Weekly K-Pop Music Chart 2011 - June Week 3
Beast’s “Fiction” repeats as No. 1 this week on our chart and continues to increase in score. This song has swept nearly all music charts in Korea in the past few weeks. It has actually widened the gap between its closest challengers, which are, as expected from FT Island’s “Hello Hello” and Secret’s “Starlight Moonlight”. “Hello Hello” rises one spot to No. 2 despite dropping in points.
Secret’s “Starlight Moonlight” is our highest ranked new song in the top 10 this week, up eight spots from last week’s No. 11 to this week’s No. 3. The fast rising girl group has switched to a cute image this year with booming success on their five-week No. 1 song “Shy Boy”. “Starlight Moonlight” follows the same formula and is eyeing on the top spot.
The other two new entries in the top 10 are both brand new debuts. Members of SS501 are busy with their solo activities recently. Park Jung Min and Heo Young Saeng has already released their solo albums, and now it’s Kim Hyun Joong’s turn. The sneak preview song “Please” made a cameo appearance on our chart last week. The true title song of the album “Break Down” is the highest debut song on our chart this week at No. 9. “Break Down” already won the top song in Music Bank’s K-Chart this week. Expect this song to join the battle for No. 1 very soon.
Perhaps lost in the shadow of all idol groups on the chart, R&B trio 4men made a quiet yet impressive debut into the top 10 with their new song “One Time In Your Life”. Last year, this talented singing group had a breakthrough hit “Can’t Do”. This is 4men’s first full length album in five years in which fans has anticipated for a long time. Vibe’s Yoon Min Soo continues to be their lead producer. All 13 tracks on the album is already ranked on many internet charts in Korea, proofing once again that good music wins listeners’ heart.

THIS WEEK IN 2007:
In this segment we go back in time to re-visit charts of the same week in past years. The Soompi music chart began in January 2005. At first we had only 20 songs and later expanded to 50 songs.
2007 was the year that Wonder Girls and FT Island debuted. It was also the year for singers coming back with success after very long layoffs. Park Jin Young (JYP) and Toy (Yoo Hee Yeol) did that at the end of 2007. Perhaps they were inspired by the success Yangpa had in the middle of that year. After a six-year absence, Yangpa came back in the middle of 2007 with her fifth album “The Window Of My Soul”. Hitmaker Park Geun Tae teamed up with Yangpa to produce the title song “Love….What Is That?”. Known for her emotional vocals, this song is tailor-made for Yangpa’s voice. Soon after its releases, it became No. 1 song on our chart and stayed on top for three weeks.
One of my favorite ballads by a female singer in the last decade, let’s revisit the music video of this song: MV

About the Soompi Music Chart:
Soompi Music Chart is unlike any other music charts or television rankings. It takes into account not only sales and rankings by various other charts in Korea, but also airplays of each song, the number of live performances and appearances, making it an unbiased and objective tally of what’s going on in the world of K-pop. Our chart is composed of the following sources:
Air Monitor Chart – 15%
GAON Music Chart – 15%
Various Internet charts (Dosirak, Bugs, Melon, Naver, Monkey3, Daum, Cyworld, Soribada) – 15%
ChartKorea – 5%
Hottracks Weekly Album Sales (1 weeks lag) – 10%
SBS (Inky Gayo Take 7 + SBS Mill weekly rankings) – 10%
MBC Inky Top 100 Chart – 10%
KBS Music Bank K-Chart – 10%
MNet M!Countdown – 5%
Gasoo appearance on gayo shows (MBC Music Core, SBS Inky Gayo, KBS Music Bank, M!Countdown) – 10%
