[OSEN=권지영 기자] Girl group 2NE1 is exerting their potential by topping music-streaming website MelOn’s “ALBUM TOP20” chart for five consecutive weeks. 2NE1 has also been topping “ARTIST TOP20” chart for five weeks in a row, proving their high popularity.

2NE1’s second full-length album “CRUSH”, which was released at 0am on February 26 this year, first topped weekly “ALBUM TOP20” for the week from February 24 to March 2, and then has been in the No.1 place of the chart for five consecutive weeks until the week from March 24 to 30.

Plus, 2NE1 has been in the top place of “ARTIST TOP20” chart for five weeks in a row during the same period, too, which shows that 2NE1 was the most loved Korean singer during that time.

2NE1’s second full-length album swept the No.1 on music charts upon its release. “COME BACK HOME”, one of the double title tracks of the album, took the top place, while most of the other tracks enjoyed a big popularity, being placed in top 10 ranks on the chart of ten major music-streaming websites in Korea.

Furthermore, 2NE1 has made a success overseas, too, as they have achieved the record-high ranking on Billboard’s album chart for the first time for a Korean pop singer, with “CRUSH” entering “Billboard 200” chart at 61st place.

Meanwhile, 2NE1 has been actively performing their new songs since the release of the new album. They are to meet Chinese fans on the 11 this month, at Shanghai concert of their world tour.

    Huh. That sure changes everything. I thought the digital points has bigger percentage than that SNS points or something. Oh well. At the end of the day, it’s just a popularity contest. I hope 2ne1 will get the recognition they ACTUALLY deserve.

    i think the results from award shows are rigged. 2NE1 would be leading in all of the digital points but the SNS, preference scores..etc can be manipulated. The system is unfair but we can’t really do anything about it except pointing it out again and again.

    I find it very weird how their achievements and chart-topping songs are contradicting their standings on live music shows. I’m not bitter about it or anything but I’m just really confused as to how the nominees are being judged. Please enlighten me Daralings.
