Halfway into 2011 from KARA, BEAST, MBLAQ, and Jang Geun Suk this year continues to be one of the most successful years Korean artists have had in entering the Japanese market, and releasing their 2nd album earlier last week, BIG BANG is the latest to hit the record books.
After small setbacks last year with their “Beautiful Hangover” single failing to crack the Top 5 like previous releases, 2011 is proving to be new beginnings for Big Bang with their success on the charts.
“BIG BANG 2″ was not only able to chart #1 consecutively for 5 days selling over 65,000 copies, but in doing so they knocked Japanese veteran artist Namie Amuro off the top spot, after nearly topping the charts for 3rd straight week.
With this Big Bang enters Oricon’s Weekly Charts as the 3rd Korean group to ever chart no.1 following TVXQ “BEST SELECTION” and JYJ’s “The…”. But because TVXQ’s album was a “best of” while JYJ’s album was released as a mini album, “BIG BANG 2″ is the first original full length album to chart #1.
Achieving their 1st #1 album since their debut back in 2008, is Big Bang ready for their 1st no.1 single?
SOL: "I have not ever thought of gaining the 1st place in Oricon weekly chart! BIGBANG has been trying hard rather than simply waiting, giving fans an impression that what they ‘think’ can actually be realized. I am very delighted about it. I am not stubborn about the ranking (although I still want to challenge to get the 1st spot in the monthly chart), I would like to work with our first intention of making music. I want to express my gratitude to every fan and staff. Thanks!"
COOOOOONGRATULATIOOOONS TO OUR BOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAA!!!!!!!!! THE FIRST KOREAN GROUP TO ACHIEVE THIS!!!! HOW AMAZIIIIIIIIIING!!! BUT BIG BANG WOULDN'T BE SOO SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT OUR BAEBYYYY!!!!!! WE WILL KEEP SUPPORTING AND LOVING HIM FOREVER!!!!
TAEYANG always VIP*.*
