[NEWS] BIGBANG ON K-POP : 5 BANDS LOOKING TO SMASH UK/US CHARTS
BIGBANG
Perhaps the most popular boyband – BIGBANG (they love capitalisation in K-Pop). If they’re not the most popular they certainly have the most hardcore fanbase, known as the VIPS, who helped vote them into the position of Best Worldwide Act at last year’s MTV Europe Video Music Awards fending off competition from that little-known performer Britney Spears (and we know how crazy her fans can be – yes i’m looking at you Chris Crocker). They’ve experienced a change of style in recent years with their current incarnation (seen in the video for Fantastic Baby below) coming across like an anime punk version of Backstreet Boys’ Backstreet’s Back video with a whole lot of studs, coloured hair and bare chests. All five BIGBANG members have had successful solo careers on the side (each has had at least one number one single or album in South Korea) before recently coming back together with this new vision proving you can take a break successfully (Girls Aloud take note). Their most recent EP release Alive was the first K-Pop album sung in Korean to hit the Billboard 200 Albums chart recently as sees the guys try everything from the like-LMFAO-but-less-annoying Fantastic Baby to hip-hop inflected Bad Boy to some stood-on-a-rooftop boyband ballad-ness on Blue. If you’re looking for something a bit more aligned with chart music of the moment have a gander at Tonight which could have been any of the big electro dance pop hits of last year only sang in Korean. Each of the members have their own strengths (member G-Dragon being an extremely accomplished producer/songwriter always helps) which means they can adapt chameleon like to whatever genre they want – a bonus if they want to crack the big western charts.

[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.
