[NEWS] Billboard, BIGBANG “Pulls off a chart feat only PSY could previously claim for Korean acts”


America’s music medium Billboard spotlighted BIGBANG who occupied top two slots in the World Digital Songs. It wrote, “The chart-toppers list is also notable for only including acts from YG Entertainment.”

It highlighted the fact that “the quintet pull off a chart feat only PSY could previously claim for Korean acts” on May 8th local date.

YG’s global popularity is well proven in the line, “BIGBANG also becomes the fourth K-pop act to top the ranking… The chart-toppers list is also notable for only including acts from YG Entertainment.”

It wrote, “Previously, the only K-pop act to hold World Digital Song’s top two spots was PSY on the chart.”

“Previously, the only K-pop act to hold World Digital Song’s top two spots was PSY on the chart dated April 27, 2013 when he sent “Gentleman” to No. 1 as “Gangnam Style” sat in the runner-up position.”

“BIGBANG also becomes the fourth K-pop act to top the ranking. Along with PSY, 2NE1 held the spot with “I Am the Best” (ruling for one week in November 2014 and another week in February 2015) as did BIGBANG’s own members G-Dragon and Taeyang for their collaboration “Good Boy” (one week in December 2014) which was officially accredited to GD x TaeYang.”

It also gave a short introduction of BIGBANG’s agency: “YG Entertainment is one of South Korea’s biggest record labels headed by Yang Hyun-Suk, who was one of Billboard’s 2014 International Power Players. YG Entertainment is also home to Epik High, WINNER, Jinusean, Akdong Musician, Lee Hi and more.”

It concluded, “BIGBANG has teased they’ll release more than one new song at the top of every month until September, meaning they could certainly rock World Digital Songs (and potentially other charts) throughout the entire summer.”
