Weekly K-Pop Music Chart 2012 - February Week 2
We had expected a lot of changes for this week’s chart – but it only holds true for the lower half of the top 10. To our surprise the top four songs remained the same from a week ago. T-Ara’s “Lovey Dovey” refuses to leave the top spot. Despite a big drop in points, it remains No. 1 for the fourth consecutive week.
MBLAQ’s “This Is War” was actually the favorite to overtake “Lovey Dovey” but instead the two-week M!Countdown champion remains at No. 2 again this week, followed by Sunny Hill’s “The Grasshopper Song” and Teen Top’s Inkygayo Mutizen song “Crazy” at No. 3 and 4 respectively. All three songs had a slight drop in points, but T-Ara’s “Lovey Dovey” was so far ahead last week it was able to hold on to the top spot.
Next week we should see a whole new picture on the chart as many of this week’s top 10 debutants are ready to contend for the top spot. The next four songs are all brand new entries to the top 10.
At No. 5, Beast’s “I Knew This Would Happen” rises 11 spots and is the highest ranked new song in the top 10 for this week. Despite the group not coming out to promote this digital single, it is already in the top five in just its second week on the chart. “I Knew This Would Happen” was composed by Rado and Beast‘s member Yong Joon Hyung took part in the song as well. The repetitive guitar and drum beats make this song charming. The lyrics are about saying harsh words to a girl who has left him for another man.
At No. 6 is top pop-rock group FT Island, back with the title song “Severely” from their latest mini-album “Grown Up”. As the album title suggests, the group returns more mature than ever. “Severely” is a Kim Do Hoon and Lee Sang Ho composition. Penned by Han Sung Ho, this song is about being in misery for being unable to let go of a past lover. “Severely” is among the favorites to become the next No. 1 song on our chart.
Last year’s top rookie group Dal Shabet is back with their fourth mini-album “Hit U.“ The title track of the same name is at No. 7 this week. Dal Shabet was named the best new artist in our 2011 Soompi Gayo Awards, now they are joining the ranks of many excellent girl groups in K-pop. The girls, known for their bright and lively image has transformed into more mature ladies. Their title track, “Hit U” fits this change as it is a hip-hop rock crossover in minor key.
At No.8, it is a very special collaboration between two giant record companies in Korea – YG & JYP. And to make this song even more special, it is Se7en’s comeback hit! The JYP written R&B ballad “When I Can’t Sing” is a refreshing song different from vintage YG style hits written by Teddy. Seven’s perfect vocals and harmonization can be seen in this song. “When I Can’t Sing” debuts at No. 1 on GAON Chart this week and debuts at No. 8 on our chart. This is another song has has the potential to challenge for the top spot next week.

Comment: Project group, Goodmorning Heaven, consists of vocalist Lee Sang Mi (EX), guitarist Jeong Yu Jong (Daybreak), bassist Park Sun Chul (Oh Ji Eun and the Wolves), pianist Jo Jun Young, and drummer Lee Myung Jun. They have come together for an EP of the same title. The title track is a bright Irish pop song about being happy day by day with one’s lover. However, there is also a hidden message about missing one’s ex-lover and being unable to forget the past. (credits to motoway065 for translations)
