As 2NE1 slips back into the #1 spot on Melon, GAON has released their weekly chart updates. With only 3 days to chart, ‘Missing You' tops the overall DA (digital aggregate) chart and the download chart. The song is also #2 on the BGM (background music) chart. While it is lower than some might expect on streaming and mobile, usually numbers of these charts improve starting the 2nd charting week. With a full 7 days of sales 2NE1 may take #1 again next week! Until then check out the full rankings below:
Unfortunately the news is not as good on the Billboard Kpop Hot 100 where ‘Missing You’ just misses the top spot, landing at #2. This is the 3rd #2 single for 2NE1 this year as even ‘Falling in Love' missed #1 by one spot. Despite the fact that Youtube views have an impact on Billboard rankings and 2NE1’s MV has passed 5 million views, it wasn’t enough for first place. Here at YGLadies we will keep out eyes out for the next update when 2NE1 has a good shot at taking their first Billboard #1 of the year.
The release of ‘Missing You’ seems to have made many nostalgic for 2NE1’s vocals as their 2012 Live album from their New Evolution tour has jumped an amazing 313 spots on GAON’s physical albums chart, landing at #85.
In a recent interview CL and the rest of the members mentioned their desire to have a full album out before their new world tour starts in March of next year, but until then continue to support ‘Missing You’. To find out how you can as an international fan, check this post out.
