This really is the year of the girl groups. BEG 2ne1 kara and SNSD rocked it.

Congratz to 2ne1 for a great rookie year

W000000000000T!

:D

Ok, so why does SNSD fan keep saying Gee sold more than "I don't care" then? Obviously, that's not what Mnet's data are saying.
2NE1 totally deserved that Song of the Year Award.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

Well I am not sure about the totals but this is only mnets chart not total sales. I know all SNSD's albums have sold over 100k copies. They are the first girl group to do that. Maybe they are mixing up singles data with album sales. I dunno

[carnivalriots.livejournal.com]

but imo, 2NE1 did as well in album sales too because they only have a mini album and were only around since may ~

emt.
plus Gee was more about the dance just like Tell Me.

i really wish we have the total of everything not like number no 1 in hanteo, no 1 in cyworld, no 1 in bugs, melon etc

[sya-fhya.livejournal.com]

maybe because there are more that 1 chart in korea?
i mean there's no one official chart like billboard that just sums out everything.
IDC might tops these 2 charts but not melon etc etc shit idk really i kinda don't care lol.

[diamondroad17.livejournal.com]

There's multiple sites where people can download from. A lot of SNSD fans probably downloaded from Melon or something. 2NE1 did deserve their win though because I Don't Care was the most downloaded song on Mnet.

[cookie-nut.livejournal.com]

I think because they're thinking of sales overall, and not considering that 2NE1 won based just on Mnet's own chart.

[carnivalriots.livejournal.com]

LOL YOU KNOW SNSD FANS

i know people are already hatin' on me but hey, I like SNSD too, so shhhh.

[gabbeeee.livejournal.com]

I think its taking into account all the other charts including album sales? Plus Gee stayed on the charts for a much longer time that I dont Care and its was practically everywhere in Korea this year. I was there for a short holiday and it was really EVERYWHERE. not an exaggeration.

[sya-fhya.livejournal.com]

lol i like how mc mong is third & nearly beat GD on MNet but he's nowhere to be seen on that bugs list.

2ne1 is like the best rookie group in kpop history or something huh lol those girls got to the top so easily.
You & I is still my jam btw.

Now I'm lolling pretty hard for that soshified post that demanded that Mnet should have used just sales numbers in MAMA when deciding song of the year.

[gdlovesbee.livejournal.com]

[bunii.livejournal.com]
