Group BIGBANG is hitting the jackpot overseas, going beyond Korea, with their new songs released by the complete team after three years of absence.
BIGBANG’s new single album “M” released on May 1 at 0 o’clock (KST) is topping Top Singles Songs chart, which is iTunes’ main single chart, in 10 countries: Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macao, Malaysia, Philippines, Romania, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, and Vietnam, as of May 1 at 7am. The single has two new songs, “LOSER” and “BAE BAE”.
In addition, the single album is in top ten places in the iTunes chart of total 22 countries: in the 2nd place in Argentina, Paraguay, and Latvia, 3rd in Cambodia and Sweden, 7th in New Zealand, Finland, and Brunei, 8th in Columbia and Mexico, and 10th in Canada and Czech Republic.
Such a record is the proof which shows the fact that music fans not only in Korea but also around the world have keen interest in BIGBANG’s comeback as a complete team.
“LOSER” and “BAE BAE” dominated Korea’s major music charts upon their release. As the two songs are taking No.1 and No.2 on music charts of the nine major music-streaming websites in Korea, the power of BIGBANG coming back after a long time of absence has been proven once again.
“LOSER” is a song that talks about the feelings of a loner. Its beat is not strong and the tempo is not quick, but one can instantly tell it is a BIGBANG song once hearing it. The calm and rhythmical rap and catchy repeat part of the song captivate listeners. T.O.P and G-DRAGON took part in writing the lyrics, TAEYANG in composing the melody, and TEDDY supported BIGBANG members for producing.
“BAE BAE” is a song of a completely different genre. G-DRAGON and T.O.P took part in writing the melody and lyrics of the song. TEDDY also worked with BIGBANG members, in writing the lyrics, composing the melody, and arranging the entire song. Quick-tempoed rap in the beginning arouses curiosity, then, the tender vocal follows to mesmerize listeners. The instrumental accompaniment is rather simple to the extent that it feels like a dream. Generally, the song has some experimental elements that are colorful and dynamic, but subtly catchy at the same time.
Beginning from May 1, BIGBANG is carrying out “MADE” project in which they release more than one new songs in project “M” to “D” on the 1 of every month until August. Then, on September 1 finally, complete “MADE” album will be unveiled.
