Numbers Day Continues
T-ara's "Sexy Love" holds its chart place with its points falling in its second week from 25,414,429 to 23,801,053. That's not a severe drop, given the Gaon List's habit of going from blockbuster to bust rather quickly. E.g., G-Dragon's "그XX," on its week three, falls a whole hunk, from 42,048,638 to 24,038,977. (Above them both we've got soundtrack and talent-show hell.) But "Sexy Love" is far better than "그XX"! (I wish GD had risked exciting his audience with "One Of A Kind.") To put this in ambiguous perspective, Orange Caramel's "Lipstick" has opened with a disappointingly low 20,232,928;* but last July, T-ara's "Day By Day" was up at 39,140,539 for its week two. I was hoping that we'd actually see a rise for "Sexy Love" as people decided, "Hey, it sounds really good, so maybe we don't have to act as if we'll catch cooties from it."
On the albums chart, T-ara's Mirage opens at number 2, one behind F.T. Island and one ahead of Orange Caramel. I presume this is all fan action for Mirage, which is just the previously released Day By Day repackaged with two added tracks, each downloadable for a pittance individually (I presume).
Meanwhile, E.via is up to 100 (rising to 2,760,258 points) in week two of her "Gangnam Style" takeoff, "I Know How To Play A Little." Fwiw, I prefer it to both "Gangnam Style" and "Oppa You're Just My Style."
(The fan vid seems to be what the record company is using to promote it.)
*Disappointing 'cause I like the song and seem unable to grow tired of the "No Speak Americano" beat.
