Weekly Philippine music chart by Billboard magazine
Philippines Songs was a music record chart in the Philippines, compiled by Billboard since February 2022. Updated every Tuesday on Billboard's website, the chart was announced on February 14, 2022 as part of Billboard's Hits of the World chart collection, ranking the top 25 songs weekly in more than 40 countries around the globe.[3] This was the first local Billboard chart in the Philippines since the discontinuation of the Philippine Hot 100 and four other charts after Billboard Philippines halted its operation for an undisclosed reason on January 15, 2018.[4]
The first number-one song on the chart was "Pano" by Zack Tabudlo on the issue dated February 19, 2022.[5][6][7]
"Mahika" by Adie & Janine Berdin was the longest-running song on the chart with 72 weeks, ending its run on December 16, 2023.[8]Taylor Swift was the artist with the most entries overall, having 72 songs charted by the week dated May 4, 2023.[1][9]
The magazine published the last issue of the chart on June 18, 2024, for the week of June 29, with Maki's "Dilaw" as the number-one song.[10] On July 1, Billboard Philippines discontinued the chart in preparation for the relaunch of the Philippines Hot 100 chart and the introduction of the new Top Philippine Songs chart. The two new charts begin on July 3, with rankings updated every Wednesday.[11]

Out of the ten number-one songs in the calendar year, six singles debuted at the top spot.

Adie and Janine Berdin's "Mahika" was the first Filipino duet to reach the summit, allowing Berdin to be the first Filipina to lead the chart.[14][20][21] Blackpink's "Shut Down" debuted at number one in October, ending the run of their own "Pink Venom", both from the album Born Pink.[22][23] The feat made Blackpink the first act to replace themselves at number one, and the only act in 2022 to produce multiple number-one songs.[24][25]
