No. 1 song: ERU's "흰눈" (White Snow) recaptured the top spot, edging Big Bang's "Dirty Cash" by a single point (905 to 904). Overall, this is the 3rd week "흰눈" (White Snow) is being No. 1. Both these 2 songs will face serious challenge from Erik High's "Fan" next week. "Fan" is not far behind at No. 3.

Biggest Movers of the week: Several songs are moving up very fast this week. Seo Ji Young's "Hey Boy" are the biggest mover of all, moving up 23 spots from No. 37 to No. 14. Seo Ji Young's first album produced a top 10 hit "Stay In Me". It looks like she will score another top 10 hit with "Hey Boy" next week.

Hot shot debut: Shinhwa's "예쁘잖아" (It's Pretty) from their 3rd Winter Album, is our highest debut this week at No. 19. Shinhwa continues their success with this series of winter album despite not coming out to perform. "예쁘잖아" (It's Pretty) is a mid-tempo love song that fans will fall in love with just like "세월의 흔적 다 버리고" from their last Winter album 2 years ago. Female singer Lyn wrote the lyrics of this song.

New songs: We have 4 new songs and 3 re-entries in the top 50 this week.

Songs to watch out:

3. Epik High – Fan – As expected, this song made a big jump this week, up 18 spots to No. 3. "Fan" is also the new No. 1 song on MNet M!Countdown. It's very likely that this song will move up to No. 1 on our chart next week.

9. Typhoon – 기다릴게… (I'll Wait) – Typhoon scores their second top 10 hit as this song moves up 11 spots to No. 9. As I mentioned 2 weeks ago, this is their first ballad song, and fans seem to have good reception on it. Let see if this song can duplicate the success of their debut hit last year "그래서…" (So) which went to No. 2.

25. Lee Jae Hoon – 환상 (Fantasy) – Former Cool member Lee Jae Hoon released his first solo album. This song reminds us a lot of Cool's more mellow songs which in the past were rarely promoted as a hit. This songs allow us to hear more about Lee Jae Hoon's vocal, which I think is really underrated in the past.

39. U;Nee – 습관 (Habit) – From the singer's posthumous album. This is a ballad song sung with her sorrowful voice that expresses the hardships she has been through. May she rest in peace.

41. Oh Yoon Hye – I Wish – A recent favorite song of mine. Oh Yoon Hye recently released her 1st album, but she was featured on 2003 movie "광복절 특사" OST before. Her good voice blended smoothly into this powerful ballad in which the melody is kind of old school.

BTW, happy Lunar New Year to all our readers.
