[Music Talk Talk] Always trustworthy YG… Climbing up music charts + Long-run
[OSEN=최나영 기자] The key-words that describe today’s YG Entertainment (“YG”) on music charts are “climbing up” and “long-run”. That is the outcome of YG’s concentration of music itself.
Group WINNER’s new song “REALLY REALLY” released on April 4 at 4PM took No.3 on the real-time chart of Korea’s biggest music-streaming website Melon on May 10 in the morning, after climbing up the chart again even though more than one month has passed from its release. Such record has been set in the sixth week from the release of WINNER’s new album.
People were doubtful about the success of WINNER’s new album, as the team had been absent from the music scene for a long time and one of the members left the team last year during the absence. However, WINNER has successfully broken through such doubts and been making remarkable achievement.
The driving force for such success was music, in the end. The “made by WINNER” music with their original color fascinated not only the team’s fans abut also wider group of the public. In addition, after Yang Se-hyung sang “REALLY REALLY” in MBC’s “The Infinite Challenge” show recently, WINNER got a bigger momentum to climb up the charts.
YG’s head producer YANG HYUN SUK expressed how much he is happy for WINNER’s record on charts, by saying on his social media account, “#WINNER #REALLYREALLY #6 weeks since release #climbing up charts #No.3 #Long-run #Thanks Infinite Challenge #Thanks Yang Se-hyung #WINNER here # FATENUMBER FOR #444 posting for WINNER #YG”.
While WINNER is enjoying such great popularity, music fans are paying keen attention to what new records their long-run on charts will create.
In the meantime, brother and sister duo AKMU has also been staying in top places on charts for a long time. “Last Goodbye” released on January 3 this year is recording long-run on major music charts, climbing up those charts again and again for more than four months and enjoying great popularity from the public.
AKMU’s power is exerted not just on music charts. All tickets of the eight shows of AKMU’s national tour concert “Diary” recorded sell-out upon the ticket opening. The tour has been actually filled up with audience and every show has finished in a great success. Such success of AKMU has been achieved solely because of the quality of their music, too.
The music of WINNER and AKMU is making YG all the more “trustworthy”, further enhancing the public’s trust in the quality of YG music. As YG is continuing to work hard from the beginning of this year, music fans are paying keen attention and showing great anticipation for the songs that will be released by YG artists from now on.
