It's a proud week for Pinoys all over the world because Sean Patrick Ramos, known professionally as Shanti Dope, has made it to Billboard's World Digital Songs Sales chart! 

In a tweet on April 13, Billboard announced that Shanti Dope's "Amatz" debuted in the list at the 10th spot, joining the ranks of BTS' "Film Out," Hoshi's "Spider," and Chanyeol's "Tomorrow", all of which made this week's top 10. The Filipino rapper marked the massive achievement by sharing a post from his manager, Thea Gomez Pollisco, on social media with the caption: "Worldwide type of shiii 🚀"

Just a couple of weeks ago, Shanti Dope’s "Amatz” was featured in the third episode of "Falcon and the Winter Soldier," the latest Marvel offering on Disney+. 

Watch the scene below:

Shanti Dope released "Amatz" in 2019, following the success of his debut single, "Nadarang." The song had been criticized by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) for allegedly encouraging the use of marijuana, just as government pursued a fierce drug war. The Filipino rapper has said the song should be taken in full context in response to this matter.
