Weekly K-Pop Music Chart 2011 - August Week 4
Super Junior’s “Mr. Simple” continues to increase their lead on our chart and has repeated as No. 1. While last week was a close call, this week they are a clear cut No. 1. “Mr. Simple” is the title song of their fifth album of the same name. This song and album has received even better responses than anticipated. Perhaps it has something to do with the groups’ uncertain near future as more members are going to be enlisted in army: Heechul just announced he will join the army next Thursday (September 1) and Leeteuk is expected to join him soon. Fans are cherishing every bit of Super Juniors’ songs and performances now.
Sistar’s “So Cool” leapfrogged many songs and lands on the No. 2 spot in just its second week on the chart. This song should have the best chance to become the next No. 1 song. Girl power has continuously been strong this year as groups seem to take turns, generatinghit songs. It’s Sistar’s turn now and they may have their first ever chart topping hit.
2NE1’s “Ugly” remained steady at No. 3. Again this song is hurt by the group’s lack of performances compared to other artists in the top 10. Last week, their only appearance was on SBS Inkigayo while normally but most chart topping artists appear on all four music shows. While the quality of the song and fans’ perception is not affected by how frequent an artist goes on promoting the song, its disadvantage is apparant on a ranking system like us that involves singers’ media exposures.
There are two new songs in the top 10. Rookie girl group DalShabet already has three mini-albums under their belt and they are poised to make a run at the top new artist of 2011. Their latest hit “Bling Bling” helped their cause as it jumps 16 spots to No. 6 this week. It is a trendy number with a bright and cool feel. Fans who listen to this dance number will find themselves shaking their body to the beat. This is DalShabet’s first ever top 10 hit.
At No. 8 is Superstar K Season 1 winner Seo In Kook’s latest single “Shake It Up”. While Seo In Kook is known for his R&B ballads, he is releasing an upbeat song this time to match the season,. “Shake It Up” is a dance number reminiscent of the music style popular in the 90’s and 2000.
