IFPI Launches Official Philippines Chart, with Marilag by Dionela becoming first ever official # 1 track

“A huge congratulations to Dionela and everyone involved in making Marilag the first ever Official Philippines Chart #1! It is wonderful to see a Pinoy artist claim this milestone, and is a testament to the wealth of talent and artistry in the country. We look forward to reporting on further success and celebrating more artists in the coming weeks and months.” ~Simon Seow, Regional Director for Southeast Asia at IFPI


IFPI, representing the recording industry worldwide, has today announced the launch of The Official Philippines Chart, bringing official, industry-backed weekly music charts to the country for the first time.

"Marilag," the hit song by Filipino R&B star Dionela, has the honour of being the first ever Official #1 track in the Philippines. The song, released in November 2024, soundtracked the remainder of the year and has continued its strong streaming performance into 2025.
 
Every Tuesday, the most well-liked songs from both domestic and foreign artists will be featured in the Official Philippines Chart Top 20, which is determined by streaming on all major platforms. Music lovers will be able to interact with popular songs and up-and-coming artists throughout the region by accessing the Official Philippines Charts on the Official Southeast Asia Charts website and through the associated social media channels on Facebook and Instagram. The Official Charts for five other ASEAN markets will also be accessible.

Locally, Philippines Recorded Music Rights Inc. (PRM) is working together with IFPI to ensure that the Official Philippines Chart is accessible to Filipino consumers. The charts will be available in their website and all social media platforms.

“We are delighted to announce the launch of the Official Philippines Chart, which will shine a light on the consumption habits of music fans across the country and provide an important platform to showcase the vibrant and growing local music scene. Combining the Official Philippines Chart with others in a regional hub gives fans an insight into how their favourite tracks are performing in other countries, and will aid the discovery of new hits.” ~Roslyn Pineda, General Manager Sony Music Philippines and PRM board member

The Official Philippines Chart, which is backed by the recorded music industry, aggregates streams from international services like YouTube, Spotify, Deezer, and Apple Music. Based on data prepared by BMAT, the charts are managed by IFPI and adhere to the global charts principles and methodologies of IFPI.

As well as the weekly charts updates, music fans in the region can look forward to a host of exclusive artist content at www.officialseacharts.com, the official music hub of Southeast Asia.
