Will SB19’s A’TIN Tie T-ara’s Queens for Most Fan Army Face-Off Victories?

No matter whose fan army is victorious in the 2025 Billboard Fan Army Face-Off, history will be made. If SB19’s fan army, A’TIN, wins, it will be their third victory, tying T-ara’s Queens for the most wins since the nearly annual competition originated in 2014. (The competition wasn’t held in 2019 or 2021).

If Sabrina Carpenter’s Carpenters, Selena Gomez’s Selenators or Miley Cyrus’s Smilers prevail, it will be the first time that the fan army for an American artist – or for an artist from anywhere other than Southeast Asia – has won. (SB19 is a Filipino group. All the previous winners hailed from South Korea.) It would also be the first time that the fan army for a solo artist has won. All the previous winners were fan armies for groups.

All four artists have had notable chart success. SB19’s “Dam” reached No. 4 on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 in March. Carpenter, Gomez and Cyrus have each landed No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 during their careers.

The number of fan armies in this competition (which was 64 at the outset on July 14) narrowed from eight to four on Monday Aug. 11 at noon ET. Semifinals voting is now live and wraps on Friday, Aug. 15, at noon ET – at which point the number of fan armies still standing will drop from four to two for the finals.
