International Business Times’ K-Wave is giving fans a rundown of SB19’s top 12 most viewed videos on the music streaming giant.

1.

“MAPA” (Official Lyric Video)

With about 89 million views, the emotive ballad “MAPA” reigns at the top of the list. The Filipino-language track translates to “Map” in English and is a combination of the words “mama” and “papa.” The track is dedicated to parents who have served as a “north star” to their children who have lost their way. “MAPA” was released in May 2021.

“Gento” Music Video

In only five months, “Gento’s” official music video has already garnered 31 million views on YouTube. SB19’s TikTok viral track continues to dominate the internet, with several K-Pop stars jumping on its dance challenge. As of late, “Gento” has also been submitted as an entry to the 2024 Grammy Awards.

“What?” Official Music Video

Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken and Justin made the P-Pop (Pinoy-pop) community go “What?” with a more aggressive track that strayed away from their usual dance-pop and ballad style. “What?” is a track that centers on the theme of self-love and empowerment and was written for those who doubted SB19’s success and dreams.

SB19 x Ben&Ben “MAPA (Band Version)”

For the “Band Version” of “MAPA,” SB19 collaborated with another famous Filipino artist, and it’s the folk-pop act Ben&Ben. For their first-ever collaboration, the groups performed the new rendition live at the Manila Metropolitan Theater in the Philippines. Currently, it has 16 million views.

5.

“ALAB (Burning)” Music Video

SB19’s third single, “ALAB (Burning),” was released in December 2019. The MV currently has 14 million views. It was a song about finding a kind of love that fueled more from within. Interestingly, several symbolisms in the music video represented some of the members’ characteristics.

For example, the color red represents Josh’s dominant personality and that he was bothered by the fact that love binds and controls him. For Ken, the black box meant he was trapped in his comfort zone, and destroying it meant he was ready to step out of it for the person he loved.

The green backdrop and picture frames related to Justin as the producers wanted to include his background in art, being a Multimedia Arts degree holder. Yellow represented Stell’s “ray of sunshine” personality, and Pablo chose purple because purple flames were the “hottest kind” — seemingly referring to his type of love.

6.

“Go Up” Official Music Video

“Go Up” is part of SB19’s earlier discographies, though it came a year after the group debuted in 2018. The track was written by Pablo and was produced by South Korean composer Han Tae-soo. The music video has about 13 million views as of press time.

7.

“Gento” Performance Video

The P-Pop sensation released another version of “Gento,” and it’s the performance video to highlight the song’s complex and powerful choreography. The members could be seen dancing atop rocky mountains and what appeared to symbolize a mining facility.

“Bazinga” is among SB19’s best releases that hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Trending Songs chart. It surpassed BTS’ “Butter” as the longest-running top track on the music chart in January 2022. As of late, its music video has about 10 million views.

9.

“Hanggang Sa Huli”

The ballad “Hanggang Sa Huli” — or “until the end” in English — highlighted not only SB19’s vocal ability, but also its power to deliver an emotional track on the unwavering love and loyalty in friendship and the heartbreaking loss of such bond. The music video currently has 6.8 million views on YouTube.
