K-pop Chart Report: Hyorin Dethrones 2NE1, VIXX Goes Top Ten For The First Time

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

As expected, Hyorin’s solo single, “One Way Love,” has taken the top spot on the Gaon chart in its first week out. The SISTAR superstar dethrones last week’s chart-topper, 2NE1′s “Missing You,” which slips one spot to No. 2. The point difference between the two songs is minimal, proving that 2NE1 are actually showing some real staying power with “Missing You” — something that their last two singles didn’t do.

Anyway, with “One Way Love” topping the charts, SISTAR’s total career No. 1s now stands at seven: four as a group, two as soloists, and one as the SISTAR19 subunit.

San E’s “Break Up Dinner” climbs two spots to No. 3, while Hyorin’s other solo single, “Lonely,” debuts at No. 4.

In even better news, VIXX’s “Voodoo Doll” enters the charts at No. 7 to become the group’s first top ten hit and highest-charting single of their career. Their previous best was “G.R.8.U.,” which reached No. 14 back in October. The boys also debut at No. 1 on the album chart with their first full-length album, Voodoo, solidifying their status as one of K-pop’s hottest rising stars right now.

A few spots down, Younha’s “It’s Okay” arrives at No. 9, while miss A’s “Hush” slips to No. 11 after two weeks in the top ten.

2AM’s new single, “Regret,” debuts at No. 18, making it their lowest-charting lead single by a fairly large margin, while Crayon Pop’s “Lonely Christmas” enters at No. 35 to become the group’s third top forty entry after “Bar Bar Bar” and “Dancing Queen 2.0″.

Do these chart posts happen a lot? I love them. I hope they stick around.

Congrats to Hyorin and VIXX. And Missing You is doing so well yay

Fabulous gif OP, I'm so proud of VIXX!

Also it never fails to surprise me how well Sistar do but how they don't seem to have a physical fandom. My theory is that everyone likes them, but they're never the ultimate favourite/bias. Almost like if you'd ask someone who their favourite girl group is they'd mention SNSD, 2NE1 etc, and then when you mention Sistar they'll pretty much all say, "Oh yeah they're good." It makes me sad because I really do love Sistar T_T

agreed re: SISTAR

Finally a VIXX post so I can post my newly discovered ~feelings about them:

So, I'm pretty convinced they'll be the next Infinite. Their career arcs are remarkably similar, like so much so it's almost uncanny (like, Leo and Sunggyu even sound similar). But, I don't think they've had their "Be Mine" song yet. They've been ridiculously solid but they haven't found /the/ song to kinda boost them to next level (but I think they will soon).

Also, I think it's so crazy that they were like 4th or 5th out of all the boy groups who debuted in 2012, but now they've just snatched that #2 position and keep trending upward :) Jellyfish needs to teach these other companies how to properly manage an idol group b/c this year has been close to flawless for them. I'm impressed.

Vixx thanks you for seeing the light!

i want to get into vixx. what should i watch. i watched the first couple of episodes of their youtube diary tv thing and it was a liiiiitle boring, so is there anything else?

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

Watch Plan V Diary, All the Kpop with N, Hongbin and Ken, and watch their Vixx TV. those are short, like five minute long some of the time.

OWL is a really amazing song but I wish the public didn't shun Lonely

[dysphoriia.livejournal.com]

i thought the public would love lonely more than one way love. i still believe it's brave brothers buying back his song!!

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Hmmm....that choreography though...

Still happy about 2NE1 and Vixx

Troublemaker is still in the Top 5 or 10 for the music shows too surprisingly
