No. 1 song: As predicted, Fly To The Sky's "My Angel" goes back to the top this week, with a strong showing in the M!Countdown, while F.T Island changes to a new song. Overall, it is the 3rd week that this song is No. 1 on our chart. The score of 857 points was quite low for a No. 1 song, but the competition is not very strong at this moment.

Biggest Mover of the week: Rumble Fish's "그대내게다시" (That Day, I Again) has a nice rebound, moving up 19 spots to No. 19 this week, after dropping 11 spots last week. This song is a remake of a Byun Jin Sub ballad. The style is very different from Rumble Fish's more modern rock songs that we are accustomed to.

Hot shot debut: SM's new 9-member girl group So Nyuh Shi Dae (SNSD) has our highest debut this week with their first hit "다시만난세계" (Into The New World) at No. 23. Their debut is highly anticipated, and they did not disappoint us. Like almost every debuting SM groups, SNSD has been marketed to fans well before their debut. This strategy always works. This medium tempo dance song is written by Kenzie, who has written many hits for SM artistes in recent years.

New songs: We have 5 new songs and 1 re-entry this week:

Songs to watch out:

2. See Ya – 결혼할까요 (Shall We Marry) – Moving up to No. 2 this week. The trio is looking for another No. 1 song and they are closing in on FTTS. This song has a relaxed, summer feel, which is perfect for the season. It's gaining popularity despite the fact that See Ya is not performing as often as the last album.

3. Son Ho Young – 하늘에 내 마음이 (My Heart at the Sky) – Made a strong move this week, up 13 spots to No. 3, and probably have the bext chance to be the next No. 1 song. Just like other G.O.D. songs, this mid-tempo song is climbing up the chart very fast.

10. Zi-A – 물끄러미 (Absentmindedly) – Up 4 spots into the top 10 this week. We haven't had a faceless singer this successful for a long time. Zi-A is winning support from fans with her vocal, and the mega production of this song's music video, which has just released its part III.

33. Shin Hye Sung – 첫사람 (First Person) – Even though the song is debuting lower than a lot of people expected, it is almost certain that the song will make a big jump next week with the album sales score starting to count. The song is written by top songwriter Cho Young Soo, who collaborated with Shin Hye Sung on his "All Star" album earlier this year. This is a very nice ballad that is going to win the hearts of many fans.
