Charting on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 is one thing, but maintaining strong staying power over the course of, say, a whopping 100 weeks is another.
Since the chart’s inception in July 2024, few songs have truly captured the hearts and ears of Filipino listeners through consistent streaming and repeat plays. This is actually a testament to how these songs have truly resonated and can stand the test of time, even years after their release.
As of the chart (dated May 30, 2026), here are the songs that have stayed on the Hot 100 the longest — from tried-and-true karaoke favorites to modern hugot earworms.
#22: The Script — “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” (peak position: #14)
For The Script, the Philippines truly holds a special place. The Irish pop-rock band’s hits have resonated with many Filipinos, even now in the age of digital streaming. At No. 22, “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” maintains a steady presence. The second single from the band’s self-titled debut album, the song has since become a heartbreak anthem for yearners, even today. With the band returning to the stage for their Man in the Arena Tour in March 2027, we’re sure this song will be sung the loudest across the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
#28: UDD — “Unti-Unti” (peak position: #25)
Coming in at No. 28 is “Unti-Unti” by UDD (formerly known as Up Dharma Down). Filipinos love to revel in sadness and yearn over a relationship’s end. Well, it’s all part of the healing process — feeling all the emotions and facing them head (and ears) first. With this song all about how a relationship ends little by little, gradually, and in diminishing ways, there’s something about the in-between that makes us stay and struggle to move forward. With the track carrying a sense of hope amid uncertain finality, we’re pretty sure this song won’t leave the chart anytime soon.
#36: Arthur Nery — “Isa lang” (peak position: #10)
Arthur Nery is no stranger to the Philippines Hot 100 chart. After all, as a modern R&B and neo-soul crooner in OPM, most of his songs have left a mark on many listeners. Placing at No. 36, “Isa lang,” released in 2021, is an intense and exclusive love and devotion towards “the one.” Love and dating in the age of social media, amid all the distractions, temptations, and noise — wanting one person and wanting to be that one person’s only choice may have become a lost art.
#45: UDD — “Tadhana” (peak position: #15)
How could we forget UDD’s “Tadhana” — another yearning staple that has never left many curated playlists and has continued to haunt those who may have dedicated this song to someone from their past? After returning to the chart the previous week, the song is one of the few that has reached the 100-week mark, and for good measure. As soon as 10:00 PM hits, you know this song starts soundtracking many bedrooms and late-night car rides.
#60: Billie Eilish — “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” (peak position: #2)
Last but not least, at No. 60, is “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” by Billie Eilish. Released in 2024 as a single from her acclaimed third record, Hit Me Hard And Soft, the track continues to be an anthem for expressing love and devotion, reflecting the ups and downs of life shared. It captures the relatable feeling of having someone by your side through thick and thin, and the Grammy-winning artist best expresses this through an undeniably catchy track.
