The sounds of Asia are as diverse and vibrant as the continent itself. From the lively beats of Indonesian pop to the gritty rhymes of Pinoy hip-hop, the region is brimming with musical innovation.
Since 2020, Spotify has helped artists across Asia chart their paths to stardom through RADAR, our global program to support emerging talent. Now we're thrilled to introduce the RADAR Asia class of 2025. Featuring 82 artists, the class represents Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
These artists span a range of styles and genres, reflecting the continent's rich musical landscape. Representing RADAR Indonesia, acts like The Lantis evoke the nostalgia of '80s Indonesian pop, while Aftershine brings the beautiful sound of Javanese pop to the forefront.
RADAR is motivation. It fuels our passion, pushes us to dream bigger, and reminds us that every song we create has the potential to reach someone, somewhere, said indie pop band The Lantis. It's a reminder that our music matters, that our stories resonate, and that there are listeners out there waiting to connect with what we create.
With T-pop on the rise, RADAR Thailand welcomes groups like LYKN and FLIRT, as well as alt-rock duo SHERRY.
We're truly honored to be part of this year's RADAR Thailand lineup, said SHERRY. Spotify is all about its users and creatives. It allows us to highlight our hard work and craft to a bigger audience in Thailand and beyond. We can't wait to show our fans what we have in store for them in 2025.
To the east, RADAR Philippines welcomes Pinoy female rapper Zae and Baguio-raised indie band Dilaw, among others, while pop and hip-hop acts such as nh S ng AZA and CoolKid join RADAR Vietnam.
RADAR , which is dedicated to the wider Mandopop space, welcomes newcomers like AMILI and Eileen Yo . And in Japan, where RADAR is locally known as Early Noise, the 2025 class includes AKASAKI and Billyrrom. Finally, from the home of K-Pop, rookie group MEOVV is RADAR Korea's first featured artist of the year.
Music and culture are always evolving, and at Spotify, we're here to celebrate that, said Kossy Ng, Spotify Head of Music, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong & Taiwan. With RADAR, we're excited to shine a light on the breadth of incredible rising talents in Asia that span different genres and sounds. There's so much to discover and something for everyone. We're committed to supporting artists for the long haul, helping music from Asia reach fans all over the world.
As part of the program, RADAR artists receive Spotify support through a dedicated playlist and special editorial placement. This support is clearly making waves in Asia and beyond. Globally, five of Spotify's top 10 RADAR artists last year came from the Philippines. In Korea, meanwhile, last year's RADAR artists saw a 34% boost in their average daily streams in the six months following their entry into the program. Bernadya is another success story: The 2023 RADAR Indonesia artist experienced a stunning 91% surge in monthly listeners a year after joining the program and became Spotify Indonesia's top artist of 2024. This momentum continues across the region, with our RADAR Vietnam playlist boasting more than 70% international streams.
