Which K-Pop songs made it into Hit FM's Top 100 Singles Chart in Taiwan in 2012?


Every December, Taiwan's radio station "Hit FM" compiles the year's most popular singles based on the fans' and the general public's votes. Ever since the Hallyu Wave invaded Taiwan several years ago, K-Pop songs have had a great presence on this chart. This chart is watched by many because, in addition to it being a fan-voted chart, it takes into consideration songs of different languages, and as a result, the competition is fierce.

Leading K-Pop artists on the chart is Super Junior, which grabbed the number three spot with "Sexy, Free & Single."
Another big winner of this chart is Big Bang. The group has proven its popularity in Taiwan after selling out its concert dates back in October. Their popularity is also supported by the results of this chart, as "Fantastic Baby" was the second highest ranked K-Pop song at #14, with "Bad Boy" following behind at #58. G-Dragon's "Crayon" settled in at #44.
Other songs by Korean artists that made it onto the chart are as follows:
#18 - Psy's "Gangnam Style"
#25 - TaeTiSeo's "Twinkle"
#29 - f(x)'s "Electric Shock"
#35 - Jung Yonghwa's "You've Fallen For Me"
#37 - Girls' Generation's "Paparazzi"
#49 - CNBLUE's "Hey You"
#55 - Girls' Generation's "Flower Power"
