs charts, powered by Twitter and sponsored Capital One, track global music-related trends and conversations in real-time across Twitter, viewable over either the last 24 hours or past seven days. The charts highlight buzz around new releases, award shows, festival moments, music nostalgia and more. Hot Trending Songs is unique in that it tracks what songs people are talking about, not necessarily what they’re listening to.
