SB19 and A’TIN continued to celebrate on Friday, December 4, as the five-member P-pop group was announced to be part of Billboard’s Top Social 50 Artists list for this year.
Being the only Filipino artists included in the top 10 of the list, SB19 landed on the sixth spot, followed by Tomorrow X Together, ATEEZ, BLACKPINK, and Billie Eilish. BTS ranked first, then EXO, NCT 127, Ariana Grande, and Seventeen.
SB19, composing of Sejun, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin who were trained under a Korean entertainment company, shared this on their official social media accounts, expressing gratitude to Billboard as well as their fans, collectively known as A’TIN.
“Thank you for the recognition, @billboard. And of course, to our beloved A’TIN, thank you for all of the unimaginable plot twists in our life. Too grateful to have you. Stay amazing, guys!” they wrote.

Other songs in “Get In The Zone” were “Alab,” “Tilahula,” “Love Goes,” “Hanggang Sa Huli,” and “Wag Mong Ikunot Ang Iyong Noo.”
