The 2024 MYX Music Awards made an electrifying comeback after a three-year hiatus, celebrating the very best in OPM and global music. Held at the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center, the event was a night to remember, with show-stopping performances, heartfelt speeches, and a resounding message: OPM is thriving like never before.
While every winner deserved the spotlight, three awards stood out as the pinnacle of this year’s event: Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Music Video of the Year. Let’s break down these highlights and why they matter.
SB19: Artist of the Year
The title of Artist of the Year went to none other than SB19, a group that has become synonymous with excellence in music and performance. SB19’s journey from underdogs to global icons has been nothing short of inspiring.
In 2024, the quintet dominated the airwaves with hits like I Want You, Gento, and Liham. Their international tours saw sold-out arenas in countries like the U.S., Japan, and Brazil, proving that their influence transcends language and borders.
Their artistry is evident in their ability to evolve while staying true to their roots. Fans, lovingly known as A’TIN, have been instrumental in their success, but it’s SB19’s relentless drive, talent, and charisma that have kept them on top. The MYX Music Awards is just the latest testament to their unmatched artistry.
In their acceptance speech, the group thanked their fans and emphasized the importance of hard work and collaboration. “This is for everyone who believes in Filipino talent,” they said, solidifying their role as ambassadors of OPM.
BINI: Song of the Year – Pantropiko
BINI’s Pantropiko claimed Song of the Year, marking a milestone for the group that’s been dubbed the “Nation’s Girl Group.” The track is a shimmering ode to summer, complete with infectious beats and lyrics that evoke images of tropical paradises and carefree adventures.
The song quickly became a favorite on social media, inspiring countless dance challenges and TikTok trends. But it’s more than just a catchy tune. Pantropiko encapsulates BINI’s growth as artists, blending youthful energy with polished production and heartfelt storytelling.
Fans raved about the track’s relatable theme of longing for escape and happiness in a fast-paced world. Its message resonated deeply, earning it a spot as a summer anthem and, now, the prestigious Song of the Year award.
BINI expressed gratitude to their fandom, Blooms, for their unwavering support. “This song is for everyone who dreams of endless summers and chasing joy,” they shared.
Music Video of the Year: Moonlight
In a fiercely competitive category, Moonlight by Ian Asher, SB19, and Terry Zhong triumphed as Music Video of the Year. Directed with stunning visual artistry, the music video combines dreamlike imagery, poignant storytelling, and a killer track that transcends genres.
Moonlight is a collaboration that defies expectations. Ian Asher’s knack for creating atmospheric music blends seamlessly with SB19’s powerhouse vocals and Terry Zhong’s innovative style. The result is a masterpiece that feels both intimate and universal.
The video itself is a feast for the senses, exploring themes of love, loss, and hope. Its cinematography, choreography, and emotional depth drew praise from fans and critics alike. Within days of its release, it amassed millions of views on YouTube, proving its global appeal.
SB19 reflected on the creative process during their acceptance speech. “This wasn’t just a music video for us. It was a story we wanted to share with the world,” they said. Ian Asher and Terry Zhong also shared their excitement, calling it a “career-defining moment.”
