TJ Monterde continues to make waves in the OPM scene. After three sold-out concerts at the Smart Araneta Coliseum from February 1-3, he officially became the most-streamed Filipino artist on Spotify for the first time.

A Historic Milestone in OPM

His record-breaking achievements include:

  • First solo male artist to sell out the Big Dome for three consecutive nights.
  • His song “Palagi,” featuring KZ Tandingan, hit one billion streams on Spotify.
  • Billboard Philippines recognized “Palagi” as the No. 1 song of 2024 on both the Top Philippine Songs and Hot 100 charts.

These milestones solidify the 35-year-old singer as a leading figure in the recording and concert industry.

More than 100 celebrities and artists attended TJ’s historic concert run. Some of the biggest names in entertainment showed their support, including:

  • Actors: Michael Sager, Jillian Ward, Miles Ocampo, Elijah Canlas, Maymay Entrata, Barbie Forteza, Sam Milby, and Marvin Agustin.

Prior to the concerts, allchartsPH reported that TJ’s total Spotify streams across all credits had surpassed one billion. Following the final show, Smart Araneta Coliseum officially recognized him as the first Filipino solo male artist to achieve three consecutive sold-out nights at the venue.
