Philippines’ record-breaking girl group, BINI, is back with their highly anticipated single, “Blink Twice,” now available on all major streaming platforms. Their previous single, “Cherry On Top,” amassed over 100 million combined global audio/video streams, demonstrating the group’s growing popularity. The Philippines is emerging as the newest frontier in “Asian pop,” with the octet standing as pioneers of the rapidly rising genre. Boasting over one billion streams, they have proven their popularity in the international space with a rapidly expanding fanbase.
Their unique ability to combine relatable themes with irresistible melodies solidifies them as a staple in playlists across the world. Fueled by a catchy beat, playful lyrics, and BINI’s signature charm, “Blink Twice” is destined to become a fan favorite. It is a perfect blend of excitement, confusion, and anticipation of waiting for a sign, like a simple blink, that your feelings are reciprocated. This release adds to their ever-growing list of achievements, proving their name as “The Nation’s Girl Group” in the Philippines.
To further their global ascent, they collaborated with AGNEZ MO, Asia’s most highly awarded recording artist and actress with over 350 accolades and 60 million followers across social platforms. The track, “Cherry On Top (BiniMo Remix)“, which brings together the talents of two of Southeast Asia’s iconic female artists, has captivated fans worldwide and further established the group’s reputation as a rising force in the international music scene. Last summer, they became the first Filipino pop group to perform at KCON in Los Angeles, the world’s largest Korean culture and music festival with over 5.9 million attendees. Their appearance broke records with the hashtag #BINIatKCONLA2024 trended at #5 worldwide on X during the event. Viral TikTok collaborations with global acts such as ENHYPEN and KATSEYE boosting their presence, broadening their fanbase all over the globe, and accumulating over one billion likes on the platform. The BINIverse tour has been a massive success, selling over 100,000 tickets across the Philippines and Canada, with plans for a world tour to be announced soon.
This past year, BINI has reached monumental milestones including becoming the first Filipino group to win Best Asia Act at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and Spotify’s Global Breakout Artist. While visiting Los Angeles last year, over 500 fans (affectionately known as BLOOMs) gathered within an hour’s notice to watch their favorite musical act’s surprise performance aboard the iconic Wish Bus. Their electrifying performance and their engagement with fans at KCON can be relived in this recap video. Further securing their place in pop culture, the collective was recently spotlighted in Grammy.com’s “14 Pinoy Acts You Should Know” and Billboard’s “Global No. 1’s.”
