It’s as if Spotify took inspiration from our playlists and brought it to life for everyone to enjoy. A night filled with OPM classics, Ppop, Kalye hits, and musical artists all in one place—that’s how the Spotify PH Lounge came to be.

Celebrating its 10th year in the Philippines, Spotify Southeast Asia’s Head of Music, Kossy Ng, reminisced about the first time they launched the popular streaming app in the country. "It was quite emotional for me as I was part of the team that launched Spotify here in the Philippines. We were able to witness firsthand the tremendous growth in this market, especially in the local music scene," Ng said.

Since a decade has passed, it was only fitting to celebrate this milestone with amazing live performances. Ben&Ben performed their most streamed song on Spotify, "Kathang Isip," which has amassed 295,552,501 streams as of this writing. Their upcoming song, "Triumph," from their unreleased album also debuted at the Spotify PH Lounge. RADAR artists Illest Morena and Maki also took the stage.
