Source-derived summary

The Official Southeast Asia Charts (shortened to the Official SEA Charts) are a collection of record charts launched in 2025 by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). Based on data from BMAT, the charts reflect the 20 most-streamed songs in six Southeast Asian (SEA) countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

History

The Official SEA Charts were launched on 23 January 2025 by the IFPI in collaboration with national music industry associations in Indonesia (ASIRI), Malaysia (RIM), Singapore (RIAS), and Thailand (TECA). The charts are rebrands of existing ones in the aforementioned four countries. Meanwhile, the Philippine and Vietnamese charts are the first industry-backed charts in those two countries.

Charts

The Official SEA Charts include six charts for all songs and four top-ten charts for regional or local songs.

Malaysia: Official Malaysia Chart

Philippines: Official Philippines Chart

Singapore: Official Singapore Chart

Methodology

All charts track streams from Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify, and YouTube Music, with Indonesia charts also tracking LangitMusik. Streams are weighted to take into account differences between streams from free or paid accounts. Data from BMAT are collected weekly from Friday to Thursday, with charts of the 20 most-streamed songs published the following Tuesday on the official website and social media platforms. Music downloads and purchases of physical music do not count towards the charts, and different versions or remixes of songs are grouped together for charting purposes.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Official Southeast Asia Charts” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Official, Southeast and Asia provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 9, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q131868694. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
