2NE1 “CRUSH” album is #11 on Billboard’s World Album Year End chart

[cooliosa.livejournal.com]

The members of 2NE1 started out the year with the release of their 2nd album CRUSH in late February, which they have been busy promoting throughout 2014. CRUSH has garnered much attention internationally and has made it to the TOP15 World Album on Billboard.

2NE1 took 11th place on Billboard’s World Album Year End chart for 2014, making them the only artists from Korea to make it on this specific list. Billboard’s Year End chart determines the top tracks and albums of the year by observing the total sales throughout the year. With the final results out, it shows how much love and support 2NE1 had been receiving this past year from fans.

CRUSH is 2NE1’s second official album, which includes 10 tracks that share the various colors of 2NE1 while staying true to their style. Earlier this year, CRUSH had been chosen by the U.S. Billboard as the most popular girl group album and placed first in popularity during “Girl Group Week.”
Congratulations 2NE1 on your success this year! 2NE1 is said to be attending the 2014 SBS Gayo Daejun later this month.

In other news, 2NE1’s leader CL has also been busy getting ready to promote in the United States and Diplo shared a glimpse at a track that fans determine to be CL.

Babymetal is #7, though. (And half the list has "Celtic" or "Gaelic" in the title. Dang.)

I loved the album when it first came out but idk, it hasn't aged well with me? The only songs I still listen to on the regular are If I Were You, Scream and Gotta Be You.Even Crush which was my favourite has gotten stale.

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

IA. Like, I still enjoy listening to it occasionally, but I'm glad I held off on buying any song except If I Were You.

I've even soured a little on Gotta Be You - the tempo changes from verse-->prechorus-->chorus seem less justified the more I listen to it (and this is coming from someone who likes IGAB), and you get tired of the chorus.

I think the songs that are less clubby & EDM generally hold up the best (still enjoy the hell out of Scream tho): Happy, IIWY, and Good to You...Baby I Miss You is a bit bland, but nice to listen to nonetheless.

wtf is this list though?

"world albums" so everything that's not British or American?

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

Anything from a non-Anglophone country, I think...

[aroseformary.livejournal.com]

babymetal may be a little gimmicky, but they totally work their butts off and let's not even mention them on stage they literally have coreography for every single song and goddammit they fucking kill it live I would know I was there to witness it during the LA show

It's a very good album tbh. It should have had more success in Korea.

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

it's kinda weird, i always thought i liked the earlier albums more but i was just going through all the albums and realized i liked more songs individually on the crush album than the other ones

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

SAME.

CRUSH really grew on me. i wasnt sure about it at first but i think the music on that album has stuck with me more than their other ones.

[chukachukachoo.livejournal.com]

All i see is Stromae though. dude is amazing

[baekpedaling.livejournal.com]
