Weekly K-Pop Music Chart 2012 - May Week 3
The first sub-group from Girl’s Generation, TaeTiSeo, did what the main group has always been doing – getting chart topping hits. The trio of TaeYeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun, scores their first No. 1 song for this sub-unit as “Twinkle” moves up five spots to overtake Sistar’s two-week champion “Alone”. “Twinkle” swept all music shows last week, so it is not surprising this song is No. 1 here. The victory margin (956 to 932) is not as big as expected since “Alone” is still ahead of “Twinkle” on several chart sources.
Moving up six spots and coming in at a distant third this week is Park Jin Young (JYP)’s own song “You’re The One.” This song has received good responses despite limited promotion by JYP. Fans of his famous produced artists must be rooting for him on this song.
There are three new songs this week. At No. 7, ballad duo December scores yet another top 10 song “She’s Gone,” moving up 11 spots this week. December has been quietly collecting hits after hits in the last two years and their ballads are always mainstream enough to attract listeners. Their latest hit “She’s Gone” is a medium tempo ballad by Cho Young Soo. Fans are able to see another side of the duo by hearing both soulful vocals and rap.
The other two new songs are preview singles, which has been a new trend for singers who is going to release their albums soon. At No. 8, “Korea’s little sister” IU is coming back with a self written ballad “Peach.” It is a mellow, acoustic number that shows a 180 degree transformation of the singer. The song is about feeling nervous about love at a young age.
At No. 10, ballad queen Baek Ji Young released an R&B number “Voice” featuring Gary of Leessang. Fans of both musicians will appreciate yet another collaboration between these two singers. “Voice” is our highest debutant on the chart this week.
“Peach” and “Voice” will be replaced by album title songs “Every End Of The Day” and “Good Boy” soon.

THIS WEEK IN 2009:
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.
There are two groups who performed well on May Week 3. We already covered SG Wannabe last year. This time we’ll talk about 2PM. They scored No. 1 this week on both 2009 and 2010 with “Again And Again” and “Without You.”. Originally a seven-membered group, Jay Park left the group in 2010 and they have been a six member group ever since. 2009 was the best year so far in their career as they scored three big hits “Again And Again”, “I Hate You” and “Heartbeat.” 2PM ran away with the top male group and chart champion on our year end Soompi Gayo Award.
“Again And Again” was No. 1 for three weeks starting this week in 2009. Let’s review this song’s MV.
