SB19 – composed of Sejun, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin – debuted at the 28th spot on the first week of January. On the week of Monday, January 6, the group moved up higher on the list, and are now on the 19th spot.

According to Billboard, the Social 50 list is a “weekly ranking of the most active artists on the world’s leading social network sites.”

On November 20, the group also landed on Billboard’s Next Big Sound chart, ranking 6th.

SB19 is the first Pinoy boy band to be trained under the local branch of Korean entertainment agency ShowBT. The group debuted in 2018 with their first ballad single, “Tilaluha,” with the catchy “Go Up” following soon after. – Rappler.com
