This year saw fresh debuts, epic comebacks, and songs of all genres deepen and diversify the state of P-pop in the Philippines. Talented artists have come together to make great music accompanied by great concepts and promotional periods that got us tuned in. We saw young, driven groups like HORI7ON and AJAA debut, and we witnessed some record-breaking comebacks like SB19’s Pagtatag! with megahit Gento and BINI’s Karera.
From simple singles to full-on eras by soloists and groups, upbeat pop sounds to gritty, edgy rock tracks, these P-pop comebacks served to show the growth and passion these artists have for music, and the journeys they wish to continue taking.
It was tricky to determine which comebacks or tracks would make the list, so tag us on social media @nylonmanila if you’ve got any favorites that didn’t make the cut! In the meantime, take your time, watch and listen to some great music, and determine which of these P-pop groups’ comebacks was your favorite this 2023. Voting ends December 31, 11:59 PM.
