What a week for DBSG! First, they captured another DaeSang in the Gold Disk Awards. Now they scored their first ever No. 1 hit song on our top 20 chart with "풍선" (Balloons). This song moves up 8 big spots to the top, and finally unseated Sung Shi Kyung’s 6-week No. 1 song "거리에서" (On The Street) from the top. DBSG’s previous song "오-정반합" was stuck at No. 2 behind Sung Shi Kyung. This time their new song got the sweet "revenge". smile.gif

Se7en’s "라 라 라" (LaLaLa) moves up to No. 3 this week. It’s score is not far behind DBSG. Looks like these 2 songs will battle for the top spot next week.

We have 3 new songs and a re-entry (Jaurim’s "You and Me" at No. 19) this week. This highest debut is from female rock singer Maya. Her song "나를외치다" (Crying Out Loud) enters our chart just short of the top 10 at No. 11 this week. Unlike her previous title songs, this song is a rock ballad which demonstrates Maya’s strong vocal. This song reminds me of "사랑은 영원하다" from her last album.

At No. 15 is the follow up song "결국…사랑" (In The End…Love) from Park Jung Ah’s 1st album. This song continues the rock style similar to her last hit "Yeah", but the melody is more contemporary. Singer Jun Je Duk is featured in this song.

The last new song at No. 17 is Big Bang’s "Goodbye Baby", from their 3rd single album. Big Bang has been releasing almost one single album per month, and each one is selling very well. Now they are ready to release their first full studio album next week.

Update on the 2006 Soompi Gayo Award: I have announced the nominees today in this thread:
