akp, gaon
Proud of Shinee for selling that many albums, even though it's a little weird that they're not on the other charts
Awesome that Ailee did so well. She deserved it.
Also yay @ SHINee and BB <3
I bought SHINee's album but haven't listened to the physical copy yet.
congrats to T-ara! though i honestly didn't like lovey dovey that much. i'll always prefer Roly Poly more. Busker Busker<333 so glad korea recognizes their talents.

fuck yes.
Also nice seeing Infinitize and It's sold well!!! keep it up bbs
Happy birthday, Taemin!
T-ara did well digitally last year with Roly Poly and Lovey Dovey this year. Their other singles did okay but Day by Day seems...not
Okay Ailee, Junsu, and Jay holding it down for the solo artists. Ailee should manage a best female rookie award.
Busker Busker is going to win SOMETHING at the end of the year
MBLAQ and Infinite doing okay
Look at my EXO babies on the chart at 10 and 15. M has been in the top 10 the last few weeks too.
anyone know how day by day is doing digitally. is t-ara living up to their digitial queens title
(but yes, so proud of him for ranking ^^)
