Well, here we go again!! It's time for the K-pop Charts!! These are the songs that I have been listening to for the past couple of weeks. I hope you check them out and share the post.
1.
Lifted by CL: South Korea's
Baddest Female has finally made her US debut!!! After Lee Chae Rin signed with
Scooter Braun for management in the US as a solo artist, her fans were anxious
to see this new step on her career. So, two years later and the waiting stop.
CL made her solo debut with the song "Lifted" on August 18, which
brings a new sound based on the 1990's hip-hop. The song has been placed 14th on the Top 40 Hip
Hop Chart on iTunes, and was on top of the list on international iTunes chart
in Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. But even though she has achieved
recognition on the US music media, her pass success as part of 2NE1 and the PSY
sensation with "Gangnam Style" has shaded her success, since she hasn’t
been able to break into the mainstream of the US music industry. Nevertheless,
this song is a great way to prove that she has talent in the music industry,
and that she isn't afraid to take the risk of parting ways of the kpop trends
to make her own sound.
2.
Boombaya by Black
Pink: The most
anticipated girl group from YG Entertainment has finally made their debut.
After years of teasing the fans with videos from different trainees that could
be part of this new group, YG made the line-up public on June of this year,
with a four members group (Jennie, Jisoo, Rose and Lisa). Black Pink is the
first girl group the company has release since 2NE1, seven year ago. On August
14 the single and MV of "Boombaya" was release, and ranked 1st place on
Billboard's World Digital Songs.
3.
Into You by Kolaj
ft. Eric Nam: Into You is
actually a song from an indie dance-pop duo from the US, but Eric Nam is a well-known
singer and entertainer in South Korea. The song was release on June 9 on
iTunes, SoundCloud and Spotify. Nam co-produced and write lyrics for this song,
that is one of the main reasons for me to decide to put it on the list, and
because I have it almost all the time on repeat.
4.
Whistle by Black Pink: The second single
of the rookie group, "Whistle" has been placed 2nd on the Billboard's
World Digital Songs. Now the group is part of the seventh artist that has hit
the No. 1 spot on the list, with fellow label mates PSY, Big Bang, 2NE1, CL,
G-Dragon, Taeyang, and the boy groups EXO and BTS. The group is only the third
South Korean act to take the first two positions, alongside PSY and Big Bang.
5.
Lotto by EXO: On August 18 the group release a repackage of their last album
"Ex'Act" entitled "Lotto". The album contains the original
9 tracks from the last album with four new songs, one of them a remix for
"Monster". The song "Lotto (Louder)" was classified
unfitted for broadcast on KBS, one of the top stations on South Korea, since
"Lotto" is a brand on the country. But this didn’t stop the group to
appear on the channel, they changed the title track for KBS and MBC, and won
first place on several music shows.
6.
All Mine by f(x): After the
promotions for the album "4 Walls" ended on the last months of 2015,
the group has been busy working in solo promotions. Amber and Luna had release
tracks on 2016, and Victoria has been active as an actress in China, it was on
July that the group release the song "All Mine". The song was part of
the agency project SM Station, and was release while the group was busy on the
SM Town concerts on Japan. The song is a EDM track and the video was directed,
filmed and edited by Amber.

Jun. K (2PM): At the beginning
of August the 2PM member, Jun. K, made his solo comeback with the first Korean
album "Mr. No Love". The singer wrote the lyrics for the track
"Think About You" and co-composed the music for it. The song is about
how he can't get someone out of his head the regrets of heartbreak. All the
songs of the album were wrote by him and some of the compositions with other
musicians.
8.
