Weekly Music Chart 2007 - January week 2
Summary for January week 2 chart:
No. 1 song and the biggest mover of the week: A very nice birthday gift to Brian of Fly To The Sky. His first solo hit "가지마" (Don’t Go) jumped all the way from No. 25 to No. 1 this week. Brian held off SS501’s "Four Chance" which also made a big move from No. 19 to No. 2. It marks only the 2nd time in our chart history that a song from outside of the top 20 a week before jumped to No. 1. Tei did it with "사랑은하나다" (Love Is…The One) in 2005.
Hot shot debut: Se7en’s follow up hit "잘할게" (I Will Do Well) debuts at No. 16 this week. This song is listed in the top 10 of our staff recommended songs of 2006. Unlike his recent hits, this ballad has a simple melody that is easy to remember. It’s written by Big Mama’s Lee Young Hyun. Se7en also made his acting debut this week with the MBC mini-series "Goong S".
New songs: There are 8 new songs in the top 50, including new songs by Shin Hye Sung + Lyn and Lee Hyori.
Songs to watch out:
11. Kim Ah Joong – MARIA (from movie 200 Pounds Beauty) – We haven’t seen a hit song from a Korean movie OST for a long long time. This song is moving up fast and is likely to hit the top 10 next week, thanks to its No. 1 ranking on a majority of internet charts. A remake from Blondie’s song. Actress Kim Ah Jong sings for the first time in a movie that she starred in. The movie OST is a top 3 seller in the album sales chart.
19. ERU – 흰눈 (White Snow) – Follow up hit to "까만안경" (Black Glasses). This time ERU sings a softer ballad with a nice melody. Song title implies that it is definitely the season now to listen to this song. The popularity of Black Glasses has increased the popularity of ERU’s 2nd album, and hopfully also increase the popularity of this song.
26. Shin Hye Sung & Lyn – 사랑후에 (After Love) – From the OST of a music drama "Winter Story", it marks the first collobration between these 2 popular singers. It’s a sad ballad perfect for Winter.
30. Lee Hyori (with Lee Jun Ki) – Anystar – This is the 3rd time Lee Hyori have a song for this series of commercials, and she partnered with popular actor/singer Lee Jun Ki as well.
47. Wheesung – 손톱달 (Fingernail Moon) "from movie Joong Chun" – We haven’t heard a song from Wheesung since he left YG. This song is featured on the movie "Joong Chun" starring Jung Woo Sung and Kim Tae Hee. Unlike his previous R&B tunes, this song is more of a traditional ballad. It’s written by hitmaker Park Geun Tae.
