It’s not every day that you witness OPM taking the world by storm, but seeing how juan karlos’ latest single “ERE” climbs higher up the global charts with each passing day, it’s definitely a chart-breaker in the making.
This accomplishment marks the first time in history that a Filipino singer and song had entered Spotify’s Global Charts, with the track debuting at 177th place and 1.22 million streams last October 8, 2023. Just days later, “ERE” eventually reached the Top 100 Chart of the platform, jumping a whopping amount of 90 spots to land in 87th place with 1.45 million streams.
As of October 12, juan karlos’ “ERE” has reached a new peak at 67th place on the global Spotify chart, earning 1.666 million streams –– marking the biggest amount of single-day streams for any Filipino song in history.
This immense feat beats out the all-time stream record for any song on Spotify Philippines in one day, even surpassing its own stream records just a few days back, along with Lola Amour’s viral hit, “Raining in Manila”, and Taylor Swift’s “Mine (Taylor’s Version).
The song’s virality and record-breaking achievements come as no surprise, given that the hit single tackles themes such as the feelings of pain and despair that come with heartbreak. The vulnerability and raw emotion of the lyrics together with juan karlos’ impassioned vocal performance struck a chord with a whole lot of listeners –– enough to gather streams worthy of the global charts.
