GFRIEND’s “Me Gustas Tu” – Released July 7, 2015

Even though GFRIEND just released a new mini-album, “SNOWFLAKE” on January 25, “Me Gustas Tu” doesn’t seem to want to fall down the rankings. According to MelOn Chart, at 8 a.m. KST on January 26, this song was still in the Top 30, despite having been released last summer. Their new song, “Rough,” is doing just as well, currently ranking 1st-3rd place across different music platforms.
