In a plot twist worthy of a teleserye cliffhanger, Cup of Joe’s runaway hit “Multo” is creeping closer and closer to OPM immortality. The beloved five-piece band is on the brink of making OPM history, as “Multo” breaks the record for the longest-running #1 song on the Spotify Philippines Daily Chart – a title currently held by Zack Tabudlo’s “Pano.” It’s a moment that not only celebrates Cup of Joe’s meteoric rise but also marks an exciting new chapter for OPM.
Since its release, “Multo” has become a full-blown streaming phenomenon, racking up over 1.18 million streams a day and holding the highest spot for a jaw-dropping 210 days and the #1 spot for 125 days (and counting!). At one point, it even shattered records for the highest single-day streams in Spotify PH history, clocking in at a spooky-good 2.3 million plays in just 24 hours. If that’s not hauntingly impressive, we don’t know what is.
But “Multo” didn’t stop at just local domination. The song also made global waves, becoming the first Filipino act to enter the Billboard Global 200, eventually peaking at #80, a ghostly milestone that proves OPM is no longer just a local love affair. Back home, the track ruled the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 for 10 straight weeks, the longest run in the chart’s history. No need for a séance, Cup of Joe’s star power is very much alive.
Their unique fusion of soul, synth, and aching sincerity strikes a deep chord with a generation all too familiar with heartbreak. “Multo” floats between worlds, just like its title – existing both in your Spotify loop and in the hearts of Joewahs everywhere.
With the record well within reach, Cup of Joe is far from finished. The band is fired up and ready to make waves once again with their upcoming 3-day SOLD OUT Concert titled ‘Stardust’ at the Smart Araneta Coliseum where fans (aka the ever-dedicated Joewahs) are expected to show up, sing loud, and cry harder. Because if “Multo” has taught us anything, it’s that OPM is alive, thriving, and ready to haunt not just our hearts, but also the global stage.
