The Filipino boy band SB19 have released one studio album, two extended plays (EPs), fifteen singles (including one as a featured artist), and seven promotional singles. With over 100 million streams on Spotify,[1] SB19 is among the most streamed Filipino artists on the platform[2] and have been named one of the most successful acts for promoting P-pop music.[3][4] Their success have led them to achieve international recognition for their work.[5][6]

ShowBT Entertainment, a South Korean talent agency, formed SB19 in 2016 after its members were selected from a talent search that year to undergo training.[7] The boy band's career began with the release of their debut single, "Tilaluha", in 2018, which had a weak reception.[8] They pursued dance-pop sounds in later releases[9] and achieved mainstream success after their second single, "Go Up", went viral on YouTube in 2019.[10] The band signed a recording deal with Sony Music Philippines later that year and released another single, "Alab (Burning)".[11] In 2020, COVID-19 community quarantines in the Philippines led to the release of "Ikako" as a homage to healthcare workers, which was available exclusively on YouTube as a promotional single.[12] Later, the boy band released their debut nine-track studio album, Get in the Zone, in July 2020.[13]

In 2021, SB19 released their first EP, Pagsibol, completely self-written by the band's leader, Pablo,[14] which experimented with different musical styles, such as hip hop and EDM.[5] The EP spawned singles "What?", "Mapa",[15] and "Bazinga",[16] the latter being among the most talked-about songs on Twitter, topping Billboard's Hot Trending Songs chart.[17] Later, SB19 and Ben&Ben collaborated for a "Band Version" remix of "Mapa".[18] Later in the year, the boy band released "No Stopping You" and its remix with Jayda for the Love at First Stream soundtrack[19] and a Christmas single, "Ligaya",[20] and was featured on Ohwon Lee's single "Love Yours".[21] In 2022, SB19 released renditions of the Itchyworms' "Kabataang Pinoy" with Bini and "Win Your Heart" as theme songs for Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity Season 10 – Teen Edition (2022) and Binibining Pilipinas 2022, respectively.[22][23] That same year, they also released "WYAT (Where You At)" and "Nyebe" as standalone singles,[24][25] followed by the release of their cover version of Eraserheads' "Christmas Party".[26]

The boy band continued with similar musical styles from their previous EP and released their second EP, Pagtatag!, in 2023.[27] It spawned their first sales charting single, "Gento", which reached the top 10 in the Philippines and on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart, becoming SB19's first entry to both charts.[28][29][30] The single also made the boy band the first Filipino group to have an entry on the latter.[31] They followed the EP's release with a collaboration with Jvke for the remix of his single "Golden Hour" (2023).[32] The group collaborated with Ian Asher and Terry Zhong for the single "Moonlight" and with apl.de.ap for the single "Ready", both of which was released in 2024.[33][34]
