Philippines Songs was a music record chart in the Philippines, compiled by Billboard since February 2022. Updated every Tuesday on Billboard's website, the chart was announced on February 14, 2022 as part of Billboard's Hits of the World chart collection, ranking the top 25 songs weekly in more than 40 countries around the globe. [3] This was the first local Billboard chart in the Philippines since the discontinuation of the Philippine Hot 100 and four other charts after Billboard Philippines halted its operation for an undisclosed reason on January 15, 2018. [4]
The first number-one song on the chart was "Pano" by Zack Tabudlo on the issue dated February 19, 2022. [5] [6] [7]
"Mahika" by Adie & Janine Berdin was the longest-running song on the chart with 72 weeks, ending its run on December 16, 2023. [8] Taylor Swift was the artist with the most entries overall, having 72 songs charted by the week dated May 4, 2023. [1] [9]
The magazine published the last issue of the chart on June 18, 2024, for the week of June 29, with Maki's "Dilaw" as the number-one song. [10] On July 1, Billboard Philippines discontinued the chart in preparation for the relaunch of the Philippines Hot 100 chart and the introduction of the new Top Philippine Songs chart. The two new charts begin on July 3, with rankings updated every Wednesday. [11]
The chart tracks songs' performance from Friday to Thursday. Chart rankings are based on digital downloads from full-service digital music retailers (sales from direct-to-consumer sites such as an individual artist's store are excluded) and online streaming occurring in the Philippines during the tracking period. All data are provided by Luminate Data, formerly MRC Data. [12]
In 2022, eleven acts achieved their first Philippine number-one single in the Philippines Songs chart, either as a lead artist or a featured guest: Zack Tabudlo, Anees, Troye Sivan, BTS, Joji, Charlie Puth, Jungkook, Blackpink, Adie, Janine Berdin, and Taylor Swift. Out of the ten number-one songs in the calendar year, six singles debuted at the top spot. Zack Tabudlo's "Pano" became the first song to debut and peak at the summit, making it the first OPM chart-topper and Tabudlo as the first Filipino to reach number one in Philippines Songs. [6] [15] [16] It was also the longest-running number-one single of the chart so far, having topped for eleven consecutive weeks. [13] [17] Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero" led the top place for nine weeks, the longest stay by a female artist on top. [2] Charlie Puth's "Left and Right" topped the chart for eight consecutive weeks, while Anees' "Sun and Moon" spent five weeks at the number-one spot after making its mark as the first international number one of the chart. [18] [19]
Adie and Janine Berdin's "Mahika" was the first Filipino duet to reach the summit, allowing Berdin to be the first Filipina to lead the chart. [14] [20] [21] Blackpink's "Shut Down" debuted at number one in October, ending the run of their own "Pink Venom", both from the album Born Pink . [22] [23] The feat made Blackpink the first act to replace themselves at number one, and the only act in 2022 to produce multiple number-one songs. [24] [25]

UMG Philippines Inc. is a record label based in the Philippines and served as its regional branch of the multinational music corporation, Universal Music Group. Formerly known as MCA Music, the record label previously retained the now-discontinued MCA name on legal purposes because of a trademark dispute with an unrelated label known as Universal Records, which preempted the rights to the word "Universal" for recorded music in the Philippines. However, the company adopted the moniker "MCA/Universal", much like Universal Pictures' home video unit from 1990 to 1997, to simplify identification, even though no formal "Universal" branding is exercised. Despite the naming, the label is known outside the Philippines as Universal Music Philippines.
