Billboard Launches K-Pop Hot 100 List

Posted on August 26, 2011 by Xxxtine

In conjunction with Billboard Korea, Billboard.com has now included in its international section Billboard K-pop Hot 100 based on “digital sales via leading websites as well as downloads from mobile service sites using an industry-standard formula and the most credible music data sources within Korea.” In its inaugural list, Sistar’s recently released track “So Cool” tops the chart followed by Leesang’s “I Turned Off The TV” and 2NE1’s “Ugly.” Not surprisingly, girl groups dominate the top five positions. The Hot 100 chart franchise also includes Hot 100 charts from Japan, UK, Germany and Canada. Let the fandom butthurt begin…Or rather, continue.

About Xxxtine

The main Canuck here I (sometimes) give a different perspective. I used to be 'read only' but you can actually hear me via POP 88 on 8Asians podcasting sister site Popcast88.com. Always trying to find that right balance between fluff and substance, I tend to focus my interests in discovering different perspectives. Look forward to hearing (and perhaps seeing) things you wouldn't anywhere else. Current vice and embarrassingly obsessed with: Kpop group AFTER SCHOOL
