EXO's 'Sing For You' Topped Music Charts in Korea + #1 on Melon for 33 Hours Straight and Counting

[parkjsun.livejournal.com]

As expected, EXO's winter single ‘Sing For You' is a chart-topper. The group released the winter special album just yesterday and it has already secured first place ranking in almost all the music charts in Korea.

The album features two title tracks and all the songs were released at midnight yesterday. The other title song is called 'Unfair' and it placed second to 'Sing For You.' The songs conquered the no. 1 and no. 2 spots in MelOn, Naver Music, Genie, Bugs and Soribada.

'On the Snow' and 'Girl x Friend' are on top of the charts as well so the group is very happy with the results.

On the other hand, it was reported that the Chinese version of Sing For You album was simultaneously unveiled in China and as usual, the real-time music chart Baidu King revealed EXO's winter album as first place.

Meanwhile, the members held their comeback stage earlier today at Lotte World in Jamsil. The event was called ‘EXO COMEBACK STAGE - Sing For You.' It was aired live via Naver V app so fans around the world definitely watched the show too.

Aside from singing the new songs, a segment for chatting with fans was part of the program as well. EXO is set to appear on MBC′s Music Core on Dec. 12 and SBS′ Inkigayo on Dec 13 to promote their album via comeback stages.

This is the strongest opening for an EXO single yet! And they're beating out competition like Psy, Zico Ft. Zion.T, the Reply 1988 OSTs, Brown Eyed Soul! Bb's been killing physical but now they're killing it digital as well!

the song deserves it tbh

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

The instrumental is really light in comparison to a lot of songs topping the charts, it's cool to see a song like that do well.

lmao @ that gif of DO... looks like he got some sort of enlightenment, especially with the way the light shines on his face

I forgot this was happening.
I just checked out the video, this will be on repeat until July tyvm.
edit: nvm, they somehow made a 4 minute song feel like it was 8 hours long. Nah, this isn't for me. *plays Miracles in December*

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

yeah it does feel overly long. like a minute too long lmao

miracles in december is still the best for me!

I'm genuinely surprised every time I check Melon and see them still there.

Really impressive, but then the first Christmas mini also did very well?

[hibaalhadid.livejournal.com]

so proud of them, they deserve all this success

[hibaalhadid.livejournal.com]

also keeping that #1 for more than 33 hours is really impressive, some songs can't keep it for that long, they've improved digitally and I'm happy about it

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I looked at melon but they're #5 now? Anyway, I don't know why people are surprised that the song stayed for so long at #1, they're one of the few boy groups that always do very well digitally. Didn't other singles like CMB and LMR stayed for days at #1?

[parkjsun.livejournal.com]

No, their longest #1 before this was 5-8 hours. And that was during midnight till morning where only fans were streaming. Them staying #1 during peak (afternoon) hours means that the public were listening to their song more than the compitition, and they have some really strong competition.

Also, they're back on #1 now that it's past midnight, that's usually how it works.

Kill em! When will my faves tbh lol
