Not a lot of changes on the chart this week as Yang Yoseob’s “Caffeine” hold on for the top spot for yet another week, – its fourth straight week on top. “Caffeine” is still going very strong, not only gaining points from last week but also eclipsing the 900 point mark for the fourth week in a row. Next week Yeseob will face a strong challenger if he wants to be on top for the fifth week. ...
Happy New Year to all our readers. We are back this week after our break for the 2012 Soompi Gayo Awards. We are set to begin our 9th year of the weekly K-Pop music chart. As usual, at the beginning of each year, we are making some changes to our chart sources to better reflect what is popular in the K-Pop world. You will see below that we have a format change to make it look more sophisticated...
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the moment you have been waiting for: the results of the 2012 Soompi Gayo Awards! This is already our eighth year hosting this event to recognize the top performers and songs in K-Pop this past year. Note that the complete results of the gayo awards will be broadcasted by our partner MYX TV in January. We will have the details on the air date soon. Thanks to PSY’...
Happy Holidays everyone! With 2012 about to end, it is time for my annual post counting down my favorite 20 songs of the year. What a stellar year it has been for K-Pop. It further cements its status of an international recognized genre of music mainly because of two words: Gangnam Style. Who would expect this song to break through the international market and bringing so many more new K-Pop fans....
Yang Yoseob’s “Caffeine” repeats as No. 1 on our last music chart of this year. For the second straight week, “Caffeine” won over Lee Seung Ki’s “Return” and is the only song score over 900 points. “Caffeine” is also gaining ground in TV network rankings as it became the new No. 1 song on M!Countdown this week. There are three new songs in the top 10 this week. The highest entry in the top 10 is a...
**Vote for your favorite singers of 2012!** This is our eighth annual Soompi Gayo Awards event to recognize the top performers in Korean music in 2012. The 2012 Soompi Gayo Awards will be announced on New Year’s Eve, December 31. Like last year, we are proud to partner with MYX TV, and they will broadcast the award show in January 2013 (date to be announced). As always, we take pride in ac...
BEAST’s main vocalist Yang Yoseob did something that the group has not yet accomplished on our chart so far in their career – to have a No. 1 song. Yoseob’s “Caffeine” moves up nine spots to the top in just its second week on the chart, easily defeating last week’s No. 1 song, Juniel’s “Bad Person.” BEAST came close this summer with “Beautiful Night” hitting No. 2. If not because of “Gangnam Styl...
Big changes are taking place in the top 10 this week. The new No. 1 and 2 songs were not even in the top 10 last week. Juniel becomes the third consecutive female rookie soloist to score her first No. 1 song as “Bad Person” moves up from No. 13 to No. 1 this week. Together with Ailee and Lee Ha Yi, the trio seems to be front runners for this year’s best new artist awards, and they are the only ...
After three weeks at No. 2, Ailee’s “I Will Show You” finally moves up to the top spot this week. It is her first No. 1 song. Despite steadily dropping in points for the last two weeks, “I Will Show You” was able to move up to No. 1 thanks in part to Lee Ha Yi’s “1,2,3,4” which dropped to No. 5 this week. Lee Ha Yi has released a new single, the JYP written “Scarecrow.” The strategy apparently ba...
