SB19 are one step closer to making Billboard Fan Army Face-Off history after advancing to the online tournament’s quarterfinals, driven by the relentless voting strength of their fandom, A’TIN.
The annual competition began on July 15, 2026 with a diverse lineup of 64 artists representing mainstream pop, hip-hop, R&B, K-pop, P-pop, and more. Following three rounds of weekly head-to-head voting, which concluded on August 6, 2026 at 12:00 AM PHT, only eight artists remain in contention for the title.
Joining SB19 in the quarterfinals are Bad Bunny, Bebe Rexha, Benson Boone, Bruno Mars, Harry Styles, Olivia Rodrigo, and Zara Larsson. Throughout the tournament, A’TIN successfully moved the five-member act past Hilary Duff, Megan Thee Stallion, and Melanie Martinez. The P-pop powerhouse now faces Zara Larsson, with quarterfinal voting running until August 13, 2026 at 12:00 AM PHT.
As the reigning champions, SB19 are aiming for a fourth consecutive Fan Army Face-Off title. A’TIN’s three-year winning streak ties the all-time record previously set by T-ara’s Queens from 2015 to 2017. Another championship win would allow SB19 and their fans to stand alone as the competition’s most successful fan army in Billboard history.
Just last week, the Kings of P-pop delivered a groundbreaking debut performance at Lollapalooza, released their latest single “LAWLESS,” and are now preparing to represent the Philippines once again at Summer Sonic 2026 in Japan alongside fellow Filipino acts BINI and ena mori.
