Weekly K-Pop Music Chart 2011 - June Week 1
Many changes in the top this week as the top three songs are totally different from last week. Baek Ji Young’s “Average” was not even in the top 10 last week, surprisingly stole the top spot this week over two songs seemingly with more fan favor. Since switching to ballads on her 5th album in 2006, Baek Ji Young has enjoyed enormous success and is always one of the top female soloists. Over thnoe last two years, she proved her versatility going back and forth between dance and ballad songs. “Normally” is the title song from Baek Ji Young’s 8th album PITTA. This ballad is written by Hitman Bang, who also has Lim Jung Hee’s “Golden Lady” in the top 5 this week.
Beast’s “Fiction” moves up six spots to No. 2 this week. After breaking out last year, they are destined for super stardom this year. “Fiction” has been two weeks No. 1 on Music Bank K Chart and also on M!Countdown. It has a good chance to move up to the top next week.
2NE1’s “Lonely” is up to No. 3 this week. This song is probably hurt by the lack of promotions, otherwise it is already No. 1. Last week their lone appearance in SBS Inky Gayo won them the Mutizen song.
There is only one other new song in the top 10 besides the No. 1 song by Beak Ji Young. It is FT Island’s “Hello Hello”, the title song from their 3rd mini-album “Return”. Debuting at No. 9 this week, “Hello Hello” is a very upbeat, fast (200 BPM) and cheerful rock track that uses a fresh acoustic sound for the intro and an overall fast rock sound. The song’s about sending off the person you love and feeling dissatisfied. Therefore, a farewell greeting is replaced with a hello greeting, which is characterized by an ironic expression. Next week “Hello Hello” may join the competition for No. 1 as well.
