In Gallup Korea’s annual year-end poll ranking the artists who made this past year shine, Girls’ Generation took fifth place overall with 8.3% of the vote. Cho Yongpil received the top honor with 17.6%, PSY placed second with 11.7%, Jang Yunjeong came in third with 8.8%, and EXO was ranked at fourth with 8.4%. There were 4,263 voters in total and all were at least 13 years old.
Last year, Girls’ Generation was ranked second in the Gallup Korea poll, and from 2009 to 2011, the girls held the top spot. With the release of “I Got A Boy”, both a Japan and world tour, a number of Japanese releases, and many more individual activities this past year, Girls’ Generation continued to be a leader of the Hallyu wave worldwide. Meanwhile, on December 22nd, Girls’ Generation held its “Märchen Fantasy” concert where a teaser of Girls’ Generation’s next comeback concept in 2014 was revealed, causing excitement among fans and the public alike.

Congratulations
They’re the highest out of all the girl groups, so brilliant job SoNyuh! SNSD Hwaiting!!
Pleasantly surprised and proud of them! Congrats to little brother group EXO too! :)
I don’t think they really did enough this year in order to rank higher. But it’s good they did enough to get top 5. They need to step up their game to get back to number one tho! It’s sad they ever left number one in the first place.
Awesome!!!!
Great ~♥
yo i’m so proud of these 9 babes. they are so freaking awesome. hwaiting Soshi! hwaiting Sones!
they’ve been dominating since ’09 after Gee went viral in their hometown and up to now they’re still on TOP, even though there are many other new acts coming out. girls still holding their own and just keep on going like the Energizer Bunny. 2013 was an awesome and successful year for them and 2014 is also going to be another awesome and successful one. i can’t wait for that new concept to officially drop and blow our minds out of this world. i’m waiting babies, i always will because i’m devoted to you and you only.
thanks for update SSF :D
Wow! Really proud of the girls! they’ve been in the Top 5 spot for some time now, and with that i’m proud to say that they’ve been consistent through the years~~~ daebak soshi!!
