“Salamin, salamin sa dingding. Nasa amin na talaga ang pag-ibig! Maraming salamat sa OA na suporta,” The group expressed in an Instagram post, along with a fun dance video to their latest hit single “Salamin, Salamin.”
This consistent ascent has propelled the group beyond the three-million mark, surpassing the record set by fellow P-pop sensation SB19 in August 2023, firmly establishing their dominance in the contemporary P-pop scene.
With a staggering total of 99.5 million streams across their discography as of writing, BINI’s infectious summer anthem “Pantropiko” has become a craze, claiming the top spot on Spotify’s “Top Songs PH” chart alongside their other six tracks.

The viral track, which was honored with a tribute on the Sunday variety show ASAP, reminiscent of Sarah Geronimo’s iconic “Tala,” achieved a new daily peak, amassing 815.4K streams and maintaining the No. 1 position for two consecutive days.
Their impact has even drawn comparisons to global icons, with one user humorously remarking on X (formerly Twitter), “BINI survived Taylor Swift in the Philippines,” referring to the release of the Grammy-award-winning singer-songwriter’s highly anticipated album “The Tortured Poets Department.”
