Weekly K-Pop Music Chart 2011 - October Week 2

For the first time since Week 4 of May when f(x)‘s “Pinocchio” spent its three weeks as No. 1, we have another song accomplishing that feat. Kara‘s “Step” is No. 1 for a third week in a row. The competition has been tight all summer with each No. 1 song from June to September spending only one or two weeks on top. It takes the most successful artist from our chart in the past two years to break this trend. Congratulations once again to Kara.

The top three songs remains unchanged this week with Davichi‘s “Don’t Say Goodbye” and Sung Shi Kyung‘s “I Like” stays at No. 2 and 3 respectively.  Davichi’s “Don’t Say Goodbye” actually outscored Kara’s “Step” on a few of our chart sources. While “Don’t Say Goodbye” was released even earlier than “Step”, it has had very strong staying power.

There are three new songs in the top ten this week, two of them brand new. At No. 5 it is the real title song “Sixth Sense” from Brown Eyed Girls‘ 4th album of the same name.  This song replaced “Hot Shot” which was on our chart the past two weeks. Brown Eyed Girls who are known for their strong vocals and amazing choerography, received rave reviews everytime they performed this song. It should have no trouble getting into the top 3 next week.

At No. 7, Super Junior returns to the top 10 with “A-Cha“, from their repackaged album. Not too long ago, Super Junior hit No. 1 with “Mr. Simple“. Now they are looking for another chart topping song.  “A Cha” a powerful dance number with a rock base and electro house rhythms.

Another brand new song at No. 8 is fast rising boy group Infinite‘s latest hit “Paradise“. This song comes from their recently released repackaged album and already hitting the top 10 in its first week. “Paradise” is written by the same combo that created Kara’s “Step” and is a mid-tempo electronica dance number that showcase the group’s maturity.
