In other news, SB19 started making waves in Europe when its "Pagsibol" EP -- the group's first EP -- peaked at No. 1 on iTunes' Top Albums (All Genre) chart in Luxembourg in late September 2023.

Luxembourg is a small European country surrounded by Belgium, France and Germany.

 

After releasing its hit song "Gento" in May 2023, SB19 made waves in different countries outside the Philippines, including China, Japan, Malaysia and South Korea, among many others.

Different celebrities and personalities hopped on the "Gento" dance craze on TikTok, leading to SB19's massive popularity abroad.

"Gento" also charted on different streaming sites like Spotify, China's Shazam and LINE Music in Japan, among many others. 

 

SB19 is a five-member group formed in 2018 under ShowBT Philippines. The P-Pop group consists of Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken and Justin.

The group debuted with its single "Tilaluha" but only started getting attention when the members' dance practice video for "Go Up" went viral in late 2019.

The quintet has released one studio album, "Get in the Zone," in 2020 and two EPs so far, "Pagsibol" in 2021 and "Pagtatag!" in 2023.

The group has also collaborated with different artists, including South Korean producer Ohwon Lee, 2NE1's former member Sandara Park and American singer-songwriter JVKE.

SB19 recently celebrated its five years in the music scene in October 2023. The group is now under 1Z Entertainment, a company built and managed by the SB19 members.
