Idol group the Wonder Girls may be working its magic in the United States, becoming the first Korean group to enter the rotation playlists of some of the top 40 American radio stations, according to their agency on Tuesday.

"Of the 167 'Top40 Radio Stations' located throughout major U.S. cities, their U.S. debut single 'Nobody' has entered the rotation playlists of 18 stations,"
said JYP Entertainment. A song which goes on the rotation list will play at least once or twice a week for a month.

JYP also said that according to an airplay analysis chart by music website Mediabase, 'Nobody' was played over 65 times by radio stations between October 12 to 18 to increase the group's airplay ranking by 16 spots from the previous week to No. 107.

"From what we've seen so far, we expect to see them enter more rotation playlists and their airplay ranking to increase," JYP explained.

The popular five-member group released their first U.S. digital single in late June and performed the opening acts for all 53 shows of the Jonas Brothers' U.S. tour. 'Nobody' is the English version of the song originally released in Korea which was a hit throughout several countries Asia.

YES! Not a really super big and phenomenal achievement but I'm glad to see Wonder Girls slowly but surely going up. This is a door-opener for asian acts.

I'm proud to be a Wonderful. even if Kara and SNSD have been taking up all my fanyboyism recently. :o

as much as I'm tired of the song, it's still "new" for the non-kpop fans in the US.

The people over there who are hearing it just now are probably feeling the same way as kpop fans did when the original version came out over a year ago.

Having said that...

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEIR NEXT ALBUM!! :O

Aww, I'm happy for them really. This could get them a lot more exposure.
Also, a comeback in Korea next year would be great. TOO hectic right now lol.

Yay!

I just wish I knew which stations are airing their song. I haven't listened to the radio in so long because of my iPod hookup and I don't want to have to go through all of the top 40 stations my state has.

Now if only they'd release a new song (and by 'new' I mean anything other than a Korean remake...).

GET IT GIRLS. Seriously, their appeal is universal. Right now in the girl groups, imo you either have raw talent and killer performances or you have great personalities or you have great coordination with each other on stage. Wonder Girls is the only group who has it ALL to me. I could truly stan for them forever. Honestly, when they return to Korea, all the other girl groups will probably pale in comparison. I don't think there's been a comparable group to them since Fink.L or SES.

I love them too, but lately BEG has been driving me fanboy crazy.
