Dionela is back on top.
As of this week (dated December 28, 2024), the Filipino R&B singer-songwriter has scored another Philippines Hot 100 No. 1 hit with “Marilag.” After climbing through the chart’s top 10 for the last couple of weeks, the viral love song has now claimed the top spot overtaking Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “luther,” which now sits at No. 2.
“Marilag” comes as the latest addition to Dionela’s string of single releases. Since its arrival last November, the song has made its rounds on social media and is even currently holding the No. 1 spot on Billboard Philippines‘ Top Philippine Songs chart.
This marks Dionela’s second No. 1 song, following “sining” which held on to the top spot on the coveted music chart for seven consecutive weeks last July. The song – which features Filipino R&B icon Jay R – currently sits at No. 5 this week; while another one of Dionela’s hit, “Oksihina” ranks at No. 8. Beyond his top 10 entries, Dionela’s “Musika” and “Hoodie” also rank at No. 33 and No. 69 respectively.
The rest of this week’s top 10 sees Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With A Smile” at No. 3, Rosé and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” at No. 4, and Billie Eilish’s “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” at No. 6. While TJ Monterde and KZ Tandingan’s “Palagi”, Yung Kai’s “Blue”, and Maki’s “Dilaw” rounds out the top 10, placing at No. 7, No. 9, and No. 10 respectively.
The Billboard Philippines Hot 100 ranks the biggest songs in the country, based on streaming data (both audio and video) collected by data provider Luminate. The chart encompasses tracks by both Filipino and international acts. The Hot 100 is one of Billboard Philippines‘ official music charts, alongside the Top Philippine Songs chart. Both charts are updated weekly every Wednesday.
