Weekly K-Pop Music Chart 2013 - February Week 1

A mild upset at No. 1 this week as hip-hop duo Bae Chi Gi ‘s “Shower Of Tears” moves over  last two week’s champion Girls’ Generation’s “I Got A Boy.” It wasn’t a total surprise as “Shower Of Tears” was also No. 1 on M!Countdown this week. It is the first No. 1 song for Bae Chi Gi, who debuted back in 2005. This time they get an assist from last year’s top rookie Ailee, as she is the featured vocalist on “Shower Of Tears.”  On music shows, Spica member Yang Ji Won has performed with Bae Chi Gi on this song for most of their appearances.

Moving up two spots to No. 3 is CN Blue’s “I’m Sorry.”  This song was No. 1 on KBS Music Bank this week and will certainly battle Bae Chi Gi’s “Shower Of Tears” for the top spot next week.

There is only one new song in the top 10 this week.  Moving up 21 spots to No. 6 is 4minute’s first sub-unit 2yoon. The duo formed by Jun Ji Yoon and Heo Ga Yoon recently released their first mini-album “Harvest Moon.”  Like most other sub-units, 2yoon’s music is very different from 4minute’s.  Their title song “24/7” is a country style song with a cheerful, catchy melody that is very rare in K-Pop.  On stage, the duo also goes for a more contemporary look rather than the usual sexy concept of 4minute.
