Weekly K-Pop Music Chart 2011 - September Week 2

Despite dropping in scores, SISTAR's "So Cool" has widened the gap on its competitors and become No. 1 for the second straight week. SISTAR is still looking for a win in TV station music programs, but their scores are balanced enough from all sources that they are clear No. 1 on our chart this week.  We mentioned last week that all No. 1 songs in recent months spent two weeks max on top.  Let see if SISTAR can break this spell next week.

Infinite's "Be Mine" moves back up to No. 2 this week, carrying on the strength that this song was No. 1 on MNet's M!Countdown. It was Infinite's first win on a music program.  "Be Mine" has been strong in the top five for many weeks now despite strong competitions coming and going every week. This song has become a fixture among the top.

We have three new songs in the top 10 this week, leading by G.na's "Top Girl".  This song debuted just outside of the top 10 last week, but moves up eight spots to No. 3 this week. Great chance to become our new No. 1 song. G.na who debuted just last year has risen fast to become one of the top female soloists in Korea now. “Top Girl”, which was co-composed by hit maker Kim Do Hun and producer Lee Sang Ho and penned by Wheesung. The addictive, strong melodies and polished sounds show G.Na’s confidence as the title suggests.

Coming into the top 10 at No. 8 is hip-hop duo Lee Ssang's new song "Guy's Like Me's Answer Is You". This song was banned by KBS for negativity in its lyrics but it doesn't affect its popularity. In fact, all songs from Lee Ssang's latest album Asura Balbalta have dominated online music charts and also sales charts. Even though Lee Ssang has not made any appearances to promote this album yet, they are in the top 10.

At No. 10 is our highest debut this week, from Davichi's long awaited comeback song "Don't Say Goodbye".  Many new girl groups have debuted after Davichi but the duo of Kang Min Kyung and Lee Hae Ri is still very strong in popularity.  "Don't Say Goodbye" has modern instruments and piano in medium tempo. The song emphasizes Lee Hae Ri's emotional yet powerful vocals while matching Kang Min Kyung's soulful voice. The song is about saying goodbye to a lover in Davichi's own colors.
