Weekly Music Chart 2007 - April week 1

	category:

No. 1 song: Ivy remains No. 1 for the 3rd straight week with "ì í¹ì ìëí" (Temptation of Sonata). This song scored a chart record 997 points this week, just 3 points shy of a perfect 1000 score. The previous record was Buzz's "ê²ìì´" (Coward) which scored 996 points exactly 2 years ago on April week 1 of 2005 chart. Ivy's song was No. 1 on every chart in Korea last week. The only drawback to prevent her from getting a perfect score was that her song was not listed in MTV Korea's chart. Biggest Mover of the week: As expected, Yoon Ha's "ë¹ë°ë²í¸ 486" (Secret Number 486) is the biggest mover, up 26 spots to No. 19 this week. Yoon Ha brings us a unique brand of pop rock music, and she plays the piano very well as seen from her live performances. Her first full Korean album is also doing very well on the album sales chart. Look for this song to crack into the top 10 very soon. Hot shot debut: Veteran Kim Gun Mo, one of the most respected singers in Korea, has our highest debut this week at No. 14 with the title song from his 11th album "íììë¹" (Scarecrow). This result already surpassed the title song "Moon of Seoul" from his previous album which only went to No. 20. Even though Kim Gun Mo's popularity and album sales is not what it is used to be, he still got a loyal fan base of all ages. We are seeing his latest album among the top sellers again. He should complete his long awaited return to the top 10 next week. New songs: We have 10 new songs and 1 re-entry this week. Songs to watch out: 8. Lyn - ì´ë³ì´ì´ (Separate Life) - Lyn is back to the top 10 with this title song from her 4th album, up 10 spots to No. 8. The popularity of this song has already surpassed songs from her 3rd album. Let see if this song can do even better than her biggest hit "ì¬ëíìì". 17. Evan - ë¨ìë… ì´ì© ì ìë¤ (Man…Are Unavoidable) - Former Click B member Yoo Ho Suk comes back as a soloist and adopts a new name (Evan is his English name). Just like Oh Jong Hyuk (another Click B member who has released a solo album), Even's music is very different from his days in Click B. This song is has an easy listening melody which is a combination of R&B and Jazz. Oh Jong Hyuk's first solo song "ì£½ìë§í¼…" (Deadly) went to No. 6 last year. We'll see if Evan can match his ex-groupmate's success. 18. Epik High - Love Love Love - 2nd single from the trio's mega-successful 4th album, this song replaced "Fan" on the chart. Epik High continues to please fans with their commercial hip-hop songs and great arrangements. Looks like this is another top 10 hit for them. 27. Kim Dong Ryul - ê°ì¬ (Thank You) - Singer-songwriter Kim Dong Ryul recently released a best hit album that included all his greatest hits of the last 10 years. This is one of the new songs. The album is surprisingly selling very well. 34. NoRaJo - ì¬ìê²°ë¨ (Desperation) - One of the funniest duos in k-pop. NoRaJo reminded me of Country Kko Kko. It's always a joy to watch their live performance. This song is as fun as their debut song "Happy Song" 2 years ago. 47. As One (feat. Son Ho Young) - ë¤ì ë´ê³ì¼ë¡ (Beside Me Again) - We've heard many duets in k-pop this year and here is another one. It's from As One's recently released special album "5 Love Stories that we know". 4 of the 5 ballads are duets, and this one featuring Son Ho Young is the one than fans want to hear most.
