Taking Sides: ChoColat vs. Crayon Pop (Mid Year Singles, 2013)

[koganbot]

As you see, Crayon Pop have my top song. But for the long run I'd lay my bets on ChoColat. Crayon Pop have to rely on being insanely catchy every time out, while ChoColat only need reasonably good tunesmanship and dramatic timing and Melanie's passionate wail - all of which ChoColat can rely on.

Yesterday was Way's birthday. It was also, coincidentally, ChoA's birthday. :)

Here's Bar Bar Bar on Sketchbook, with even more fanchants and cheering and applause than usual:

And here's Soyul teaching Japanese fans the fanchants for Dancing Queen:

I'm pleased that, among other things, they're finally doing some of the vocals live. They seem to be fine at it.

In case you didn't see, Crayon Pop got the meh treatment over at the Singles Jukebox. Am still hoping that Sonya will show up in the comments and dissent from the mehness.

This might make your head explode, but Tymee digs Crayon Pop (via omona).

The first week of Bar Bar Bar's release western fans sighed as it landed outside the top 100 on Gaon.

Now it's #18 on instiz real time, #14 on melon and has gone viral in Korea. Dash hinted at it on ilxor but it has risen further.

Yeah, we were tracking it over on the Crayon Pop thread, too. A rollercoaster: was in and then out of the top 100 and now it's back in again.

"Bar Bar Bar" got 23 readers votes at the Singles Jukebox. I've not been following the Jukebox a lot recently, so I don't know if that's rare, but that number sure seems higher than I'm used to seeing there.
