The IFPI, or International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which represents the recording industry worldwide, launched 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 honor of being the first ever official No. 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.

The Official Philippines Chart Top 20 will be announced every Tuesday, and will showcase the most popular tracks from local and international artists based on streaming across all major platforms.
The Official Philippines Charts will be available alongside Official Charts for five other ASEAN markets (Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam) at the Official Southeast Asia Charts website (www.officialseacharts.com), and via the related social media channels on Instagram and Facebook, allowing music fans to engage with trending tracks and emerging artists across the region.
In the country, the 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 on its website (www.prm.com.ph) and all social media platforms.
“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,” said Simon Seow, regional director for Southeast Asia at IFPI.
Roslyn Pineda, general manager Sony Music Philippines and PRM board member, said, “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 favorite tracks are performing in other countries, and will aid the discovery of new hits.”
Supported by the recorded music industry, The Official Philippines Chart combines streams from global platforms Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify and YouTube.
The charts are managed by IFPI and are built on data prepared by BMAT, in accordance with IFPI’s global charts principles and methodologies.
Last year, IFPI named Seventeen's "FML" as No. 1 in Global Album Sales Chart in 2023.
