Arthur Miguel makes his Billboard Philippines debut on this week’s episode of Soundwave.
Available exclusively on TikTok, the singer-songwriter performed his trending song, “Lihim” (Secret). As of today (October 23), the track is on the eighth spot on Spotify’s Top 50 charts for the Philippines. “Lihim” debuted at No. 23 on the Billboard Philippines Songs charts and currently occupies the 13th spot on the chart.
Arthur Miguel is the second artist to perform on Soundwave. Last week, Billboard Philippines’ debut cover stars SB19 performed their chart-topping hit “GENTO,” which is currently up for consideration for the upcoming GRAMMY Awards.
Soundwave is the media platform’s show that showcases the trending songs in today’s music industry. The other flagship programs of Billboard Philippines’ media channels include Studios, which features reimagined versions of an artist’s biggest hits, and Volumes, a podcast that goes behind the music and highlights the stories of different Filipino artists.
“Billboard Philippines aims to help elevate local acts through various platforms,” explains Billboard Philippines’ Executive Producer Paolo Valenciano. “Aside from articles and features in the magazine, we also wanted to give these artists a platform to be heard. Many Filipino musicians are now gaining global recognition, and we want to create a space where you can discover and rediscover both established and up-and-coming artists. The Media Channels is that platform.”
Last week, each show was finally launched, with Ena Mori opening up about her creative process in the first episode of Volumes, and Regine Velasquez-Alcasid performing “Araw Gabi” (Day and Night), “Hinahanap Hanap Kita” (Looking For You), and “Dadalhin” (Bring) on Studios.
Episodes of Soundwave are uploaded on TikTok every Monday. Episodes of Volumes are uploaded on Spotify every Wednesday, while episodes of Studios premiere on YouTube every second and last Friday of the month.
