Weekly K-Pop Music Chart 2014 – February Week 3

Girl’s Day’s “Something” continues to dominate and remains No. 1 for a third week. It becomes the first song since EXO’s big hit “Growl” last year to record three straight weeks on top of our chart. Taking full advantage of the slower months of K-Pop at the beginning of the year, Girl’s Day establishes themselves as one of the rising girl groups (we have another two in this week’s top 10).

Ailee’s “Singing Got Better” continues to hold the No. 2 spot.  After topping the chart a month ago, this song stays strong at No. 2 for the past three weeks.

Moving up two spots to score their first top three hit is another rising girl group AOA. Their song “Miniskirt” won on SBS Inkigayo last week, their first ever music program win. Before this song, AOA didn’t even have a top 10 hit yet.  “Miniskirt” easily becomes their biggest hit so far.

We only have one new song in the top 10 this week, and is also from a rising female group.  Moving up 22 spots to No. 5 is Spica’s second straight top five hit “You Don’t Love Me.” Last year, Spica had their first big hit “Tonight” and  received very good reviews.  “You Don’t Love Me” was written by Spica’s mentor Lee Hyori. The song was inspired by 60s and 70s soul music with repetitive lyrics and brass performance.
