As a testament to their impactful presence in the modern music scene and Philippine culture as a whole, BINI have been named members of this year’s Forbes Asia’s 30 Under 30 list. The list presents itself as an annual commemoration of young individuals making an impact in their respective fields, initiating change and representing their generation as trailblazers.
In BINI’s profile for the 30 Under 30 list, it was written, “The eight-girl pop sensation kicked off back in February its 15-city world tour with a sold-out concert at home, packing excited fans into the 50,000-seat Philippine Arena north of Manila. Last year, it won Best Asia Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards and Billboard K Power 100’s Voices of Asia award at its Seoul event.” They add, “In March, Billboard Philippines named the eight members its Women of the Year as their top songs surpassed a billion streams on Spotify.”
Earning their title of the Nation’s Girl Group, BINI have been making waves throughout the past year as trailblazers for Philippine pop, earning the title of Philippines’ No. 1 Artist of 2024. From occupying multiple spots on Billboard Philippines‘ 2024 Year-End Top Philippine Songs chart to selling out the largest indoor arena in the world — the Philippine Arena, the group have been drawing attention to the potential that Filipino music holds.
On that right, Billboard Philippines also awarded the group as Women of 2024 at the prestigious Women In Music: The Executive Edition last March 28, 2025, honored alongside the most of powerful and influential executives in Filipino music. Additionally, last August 8, 2024, the group was bestowed The Voice of Asia Award alongside SB19 at Billboard K POWER 100, in Korea.
Other Filipinos who were distinguished on this year’s list are illustrator Renren Galeno, entrepreneur Ysabel Chua and chess prodigy Daniel Quizon.
Last year on the Forbes Asia 30 Under 30, Filipino-American rapper, Ez Mil, was one of the seven Filipinos to be recognized on the list. Celebrated for bringing Filipino talent and songwriting to international attention, the “Panalo” hitmaker was commemorated for his contributions to the Philippine music scene.
