Weekly Music Chart 2007 - June week 3
No. 1 song: As expected, Yangpa has the new No. 1 song with "사랑…그게 뭔데" (Love…What Is That?). She edged out SG Wannabe’s “한여름날의꿈” (One Summer Dream) by 15 points. Yangpa has enjoyed a very successful comeback after a layoff of 6 years, capped by this No. 1 song and her top-selling album “Windows of My Soul”.
Biggest Mover of the week: A surprise song is our biggest mover – Banana Girl’s (feat. Lee Yeon Ji)’s 쵸콜렛 (Chocolate). As I mentioned last week, Banana Girl is a project album of dance music that features a different female singer each time. Lee Yeon Ji is featured on this song. A bevy of female stars – Kan Mi Youn, Star, Bae Sul Gi, Solbi (Typhoon), Hanna and Son Myung Eun – appears in the music video, upping the merriment in general.
Hot shot debut: Dynamic Duo (feat. Naul)’s “출첵” (Attendance Checkup) is our highest debut this week at No. 27. Dynamic Duo has the top-selling album in Korea now. This hip-hop duo also has their mainstream breakthrough on their last album, like Lee Ssang. Their music is more hard core hip-hop. This song is going to move up a lot next week when the album sales score kicks in. The music video spoofs various TV programs, adding to the fun of the story.
New songs: We have 6 new songs and 2 re-entries this week.
Songs to watch out:
4. See Ya – 사랑의인사 (Love Greeting) – This song is moving up quickly on the chart, up 12 spots to No. 4. It is not surprising as all but one of See Ya’s singles have reached the top 5. With their success, I think See Ya has become the top female group in Korea now. This is definitely a potential No. 1 song.
14. Hyun Young – 연애혁명 (Love Revolution) – Hyun Young returns to the top 20 with a re-make of popular Japanese group Morning Musume's “Love Revolution21”. Hyun Young’s last hit “Noona’s Dream” was also a re-make so it is not surprising to see her doing it again.
32. Goodbye Sadness – 오죽했으면 (How desperate) – moved up steadily (9 spots) in its 2nd week on the chart. This singer with a husky voice has gained popularity with this song which has received strong airplay and is doing well on internet charts, even though he has not performed this song on TV shows. The music video, starring Jung Il Woo and Paik Sung Hyun, is about a man betraying a friend to seek revenge for his father's death. Jung Il Woo exudes charisma in his role.
45. DBSG -하루달 (Air City OST) (Day Moon) – title song from the mega MBC weekend drama starring Lee Jung Jae and Choi Ji Woo. The drama rating is disappointing, but the OST features many SM Entertainment artists. DBSG sang this title song. Unlike other DBSG hits, don’t expect this song to go too high on the chart unless they are coming out to perform (which it won’t happen). The scores are purely based on album sales.
Top 20 countdown: Be sure to check out the top 20 countdown on this chart every Friday on Big B Radio. The time is 9pm to 11pm EST.

Sources of the top 20
The sources of this top 20 chart are pretty much the same, but the weight assigned to each source may be different each week because some charts do not update weekly (e.g. MNet M!Countdown) and I assign fewer percentage when it happens. From now on, I'll list my chart sources each week. For June week 3:
ChartKorea – 20%
Hanteo and KMDIA Weekly Album Sales (2 weeks lag) – 20%
MNet M!Countdown – 20%
SBS – Inky Gayo Take 7 poll + Internet Chart + MP3 Download Chart (1 week lag) – 5%
Channel [V] Korean [V] Countdown – 5%
Various Internet charts (Melon, Jukeon, Dosirak, MNet, Muz, Bugs, Ohdio, Soribada) – 15%
Hanteo Gayo Chart – 10% (1 week lag)
Gasoo appearance on gayo shows (MBC Show! Music Core, Dream Concert, KBS Music Bank, KBS Yoon Do Hyun Love Letter, MNet M!Countdown, Show Music Tank, Channel[V] A-Live "Big Day Out Fantasia", Pops In Seoul) – 5%
