Filipino singer Mariah Deborah has become the first female OPM artist to enter the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, with her viral hit “Na Para Bang” debuting at No. 106 on the ranking dated Oct. 24, 2026.


Deborah joins fellow Filipino artists whose songs have entered the international chart, including Cup of Joe’s “Multo,” which debuted at No. 74 in 2025; Earl Agustin’s “Tibok,” which entered at No. 144 in 2025; and Juan Karlos’ “Ere,” which debuted at No. 138 in 2023.

Launched in 2020, the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart ranks songs based on streaming and digital sales activity across more than 200 territories, excluding the United States. The rankings are compiled using data from Luminate.

Released in February 2026, “Na Para Bang” has also topped the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 and Top Philippine Songs charts for the week dated Oct. 24.

The song has gained international traction on streaming platforms, peaking at No. 65 on Spotify’s Global chart and reaching No. 1 in the Philippines. It also climbed to No. 2 in the United Arab Emirates and No. 102 in Singapore, while reaching No. 5 on Apple Music Philippines.
