Weekly K-Pop Music Chart 2012 - April Week 1
JYP‘s male vocal quartet 2AM is enjoying their spot on our chart at number 1 for the second consecutive week. 2AM made their comeback three weeks ago with their new single “I Wonder If You Hurt Like Me” from their second mini album “F.Scott Fitzgerald’s Way Of Love” and have managed to secure their place at the number one spot with a high score of 937. The song also earned them several awards from weekly music shows.
SHINee‘s “Sherlock” has made an impressive advance as it ranked at number 2 this week. Last week, the song made its entry in our chart at number 10. “Sherlock” is a combination of two tracks from SHINee’s new mini album, “Clue” and “Note” which has never been done before in K-Pop. The number is more of an experimental sound than a remix of two songs.
miss A‘s “Touch” still is battling it up at number 7. The ladies of miss A concluded their promotional activities with goodbye stages last week on music shows.
Big Bang‘s “Fantastic Baby” is still going strong by battling it up for the third place of the podium. Despite it being more than a month since its release, Big Bang’s “Bad Boy” is back in the top 10 at number 9 while “Blue” still makes it in the top 10.
Competition will be tough with CNBLUE making a comeback after a year and a half. CNBlue is making its entry in our chart at number 6 with the catchy number “Hey You.” Speaking of tough competition, Shinhwa is back with a bang after a 4 year long hiatus and earns no less than fourteen (magical number for Shinhwa celebrating their 14 years since debut) spots in our chart with “Venus” from their tenth album “The Return.”
