Weekly Music Chart 2007 - August week 2

No. 1 song: Fly To The Sky's "My Angel" remains No. 1 but F.T Island's "사랑앓이" (Painful Love) is rebounding and closing the gap again at No. 2. The top 2 songs only have a difference of 17 points. These 2 songs are far ahead of the competition and it looks like they will remain the top 2 songs for a while.

Biggest Mover of the week: It's the first time in this chart that a song repeats as the biggest mover. For the 2nd week in a row, Zia's "물끄러미" (Absentmindedly) is our biggest mover of the week, moving up another 11 spots to No. 16. This lovely ballad was composed by the top songwriting team of Cho Young Soo and Ahn Young Min, who has written many hits for SG Wannabe, See Ya, Kim Jong Kook, KCM, etc. Zia's album cover concept (with Kim Ok Bin on it) is quite similar to KCM, and she did have a duet with KCM on the album.

Hot shot debut: Not a lot of high debuts this week. Rumble Fish's "그대내게다시" (That Day, I Again) is our highest debut at No. 27. This digital single is a remake of Byeon Jin Sub's hit written by Kim Hyung Suk. Unlike their usual modern rock style, this ballad shows another side of Rumble Fish and the vocal of Choi Jini.

New songs: We have 8 new songs this week:

Songs to watch out:

10. Brown Eyed Girls (feat. Lee Jae Hoon ) – 오아시스 (Oasis) – With BEG coming out to perform, the extra push finally gets this song into the top 10 this week. It's a good accomplishment considered this is a digital single. Surprisingly, this song is still the top overall airplay song in Korea for a few weeks already. Maybe it is due to the song's summer melody which is perfect for the season.

13. Yangpa – 그대를 알고 (Since Knowing You) – Up 7 spots this week, Yangpa is looking for her 2nd top 10 songs from this album, and she should get it next week. Her 5th album remains top 10 in sales even after more than 2 months of release.

15. M – Stomp – Moving up slower than expected, but still possible for a big jump next week. Like Kim Dong Wan's "Handkerchief", this song has yet to peak and with Min Woo performing on all the gayo shows, the song will definitely be more popular. We may be seeing 3 Shinhwa members (M, Dong Wan, and Hye Sung) in the top 20 at the same time pretty soon with Hye Sung's 2nd album just released.

29. Il Rak – 그래도사랑합니다 (I still love you) – Underrated R&B artist Il Rak is back with a digital single and a decent debut at No. 29. This song is written by famous songwriters Kim Do Hoon and Min Myung Ki. The music video is about how a cheating boyfriend has ruined everything for one woman.

30. Black Pearl – 좋은걸어떡해 (What Can I Do If I Like It) – Another highly anticipated debuting girl group, from the record company that produced SG Wannabe and See Ya. This song is also written by Cho Young Soo, an R&B song with traditional instruments arranging. If you like SG Wannabe's "Arirang" and "One Summer Night Dream", you should like this song too.

33. Mo Ga Dang – 오에오 (O.A.O.) – YG's MGD is back with a new single, a mixture of hip-hop, R&B, and funk make this song enjoyable to listen. Members wear interesting costumes performing this song on stage.

37. LPG – 바다의공주(The Princess Of Sea) – After 2 unsuccessful trot albums, LPG (Long Pretty Girls) is switching to more pop-oriented songs, and they started it with a remake of Park Myung Soo's hit. This dance song is tailor-made for summer. Original artiste Park Myung Soo also recorded the intro to introduce LPG to mainstream audiences.

50. Jung Dong Ha + Park Ki Young – 천년의 연인 (Thousand Year Lover – Love Theme from D-War) – From the OST of top box office sci-fi movie "D-War: The Legend of Dragon", this song is another good quality, lovely duet. The surprising popularity of this movie enables this song to move into our chart. It may not become a hit, but is a highly recommended song.

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.

Hanteo and KMDIA Weekly Album Sales (2 weeks lag) – 20%
MNet M!Countdown + MNet Internet Chart – 20%
