They are known for the hit novelty songs "Spageti Song", "Bakit Papa" ("Why Father?") and "Bilog na Hugis Itlog" ("Egg-shaped Circle") that were certified platinum in the Philippines. The music video of "Bilog na Hugis Itlog" aimed to educate Filipino voters on the new procedure implemented in the 2010 Philippine general election. The SexBomb Girls' Round 2 album has sold 150,000 copies in the Philippines, becoming the best-selling album by a female group in Philippine music history. They have sold over 555,000 copies of albums in the Philippines, making them the Philippines' best-selling female group of all time. In 2008, the Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation, Inc. Awards recognized them as "The Most Popular Dance Group".

They are well known for their chant, "Get, get aww!" They were once mainstay dancers for Eat Bulaga!, the longest noontime variety show in the Philippines. The group was a mainstay dancer in Happy Truck ng Bayan every Sunday on TV5; some members also appear in Banana Split on ABS-CBN. They perform in shows and concerts at The Library in Malate and at Zirkoh and Klownz in Quezon City.

History

The group began in November 11, 1999 as the Chicken Sandwich Dancers which was an offshoot of the Danz Focus (house dancers of Eat Bulaga). At first there were four (Cheryl, Debra, Janine and Rochelle). The group expanded to seven with the addition of Jopay, Aira, and Miavelle Pangyarihan. The group continued to expand (during their first FHM appearance), and so on. The entertainer's fame continued to permeate with constant show guestings, outside shows, and their longest drama on television, Daisy Siete.

The SexBomb Girls are currently under J Entertainment (beginning January 2014), along with the Philippine Island Assassin, managed by Jara Cancio, the daughter of Joy Cancio, and Aira Bermudez. Now, the renowned group is known as SexBomb NewGen.

SexBomb Singers

The SexBomb Girls is known not only for their legendary strength in dancing and acting, but also for their versatility in singing. The first trial of a singing SexBomb subgroup consisted of six-members: Rochelle, Jopay, Weng, Evette (discovered in Eat Bulaga's "Ikaw at Echo" portion), Sugar, and AB. This first batch of singers was able to release an album entitled, "Sexiest Hits Album 1" in early 2002.

With the departure of Sugar and AB for the Gee Girls, Izzy and Monic were placed in the singing subgroup. Rochelle, Jopay, Weng, Evette, Izzy, and Monic were then separated from the SexBomb Dancers and called the "SexBomb Girls" in mid-2002 from whom the 4xPlatinum "Unang Putok," Gold "Wish Ko Sa Pasko," and 5xPlatinum "Round 2" albums were released. Selling over 555,000 copies of albums in the Philippines, it gave the SexBomb Girls the title of, "Philippines' best-selling female group of all time."

In 2004, the half-Egyptian Mariam Al-Obaidi was included in the SexBomb Singers roster and even becoming part of 2xPlatinum "Bomb Thr3at" album. With Mariam leaving a few months after to join the Wowowee Girls and followed by Monic in 2005 to pursue business, new members Danielle Ramirez and Jovel Palomo were made to be a singing duo called the "DJ Bomb" from whom the songs, "Kutob," "Kaibigan" and "Pangarap" were released. Also, Che-Che was made a SexBomb Singer for the 2005 Platinum "Sumayaw, Sumunod."

As the original SexBomb Singers began to part ways with Evette, Jopay, and the DJ Bomb leaving in 2010, and Weng, Monic (returned in 2008),Izzy And Also Rochelle(One Of Four Original) in 2011, a new singing subgroup named "Daisies" was formed in 2011 who popularized the single, "Take One" for Daisy Siete. The Daisies consisted of Louise, Mhyca, Cheche (replaced Shane Gonzales who went back to studying), Jomarie, Jaja (discovered in a YouTube video), and later on Dona (grand champion of Danz Showdown).

The title "Daisies" slowly faded away and they became known as the "New Generation SexBomb Singers" (Louise, Jaja, Dona, Jomarie) in 2012 where they regularly performed Beyoncé and Adele hits in their shows such as Zirkoh and Klownz. With the departure of Jaja and Jomarie in mid-2014, the newest batch of SexBomb Singers under J Entertainment was formed in late 2014.

In late 2014, a tripartite singing subgroup consisting of Louise Bolton, Dona Veliganio, and Joyce Canimo became known as "SexBomb GKiss." Evolution and development of SexBomb fierceness was fully represented by GKiss who not only sing, but also perform with their powerhouse moves and incredibly flexible stunts. In summer 2015, SexBomb GKiss was re-rostered with SexBomb Louise, Ynna and Angel along with new member Hershey Delas Alas (original Mocha Girl). In Fall 2015, Ynna and Angel were replaced by original SexBomb Jacky to form the new tripartite GKiss: Louise, Jacky and Hershey. However with Hershey's leave in late 2015, GKiss was removed from the SexBomb NewGen roster.

As of 2016, there is no exclusive singing subgroup of the SexBomb Girls.
