Top 20 K-Pop Songs of 2015 in Taiwan Revealed

According to a Taiwanese music site, KKBOX, EXID’s “Up & Down” is the number one song on the K-pop singles chart for 2015.

KKBOX began in 2004, and includes 10 million users from not only Taiwan, but also Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia; and Thailand. Since its unveiling, it has become the number one online music streaming site in Taiwan.

Released on February 3, the chart not only shows EXID taking the number one spot, but they also are in number six for their song “Ah Yeah,” which was also fifth in the album category, showing the sharp increase in popularity EXID experienced last year.
