[Music Talk Talk] “BIGBANG’s only rival is BIGBANG”… In the No.1 on chart for 3 months in a row

BIGBANG’s only rival is BIGBANG themselves. The team took the No.1 on monthly charts for three months in a row since May this year, with “MADE” project. The new songs released this month are also sweeping music charts.

BIGBANG is a group who has strong fandom and popularity. Every song the team releases takes the No.1 on charts and draws a keen attention from foreign fans, too. Notably, BIGBANG is thought to be a musician, rather than just an idol group. The members write their own songs, so BIGBANG always maintains their unique color and always entertains fans with fresh and new trials every time they release a new song.

The new BIGBANG is surprisingly different.

Group BIGBANG released new single “E” on August 5 at 0 o’clock. The August’s new single includes new song “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE”, as well as “ZUTTER” which is a song released by GD&TOP for the first time in five years. The two songs that have completely different moods and colors are something that “only BIGBANG” can do, which show idol group BIGBANG’s wide artistic spectrum.

◈ “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE” – Beautiful but sad youth

“LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE” is a song filled with joyful and fluttering emotions, in which a sentimental melody line and five member’s different vocals are harmonized together. Such young and fresh beauty is expressed based on a sorrowful emotion. The song’s lyrics that say “let’s not fall in love” because he knows how love ends, paradoxically expresses a strong craving for pure love.

[Oh! SEN FOCUS] From BIGBANG to PSY, when the rush of YG will stop?

YG is sweeping music charts in 2015, with a formidable power. Centering around BIGBANG who has been releasing new songs for five months in a row, YG’s leading singers are coming back one after another. Plus, YG is strongly supporting entertainment programs, with G-DRAGON and TAEYANG appearing in the music festival of “The Infinite Challenge”, as well as Hyuk Oh of YG’s sister label HIGHGRND performing in the same show. Furthermore, in September, PSY will come back and iKON will make an official debut. Will this rush of YG ever end?

YG fans call it “chewing up the charts”. It refers to YG’s domination of music charts, as shown by all new songs of BIGBANG released in May ranked in top places on charts, the songs setting highest-ever streaming volume record on charts and taking the No.1 on charts for the longest-ever period of time. Such a record is all the more meaningful as it is set in an environment completely different from a few years ago, when BIGBANG and 2NE1 were the only YG singers who could sweep charts like that.
