Weekly Music Chart 2007 - March week 5

No. 1 song: Ivy remains No. 1 with "유혹의 소나타" (Temptation of Sonata). Interestingly, she edged out Lee Ki Chan's 2 week No. 1 song "미인" (A Beauty) by a single point once again with the same score 928-927. She should have won more easily but her ballad "이럴거면" is starting to surface on some charts, taking away some scores of her No. 1 song. But with the gap on the album sales score widening between Ivy and Lee Ki Chan (Ivy's top is the top seller), it's optimistic to predict that she'll stay at No. 1 again next week.

Biggest Mover of the week: 3 songs this week move up 20 or more spots. Mose's "내 사랑" (My Love) is our biggest mover after jumping 24 spots from No. 47 to No. 23. This is the title song from Mose's 3rd album. Mose had a big debut hit "사랑인걸" (This is love) 2 years ago. But his last album did not generate a top 10 hit. Let see if he will rebound with this song.

Hot shot debut: Magolpy, a highly anticipated new female singer, has the highest debut this week at No. 19 with "비행소녀" (Flight Girl). Magolpy is a very unique new artist. It is hard to categorize her music, which I can say is a combination of pop, rock, and modern rock. Even before this song hit the chart, the music video already received good reviews. For a new female artist to debut within the top 20 with her first song, she'll definitely worth to watch out for. The song is written by songwriter Yoon Myung Sun, who also wrote Superjunior-T's "로꾸거" (Ro Ggu Guh!!!) and ERU's "까만안경" (Black Glasses) among his recent hit songs.

New songs: After having 14 new songs last week, we have have 2 brand new songs and 2 re-entries this week in our top 50.

Songs to watch out:

8. MC Sniper – 봄이여 오라 (Oh Spring, Come) – continues to move up very fast, leaping another 20 spots straight into the top 10. MC Sniper scores his long deserved first top 10 hit.

18. Lyn – 이별살이 (Separate Life) – like MC Sniper's song, this song moves up 20 spots as well from No. 38 to No. 18. Lyn shared a top 10 hit with Shin Hye Sung earlier this year with "사랑후에" (After Love). Let see if she will do better with her solo song this time.

21. Hye Ryoung – 반지하나 (One Ring) – Hye Ryoung has a similar style to Lyn as they both exceled at R&B ballads. Hye Ryoung is a lot more underrated. Her previous albums all received good reviews but did not produce any hits. This song is set to become her biggest hit to date if it can crack into the top 20 next week.

28. K.Will – 왼쪽가슴 (Left Chest) – Rookie R&B singer K.Will moves up 17 spots to No. 28 this week. K.Will still haven't appeared on gayo shows yet. When he does, this song should be top 20 material.

45. Yoon Ha – 비밀번호 486 (Secret Number 486) – Another promising new female singer. Yoon Ha was very impressive with her digital single hit "Audition" which is just off the chart a few weeks ago. This song is from her first official full k-pop album which is a top 10 seller currently. Yoon Ha first debuted in Japan and now she's back home to Korea to launch her career. This song could well be the biggest mover next week.

Announcement: I am very proud to announce that our top 20 countdown will be back. Big B Radio is starting a k-pop top 20 countdown next week on Friday evening, and the source will be taking from our music chart here. To add more "suspense", they are also going to countdown the brand new unreleased chart of the new week. The time of the show is every Friday 9pm to 11pm EST. Be sure to tune in!

Sources of the top 20

The sources of this top 20 chart are pretty much the same, but the weight assigned to each source may be different each week because some charts do not update weekly (e.g. MNet M!Countdown) and I assign fewer percentage when it happens. From now on, I'll list my chart sources each week. For March week 5:

ChartKorea – 20%
Hanteo and KMDIA Weekly Album Sales (2 weeks lag) – 20%
MNet M!Countdown + MaxMP3 – 20%
SBS – Inky Gayo Take 7 poll + Internet Chart + MP3 Download Chart (1 week lag) – 10%
Various Internet charts (Melon, Jukeon, Dosirak, Muz, Bugs, MTV Korea, Ohdio) – 15%
Hanteo Gayo Chart – 10% (1 week lag)
Gasoo appearance on gayo shows (MBC Show! Music Core, SBS Inky Gayo, KBS Music Bank, SBS Music Space, KBS Yoon Do Hyun Love Letter, Various MTV Korea Programs, Pops In Seoul) – 5%
