edward1849 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 March week 2Finally! Finally! After 60 weeks (starting from the beginning of last year), a female artist finally hits #1 on this chart. In fact, both #1 and #2 are female artists. It takes 2 mega stars, and good friends, to break this dry spell. Lee Soo Young and Lee Hyori are #1 and #2 respectively this week. I don't think neither of them mind who's #1 as they are close friends. It is certainly a welcome change of scene. Overall, it is a very competitive week in terms of chart scores. Only 3 new songs this week, but 2 debut into the top 10, led by Super Junior's 2nd hit "Miracle" at #6. Let see if they can surpass the popularity of their first hit "Twins" which ended up at #4 a few weeks ago.

Guest JCho7 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 can't wait till the new clazziquai come out. I think I have all their album except for the remix album.. (since I got no clue where to buy that...) Lol I hope someone besides lee soo young (thats female) will be number one. I mean she is like the only female artist that has gone to #1 (recently) I think it's too much of a male dominance in the music industry... just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
