SexBomb Girls

The SexBomb Girls (also known as SB Girls, SBG, SexBomb Dancers, and now SB NewGen) is a Filipino girl group formed by dance guru Joy Cancio in 1999. Known for their novelty music and stage performances, they are credited as one of the leading figures of the Pinoy pop (P-pop) wave in the Philippines. They rose to fame as dancers of the noontime variety show Eat Bulaga! and eventually branched into singing and acting, becoming the best-selling girl group in Asia in the 2000s, prior to the rise of K-pop. In 2007, they were elevated into the Hall of Fame of the Box Office Entertainment Awards after winning five consecutive times as the "Most Popular Dance Group".

The SexBomb Dancers were originally composed of four dancers upon their formation in November 1999 (Rochelle, Che-che, Debra and Janine) under the name Chicken Sandwich Dancers as the background dancers of Eat Bulaga! and an offshoot of the Danz Focus Dancers (house dancers of the said show). The name "Sex Bomb" came from the 1999 hit song of Tom Jones. Of the four, only Rochelle remained (thus landing her the role and title as the group leader) until the group expanded during the SexBomb dance searches in 2000–2001, reaching an all-time high of 26 members. In 2002, the SexBomb Singers were formed and were billed as "SexBomb Girls" in their shows and promotional materials. Their first studio album, Unang Putok included the hit songs "Bakit Papa?" ("Why Daddy?"), "Crush Kita", "Pretty Little Baby", "Di Ko Na Mapipigilan" ("I Can No Longer Stop") and "Tulog Na Baby" ("Sleep Now Baby"). In 2003, they released their sophomore album entitled Round 2 which featured the hit song "Spageti Song (Pababa nang Pababa) featuring Joey de Leon. In 2004, the SexBomb Girls released their third album entitled Bomb Thr3at featuring the song "Halukay Ube". The SexBomb Dancers did shows and danced to songs from their dance albums, Sexiest Hits (2002), Sexiest Hits 2 (2003) and Sexiest Hits 3 (2004). The SexBomb Singers and Dancers were then collectively referred to as The SexBomb Girls. The SexBomb Girls were managed by Joy Cancio, of Focus Entertainment. Cancio was a former member of the Vicor Dancers of the 1980s.

The group's fame continued to permeate with the said album releases, constant national television show guests, live shows in political campaigns and comedy bars, and their longest drama series on Philippine television, Daisy Siete that ended in July 2010, extending to 26 seasons (a total of almost 7 years). Upon the group's dismissal from their house show Eat Bulaga! in 2011, the SexBomb Girls became freelance and appeared on GMA, ABS-CBN and TV5, while maintaining outside shows. In December 2013, the original members of the dance group went their separate ways.

The group has performed in night shows and concerts at The Library in Malate, Manila, Joketime in Pasay and Cavite, Oblivion Bar and Longue, Dutdutan Tattoo Conventions by Tribal Philippines, Yamaha Philippines, and at Zirkoh and Klownz in Quezon City every week, and also traveled across the country to host festivals, special occasions, and requested town event guest shows.

The SexBomb Girls are managed by Jara Cancio, the daughter of Joy Cancio, and Aira Bermudez (original SexBomb Dancer). The group is known as SexBomb NewGen or SB NewGen to represent the new generation of the SexBomb Girls, producing all-female talents with expertise in dance genres such as hip-hop, contemporary and urban, as well as in singing, slowly deviating from the original group's main focus on novelty and jazz.

According to PARI, Sexbomb Girls is the best selling girl group of the decade (2000s) in the Philippines by selling over 12 million records (4 studio albums, 4 compilation albums and Christmas singles)

As of August 4, 2017, it was announced that SB NewGen would be co-managed in unison by J Entertainment and Viva Artists Agency.

In 2023, The original SexBomb Dancers Rochelle Pangilinan, Jopay Paguia, Che-Che Tolentino, Sunshine Garcia, Mia Pangyarihan, and Johlan Veluz reunited when online streaming giant Netflix announced their new subscription rate in a new advert. They reprised ‘The Spageti Song’ with new lyrics.
