[NEWS] BIGBANG RULE THE WOLRD

South Korean hip-hop/pop quintet Big Bang certainly won big at the MTV EMA awards on Sunday – scooping the award for Best Worldwide Act.

They beat off competition such as Britney Spears (representing the US) as well as artists Lena (from Germany), Restart (from Brazil) and Abdelfattah Grini (from Morocco).

Last.fm Trends looks at Big Bang’s scrobbles to see just how much they have exploded.

The formation of Big Bang was documented on television in 2006, with the band going on to release five studio albums and five EPs – with some of them targeted specifically at the Japanese market.

A total scrobble count of 15,791,121 make them one of the most scrobbled artists tagged as K-pop – an abbreviation of Korean pop. Running alongside them are acts such as SHINee (12,777,938 scrobbles) and Super Junior (14,129,224 scrobbles).

Their scrobbles on Last.fm took a dramatic leap earlier in the year with the release of the EP Tonight. The EP took their weekly scrobble count from around 70,000 to over 200,000 whilst the title track itself was listened to by 1,187 listeners last week alone.

The full-length Big Bang 2 was released in May, however as it was targeted to their Japanese fans it didn’t have quite the impact that Tonight had. With the exposure of an MTV EMA award win, it is a safe bet to say that their scrobble counts should shoot up again soon.

[NEWS] YG, “THE BEST” ENTERTAINMENT SHARES IS MAKING ITS WAY

On the 8th of November, Woori Investment & Securities stated and ranked YG Entertainment as, “One of the highest growing companies that produces the greatest contents with their verified capabilities for producing.”

As YG Entertainment has artists such as Se7en, Big Bang, G-Dragon, 2NE1, etc., they have been able to continuously grow throughout, and with the recent addition of Tablo and Psy, they have also been able to expand their line-up tremendously.

Researcher Yoo Jinho explained that, “The are currently 3 top companies that are individually claiming their spots within the music industry through their own brands,” and that, “Consumers are in a situation where they are able to personally see how these top three companies’ media royalty are rising.”

He then continued on to say that, “Recently, not only has the K-POP craze only been circulating among Japan, China, and the rest of Asia, but the preference for Korean music has risen tremendously in Europe, as well as America.” He was also able to add that, “I am especially looking forward to YG Entertainment’s growth.”

In addition to the 2011 Japan earthquake and Big Bang’s incidents and cases, it can be forseen that they will be able to avoid the 2011 incidents and achieve more growth if they actively promote in Japan in 2012.

As YG Entertainment’s demand forecast has come to an end on the 8th, they will take action with their subcriptions on the 14th - 15th. The cost for the recruitment and advertisement for it is estimated to be around 22,100WON~28800WON (around $19~$25 USD), and the estimated date for the certification of commendation is the coming 23rd
