Okay, Let’s start this latest week of June with SOOMPI‘s K-Pop Music Chart, which also my latest post before I take a long break ๐
1. (–) CNBlue – Love *** 3 WEEKS NO. 1 ***
Score: 926
Genre: Rock
Music: SEIKOZI / Lyrics: Han Sung Ho
Album: CNBlue 2nd mini-album “Blue Love” Track 1
Comment: CNBlue remains No. 1 with “Love” for the third straight week. Being the top rookie group in 2010, CNBlue had hyped up the music scene with their single, “Loner” earlier this year has returned with their second mini album. Their songs are upgraded alternative rock based ballads with a hint of rap, showcasing their full potential as a band.
2. (–) SS501 – Love Ya
Score: 847
Genre: Pop / Dance
Music: Steven Lee / Lyrics: Lee Seung Je
Album: SS501 mini-album “Destination” Track 2
Comment: SS501’s “Love Ya” remains at No. 2 this week. After their mini album last September [REBIRTH], SS501 is recognized for [Love Like This],[WASTELAND],[Just One Day]is back with new mini-album (DESTINATION). SS501 worked on this album for 3 months after finishing their Asia Tour. This album worked as a world project and even the jacket cuts are gaining attention. American Producer Steven Lee who worked with REBIRTH (famous for global gold disks) is back for another run and this album is quite universal with a combination of American, European and and Korean sounds. This album can be recognized and differentiated from other groups for less electronic sounds but more piano, lived based to express SS501’s sincere emotions. The title song LOVE YA is produced by Steven Lee and rings out with the harmony of the orchestra and piano. This allows SS501’s powerful but sincerity to be expressed.
3. (–) 4minute – Huh
Score: 813
Genre: Pop / Dance
Album: 4minute 2nd mini-album “Hit Your Heart” Track 2
