These artists paved the way for a new breed of Philippine pop acts that would gain national recognition in the following decade.

The new millennium saw a renewed interest in Philippine pop music with films such as “Heneral Luna” (2015) and “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral” (2018) introducing new audiences to Pinoy pop classics from the 1970s and 1980s. In recent years there has also been a resurgence of traditional OPM sounds with bands like IV Of Spades , Ben&Ben , UDD , December Avenue gaining popularity both locally and internationally. Today Pinoy pop music continues to evolve with new artists making their mark on the genre while still paying homage to its rich history.
The influence of American pop

In the early days of Philippine pop music, a lot of the songs were adaptations of American hits. Over time, however, Filipino musicians have developed their own sound and style, creating a vibrant and exciting music scene.
