Given that the data was only from 2023 and beyond, it fails to bring the whole picture of when OPM started becoming stronger.
By 2019, there already has been a huge shift towards local music as noted in Rappler.
>And data shows the genre is gaining popularity – as of January 1, 2019, OPM content has garnered close to 10 billion streams on Spotify. Spotify recently took a look at music that young Filipinos (18 to 24 year olds) were discovering on its platform and found that 80% of the top 20 most-discovered were OPM artists.
Spotify entered the Philippines in 2014 and in just less than 5 years, OPM had a total of 10B streams
We also have a good number of OPM hits pre-2024 - Buwan, Kathang Isip, Pasilyo, Pano, Binibini, etc. People forget that Moira, Ben&Ben and Zack Tabudlo were very popular before 2023.
I know there's the 100-300mm but the reviews don't seem to be great
Mahirap na, kalabang yung Golden. Pero oka na may OPM na nominated.
I have been looking at the Official Charts in Southeast Asia and I am quite surprised that BTS songs slid down the top 5 of the charts in most of Southeast Asia. The initial steam and curiosity seem to not have staying power. It's the same with the Black Pink latest EP.

Do SEAns feel alienated by K-pop's focus on the West?
Hindi makanumber one ang Kpop at K-pop adjacent sa PH Charts
Di nakanumber one ang Golden last year dahil sa Multo. Ngayon, di makanumber one ang Swim ng BTS dahil sa Lifetime ng Ben&Ben
