Flashback Friday

Every week I check the charts for this day in the past and post the top three songs. Then I pick out two more from the top ten as honorable mentions. This week we are going back to the 2nd week of April, 2012.



#3 Nell “The Day Before”
This was the group’s first release in four years because of a hiatus due to the members’ enlistments. “The Day Before” was the lead single from the album “Slip Away”. The album would hit the top spot on the charts, and the song would peak at #3. It is also the band’s best selling song. The MV stars actors Song Jae Rim & Lee Min Ki.

#2 4Minute “Volume Up”
This is the lead single from the EP of the same name. It was pretty successful for the group, the EP would peak at #1 and the song at #2. It is also one of their bigger selling songs. I can’t remember if I liked this song, I think I did. I remember really liking the styling a lot. Let’s watch their comeback at Music Core.

#1 Busker Busker “Cherry Blossom Ending”
The band has been on an hiatus since 2013, but this song surely has them set for life lol. Maybe not totally for life, but for sure they are getting a big check every year. Mnet revealed that this was the most streamed and downloaded song from 2006-2015. And still charting every year when the cherry blossoms bloom.

Honorable Mentions

#5 Sistar “Alone”
One of their most successful songs, one of their biggest sellers. The song and album would peak in the top ten, at number one and number three, respectively. And just so damn popular. That leg dance was parodied so much. Let’s check out a stage from an M Countdown overseas show in Taiwan.

#6 Yangpa, Davichi & Hanna “Love Is All The Same”
This was one of the singles from Yangpa’s album “Together”. The song features Haeri from Davichi and Han Na-Yeon (Hanna)) from F-ve Dolls. I don’t remember this release at all. Let’s check out the MV. The music video stars actors Lee Yowon and Baek Sunghyun.

Alone and Volume Up!!! I remember they came back around the same time, and I much preferred Volume Up. The vampire concept was interesting too, but Hyuna was so not there for it and Jihyun's weak bridge. I remembered feeling meh about Alone at that time because it was so similar to other Sistar songs, but now I've recognised what an amazing song it was
