Lee Seung Ki remains number one for the 3rd straight week with “제발” (Please), but the gap between him and Koyote is shortened now, as “I Love Rock & Roll” is only 26 points behind at number two. These two songs are still far ahead of others. Son Ho Young moves up a spot to number three with “운다” (Crying), but is only at 730 points.

The next four spots are songs that were going down last week, and moving back up this week. The indie rock band Nell has the biggest mover this week with “마음을잃다” (Losing One’s Mind), up 11 spots to number eight. Nell’s album sales are usually their strength, but this time they also produce a top 10 hit.

Three new songs this week, led by a top 10 debut YG’s new darling Big Bang. The title song “La La La” from their 2nd single album "Big Bang is VIP" debuted at No. 10 this week. Big Bang’s old song “눈물뿐인 바보” (Tears of a Fool) just dropped off the top 20 this week. It doesn’t take them long to produce another hit song.

Coming in at No. 14 is the title song “소리쳐” (Screaming) from Lee Seung Chul’s 8th album. Lee Seung Chul had a very successful 7th album 2 years ago. Last year, he released his 20th anniversary album with the hit song “열을 세어 보아요” (Counting from Ten to Three). Earlier this year, he also participated in the project single album “Over The Rainbow Vol. 1” with a beautiful ballad “떠나지마” (Don’t Leave). It seems that he’s always around our top 20. Let see if his new song is able to succeed as his past songs and albums.

The last new song of the week is probably the song that many fans are waiting for. DBSG’s “오-정반합” (O-Union). This is the title song from their long awaited 3rd album. Even though it is the lowest debut of the 3 songs this week, it is expected to move up the chart fast.
