[NEWS] Big Bang’s staying power, “Fantastic Baby” in Top 10 on music charts for 10 consecutive weeks


Big Bang once again proved that they were the kings of K-Pop.

Their fifth mini-album ‘ALIVE’ has been acknowledged for it’s strong staying power, as “Fantastic Baby” still remains on the charts 10 weeks after it’s release. “Fantastic Baby” is #8 on Melon, #9 on Mnet.com, and #10 on Olleh Music.

Representatives from the music industry remarked, “In the music market, new albums get shuffled around and the life span of songs on music charts are extremely short. There are many songs that seize the #1 spot in real time, but there are very few that remain within the Top 10 for more than 2 weeks.”

“Big Bang’s long 2-month run is truly a rare sight,” they continued.

Big Bang’s hits “Blue”, “Fantastic Baby”, “Bad Boy”, “Ain’t No Fun”, and “Love Dust” all ranked within the Top 10 on the various Korean music sites.

The boys will wrap up their promotions for ‘ALIVE’ with a final performance on April 29th’s ‘Inkigayo’, and will begin shifting their focus to their Japanese Tour starting in early May.
