MANILA, Philippines — Billboard Music Awards has officially announced the opening of voting for the category of Top Social Artist recently, where P-Pop super group SB19 already made a historic milestone for the Philippines as the first Southeast Asian and Filipino act to be nominated for.
Fans can both cast their vote through the website: billboard.com/BBMAsVote as well as sending that vote on Twitter. To vote on Twitter, tweets must include the hashtag #BBMAsTopSocial along with the tag of @SB19Official. Twitter votes must be from public accounts and users can only vote for one finalist and one category at a time. A retweet of a valid vote from public accounts also counts as a vote, subject to daily vote limits.
The iconic quintet’s surge in popularity is no small thanks to their laser-sharp precision in their dance moves and pitch-perfect live performances, amassing an impressive army of supporters, more commonly known today as the A’Tin.
Proving their stake as P-Pop royalty, just this March, the group has, yet again, demolished records with the highly-anticipated release of the song “What?” which marked the first of the line-up of tracks featured on their upcoming sophomore album, set for release in June. Earlier this month, the group has also teased on the coming release of follow-up single, “Mapa”, set to be unveiled on May 16, 2021.
In true iconic fashion, SB19 has just become the first Filipino and Southeast Asian act to be nominated at the BBMA’s, a category dominated by Korean pop group BTS since 2017. This year’s nomination saw SB19 compete alongside big stars BTS, Blackpink, Ariana Grande, and Seventeen.
You can vote up to 10x per day, per category, and given platform. Make sure to vote for SB19 until voting officially closes on May 22 2:59:59 PM PHT.
