Baek Jiyoung and IU battle it out for the title of "Queen of the Online Charts"

Solo artists Baek Jiyoung and IU have been battling it out on the online charts.

On April 7th, Baek Jiyoung released “Voice” just three days after IU’s release of “Peach” and have both managed to take the first spot on various online music charts. “Voice” had topped the real-time Melon charts as well as Soribada, while “Peach” claimed first place on Olleh Music.

Both ladies have been holding their own against popular girl groups such as Taetiseo’s “Twinkle” as well as Sistar’s "Alone." Both artists can truly be considered Queens in their own right, especially since both “Voice” and “Peach” are both “teaser” songs released ahead of the title track of their new albums.

Baek Jiyoung’s “Voice” is a song with an R&B tempo and a soothing yet heartbreaking melody, which is said to bring Baek Jiyoung’s charm to a new level, while IU’s “Peach” is a song that uses acoustic sounds and speaks about a young girl’s happy feelings when starting a new romance.

Baek Ji Young has the better songs but I think IU will get the win
