Uncle Dags makes yet another win on the Billboard Philippines charts with his song “Viva La Raza” debuting on the Hot 100 at No. 54, while his “1990” makes its way up to No. 61, dated August 29, 2026.
Released on July 31, 2026, “Viva La Raza” is a collaboration between Dags and fellow rapper THUGSTA. Listening to the track, you can see the duo make a fitting – and convenient – match, especially considering the track’s chanting refrains of “Dags, Thugs.” This collaboration was, in fact, not coincidental, but planned from the very beginning, as Dags revealed in an exclusive interview with Billboard Philippines.
Another by Dags, “1990” is currently enjoying its second week on the Hot 100. The track is a noticeable homage to the 2005 Gorillaz track “Feel Good Inc.,” which the song references from its opening maniacal laugh to its bassline. “1990’s” playful references and Dags’ own charm constitute just some of the song’s appeal as it climbs up 20 spots from its previous place at No. 81 last week.
This week, ADÉLA‘s “Ain’t In LA” dominates the charts, climbing all the way to No. 1 and usurping fitterkarma‘s “Kalapastangan,” which currently sits at No. 2. Following this is nicole‘s “Panaginip” at No. 3, Olivia Rodrigo‘s “the cure” at No. 4, and Cup of Joe‘s “Multo” at No. 5.
Completing the lineup are Skusta Clee‘s and Flow G‘s “Since Day One” at No. 6, fitterkarma’s “Pag-Ibig ay Kanibalismo II” at No. 7, Kyle Raphael‘s “Libu-Libong Buwan” at No. 8, Olivia Rodrigo’s “drop dead” at No. 9, and Ariana Grande‘s “hate that i made you love me” at No. 10.
