Never mess with Filipino fans. Their dedication knows no bounds, especially when it comes to A’TIN, the fanbase of Filipino pop band SB19. A’TIN helped SB19 secure the top spot in the 2023 Billboard Fan Army Face-Off, beating out SEVENTEEN’s CARATS in the final round.

A total of 64 fanbases entered the competition, with millions of fans participating to see their artists on top. Artists like Taylor Swift, Adele, and BTS participated in the face-off through their respective fanbases until the armies were whittled down to just the top eight: Cardi B, EXO, Selena Gomez, Nicki Minaj, SB19, SEVENTEEN, Shakira, and Twice.
Throughout the rounds, A’TIN beat the fanbases of Billie Eilish, Ed Sheeran, Lana Del Rey, EXO, and Shakira, until they knocked out SEVENTEEN in the final round.
At this point, SB19 might as well be considered an international group with how often their songs rank and stream abroad. With recent hits like “Gento” taking the world by storm, SB19 is carving a place for itself on the international stage. And now, so is their fanbase A’TIN.
Perhaps in a few years, A’TIN might just become as well-known as the BTS ARMY.
