SB19’s A’TIN Sets New Record for Most Billboard Fan Army Face-Off Victories: Full List of Winners
SB19's fanbase, A'TIN, won the 2026 Billboard Fan Army Face-Off on 21 August, defeating Harry Styles' fans, the Harries, in the final. It marks A'TIN's fourth consecutive win, moving them ahead of T-ara's Queens (three consecutive wins, 2015-2017) for the most victories since the competition began in 2014. The result also means a fan army representing an Asian act has won every edition of the contest to date, with SB19 being the first Filipino winner after a run of South Korean acts.
A'TIN saw off Hilary Duff's, Megan Thee Stallion's and Melanie Martinez's fanbases in the opening rounds, before beating Zara Larsson's fans in the quarter-finals and Benson Boone's in the semi-finals ahead of the final against the Harries. SB19, a five-member boy band from Manila made up of Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken and Justin, debuted in 2018 and has previously beaten the fan armies of SEVENTEEN, Rihanna and Selena Gomez in past face-offs (2023-2025). The group has yet to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, though its single "Dam" reached number four on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 in March 2025.
In short
- A'TIN, SB19's fanbase, wins 2026 Billboard Fan Army Face-Off, beating Harry Styles' fans
- Fourth straight win gives A'TIN the record for most victories overall
- First time an Asian act's fan army has topped every edition of the contest
Explained simply
SB19 is a five-member pop group from Manila, formed in 2018. Its supporters are known as A’TIN, and the fanbase has taken part in Billboard’s annual Fan Army Face-Off, a competition in which artists’ supporters vote against one another.
The contest began in 2014 and has included fan communities from around the world. Before A’TIN’s run, T-ara’s Queens held the record with three consecutive wins; earlier editions were won by fanbases supporting South Korean acts.
The results show how organised fan communities can draw attention to artists beyond their home markets. SB19 has not yet appeared on the US Billboard Hot 100, though its song “Dam” reached number four on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100.
