It has been revealed that the 9-member girl group SNSD have been a huge hit on online music stores this first few months of the year.

According to documents that the music portal site KTF Doshirak revealed to MoneyToday StarNews on the 19th, SNSD's Gee has placed first in the total number of overall pop song downloads between January and April.

SNSD's Gee, which has been presented online beginning of January, was the number 1 download in January and February. In March, the song was third, and between January and February, it was placed number 1 overall [lol isn't this repetitive?]. SNSD's minialbum with Gee has sold over 100 000 copies (their company's standard total) and it has reeled in a fairly large sum offline, as well.

On the other hand, according to KTF Doshirak, the female duo Davichi's "8282" was in first place in March and BigBang&2NE1's "Lollipop" was first place in April.

Also, for the total download listings following SNSD from January to February, Super Junior's "Sorry Sorry" was 2nd, Davichi's "8282" was 3rd, Afterschool's "Ah" was 4th, SS501's "Because I'm Stupid" was 5th, Hwayobi's "Half" was 6th, BigBang&2NE1's "Lollipop" was 7th, Wax's "Can't Call Even Once" was 8th, Gavy NJ's "Love Story" was 9th, and Big Bang Seungri's solo song "Strong Baby" was in 10th place.

Haha, what a bizarre way to find out about kpop.

Question time! Since there is a serious lack of non-english speaking (or Spanish-speaking I suppose) international music on the iTunes store is there anywhere online for someone in the US like me to legally purchase kpop/Korean music?

Thanks! However these sites don't look like you can do digital downloads... or am I just missing something?

It will be hard to find one for digital downloads because you need a Korean SSN :(

I think iTunes added some korean songs but they tagged them as jpop F

damn I clicked enter!

As I was saying.... I think there are some koreans songs in iTunes like the wonder girls and 2pm
JYP is doing it right!! take note of that SM and YG

Yeah, I got Map The Soul off iTunes as well. I'll have to look up Wonder Girls and 2PM later for some singles.

ETA: IDEA! Let's start an Omona letter writing campaign to the major labels expressing our desire as international fans to have legal ways to support these artists via digital markets like iTunes and the Amazon MP3 store. I would love to be able to buy kpop singles if the option is available.

it helps that it's so catchy. I showed it to one of my friends just once and the next few days all he was singing was 'gee gee gee gee baby baby baby'

but good for them!

There need to be more KPOP songs available on iTunes. :/

Congratz to the girls, though.

This song will forever be linked to with heechul-in-drag for me. That was the first time I heard it, lol, and now whenever I listen he is my visual.
