Big Bang’s T.O.P recently came back as a solo artist for the first time in three years with “Doom Dada,” after his solo “Turn It Up” in 2010, and it is utterly dominating the daily music charts.

As soon as the track was released on November 15, it achieved an ‘all-kill’ on ten music sites, hitting number one on all of their real-time music charts. On November 16, it took the number one spots on the daily charts for Melon, Olleh, Bugs, Mnet, Genie, and others.

Moreover, the track is number one on the iTunes singles chart for Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Macao, and Malaysia. He also has a good start in the U.S., in 148th with his new song.

T.O.P wrote “Doom Dada” himself, and co-composed the song with Choice37, who has worked on hit songs like Big Bang’s “Bad Boy” and G-Dragon’s “One of a Kind.

Doom Dada” has rough yet abstract lyrics, and a surreal feel to the track. It perfectly compliments T.O.P’s unique voice, and features an impressive high-speed rap and an addicting hook.

The music video that was released on November 16 through YG’s public blog is, true to the sound of the track, unique and full of eccentric scenes.

The video was directed by Seo Hyun Seung, who recently worked on Taeyang’s recent “Ringa Linga” music video, and is quite the feast for the eyes and ears.

On November 22, at the “2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA)” held in Hong Kong, T.O.P is putting on a fresh and symbolic performance, tracing back human evolution and representing the regression of popular culture.

it's not like being a stan of one entertainment prevents you from stanning a performer from a different one

This guy is a genius. He gives no fucks, does what he wants, cashes those checks, buys some furniture, art, red wine and Thom Browne and is happy with life. The world is yours TOP.

Doom Dada has now dropped to #10 in Melon real time chart though, so it seems the song doesn't have longevity.

I like the MV, but let's not act like if someone like gd, taeyang or CL had released this nonsensical song they wouldn't have gotten trashed for it

the song fits right in with the rest of the shitty solo songs they put out though

No, I probably wouldn't have liked this song with GD/Taeyang's voice tbh.
And I doubt GD would've came up with this mv concept either, so...

I'm talking about the song and not the MV tho? and what I'm saying is the song sucks regardless who's voice is on it

From: [identity profile] hellodee16.livejournal.com
it's fine if you don't like the song at all
I'm just saying I most likely wouldn’t like it too much if it was GD's high voice.
anyway who says ppl aren't trashing Doom Dada? there are plenty of kpop fans who dislike it.

I'm gonna have to listen to it a few more times to see if it'll grow on me like Ringa Linga did. The only solo song from the BB boys (this year) that has hit me instantly has been Gotta Talk To You.

I like the video, though. It's nice and refreshing to see a scenery-driven music video. Not to mention it's kind of batshit weird and I love that.

I feel like Seungri could have done better if GD hadn't released his album like two weeks after...

I hope this convinces YG to finally let him release the music he wants, the world is so in need of it
