In April 2021, SB19 made history as the first Filipino act to be nominated for the Top Social Artist category in the Billboard Music Awards. They were nominated alongside pop star Ariana Grande and K-pop groups BTS, BLACKPINK, and SEVENTEEN.
Composed of Pablo, Stell, Josh, Justin, and Ken, SB19 is currently one of the biggest Filipino acts. The group, known for their hits “MAPA,” “What?” and “Hanggang sa Huli,” released their EP Pagsibol in July 2021. – Rappler.com
