Weekly K-Pop Music Chart 2015 – May Week 4

[Newsie]

As expected, BIGBANG’s “LOSER” becomes our new winner this week, moving up three spots from No. 4 to No. 1. They scored a perfect 1000 points, meaning that they boast a unanimous No. 1 from all our chart sources. “LOSER” is the first song to achieve a perfect score in 2015. It happened four times last year. “LOSER” swept all the music shows and was also ranked No. 1 on most independent charts. Congratulations to BIGBANG. EXID’s “Ah Yeah” still remains strong, holding on to the No. 2 spot this week, while last week’s No. 1, BTS’ “I Need You,” drops two spots to No. 3. There are two new songs in the top 10 this week. Moving up 12 spots to No. 4 is BoA’s comeback hit “Who Are You,” featuring the rapping of Dynamic Duo’s Gaeko. This song is the preview single of BoA’s 8th album “Kiss My Lips,” her first full studio album in almost three years. “Who Are You” is a electronic style dance hit with guitar and bass arrangement. BoA wrote this song herself. The lyrics are about a couple on a blind date and how much excitement they have. BIGBANG has two songs in the top 10 this week as their other title song “BAE BAE” moves up eight spots to No. 7. “BAE BAE” is a different style than “LOSER” as it mixes members’ psychedelic sound throughout the song with its listener friendly melody. The song is created by Teddy along with G-Dragon and T.O.P. “BAE BAE” did not appear on some of the TV Network rankings as BIGBANG focus to promote “LOSER” more. Otherwise it should be ranked even higher. [chart id="251" items_limit="50" detailed_items="10"]
