Summary for September week 5 chart:

No. 1 song There is no slowing down for Big Bang's "거짓말" (Lie) as it remains at No. 1 for the 4th straight week. The gap between Big Bang and Lee Seung Ki's No. 2 song "착한거짓말" (White Lie) widens again, plus Big Bang's "Lie" is the new No. 1 song on M!Countdown this week. It is likely that this song will continue to stay at No. 1 next week.

Biggest Mover of the week: Baek Ji Young's "사랑하나면 돼 (Loving one person is enough) moves up 20 spots to No. 7 this week, proving that last year's bit hit "사랑안해" (I Won't Love) is no fluke as she continues to provide us with another wonderful ballad. This song will face some tough competition in the next few weeks though. Let's see if it will reach No. 1.

Hot shot debut: Brown Eyed Girls' "너에게속았다" (I Got Fooled By You) is our highest debut at No. 16. This is the title song of their 2nd album, replacing their summer hit "Oasis". This time BEG are returning to their R&B roots (which they called hybrid soul) by giving us a mid-tempo ballad. Each member contributes almost equally in this song. In my opinion, they are the most talented female group in Korea now. Let's see if they will gain more recognition with this song and their new album.

New songs: Another week with 11 new songs.

Songs to watch out:

5. Wheesung - 사랑은 맛있다 ♡ (Love is Delicious) - Just missing out on being the week's biggest mover, up 17 spots to No. 5. All title songs from Wheesung's first 4 albums have reached No. 1 on the chart. Let's see if this song will so the same and challenge Big Bang soon.

9. Crown J - 그녀를뺏겠습니다 (I'll get her back) - Crown J finally scores his first ever top-10 hit with this song. There isn't many hip-hop songs on the chart lately. We can expect this song to remain strong in the coming weeks.

13. 8Eight - 사랑을잃고난노래하네 (Forget Love and Sing) - This song is moving up a lot faster than expected, up 13 spots this week and is inching close to the top 10. All R&B fans should be delighted listening to this song. 8Eight has been performing almost every gayo show as well and it should help this song a lot.

20. V.O.S. - 매일매일 (Everyday Everyday) - Not too many people may have noticed, but hits keep coming for this R&B group. Just when their collaboration with Hyun Joon of Monday Kiz "나 이젠" (I Now) left the chart, this new song of their own comes in. It is from their newly released single album. Songwriter Cho Young Soo adds yet another song to his impressive lineup of top 20 songs lately.

22. Drunken Tiger - 주정 (Craft) - Tiger JK is back and this song has a decent debut, thanks mostly to its good sales numbers. Like I mentioned above, there are not too many hip-hop songs on the chart lately. This is another one that should make a difference.

24. See Ya - 얼음인형 (Ice Doll) - Hits also keep coming for these girls as this song is already the 3rd single from their highly successful 2nd album. Their original fans may love this song as See Ya is returning to a more R&B-oriented style like their 1st album. The song is about a frozen heart being able to thaw upon the return of a lover. The music video, starring Lee Yo-won and Jo Hyun-jae, is a continuation of the title track of See Ya's 2nd album, "Love's Greeting."

25. Lee Soo Young - 단발머리 (Bob Hair Cut) - The queen of ballad is back with her 8th album after 1.5 years. Since her last album, Lee Soo Young is exploring new kinds of music. This song is very refreshing to listen to with excellent violin arrangements. Very good chance to be the biggest mover next week when sales of this album start to count.

Top songwriters dominate the top 10 - Besides Cho Young Soo's impressive current run (still 4 top 10 songs this week), two other top songwriters are getting into the mix now. Kim Do Hoon has 2 top 10 songs in Baek Ji Young's "사랑하나면 돼" (Loving one person is enough) and Jang Hye Jin's "가라 사랑아" (Go Away Love), while Park Keun Tae has Wheesung's "사랑은 맛있다 ♡" (Love is Delicious) at No. 5. These 3 songwriters have written the most number of hits in k-pop for the last few years. Their presence is heavily felt in the top 10 now.

ARTISTE OF THE WEEK - Crown J



PROFILE:

Real Name: Kim Kye Hoon
English Name: Kevin
Birthday: November 12, 1979
Education : Department of Economics, UCLA
Debut album : One & Only, 2006
Talents : Basketball, track & field


BIOGRAPHY:

Our featured artiste this week is hip-hop singer Crown J (J stands for Jewel). He just scored his first ever top 10 hit with the title song "그녀를뺏겠습니다" (I'll Get Her Back) from his 2nd album "Miss Me?".

Crown J is a relatively new face in the Korean hip-hop scene who made his debut in March, 2006. Having lived in the US, Crown J brings US-style hip-hop to Korean listeners. However, his songs about love, friendship and family are filled with Korean sentiments. The first single off Crown J�s debut album is �V.I.P.,� a song about how a person should work to become �a very important person� on the inside rather than the outside. The lyrics were written by Crown J himself. A number of top music figures, like MC Mong, Tablo, Ivy, and Dynamic Duo, participated in Crown J�s debut album. Even though the song did not reach top 20, the album received decent reviews. Crown J performed on stage quite often so that he could gain more exposure and more fans. Besides rapping, Crown J also became an MC of KMTV's gayo show "Show Music Tank" for a while in 2006.

In August 2007, Crown J came back with his 2nd album. This time both the album and the title song already did better than any of the songs from his 1st album, indicating that he has gained a lot more fans now. Again, he wrote his own music and lyrics. Most of his songs are listener-friendly hip-hop songs. He is prime to make a move to the upper echelons of Korea's hip-hop scene.

The song, Stupid Person, is about a girl whose love relationship with a guy is dying and so no matter how much she tries to forget him and look happy without him, she will only look stupid. - credits to motoway065

With three long years of effort, the members, Seung Ah (20), Joo Bi (21), and Jang Hyun (22) have finally released their single. Their title track, Ringtone, is an R&B-style track about sending a person a ringtone instead of breaking up from the relationship. Because It�s You was composed by Lee Min Soo, who also wrote Brown Eyed Girls' Coming Closer and it�s a medium ballad track with lyrics about liking anything because one has a loved one. Good-bye New York is an up-tempo track where you can hear the brass and jazzy piano, while Leave has an electronica feel to it. -credits to motoway065

Oh, wow. Big Bang's Lie is doing great<3
I really love that MV and the song in general. Their comeback was great.
I have yet to listen to Hyesung's album, but I guess since it's ranked so high, I should give it a try.
Thanks so much, edward! :D
