Girls’ Generation continues their worldwide domination by signing with French record label, Polydor France.
Polydor France tweeted earlier today on their official Twitter account that Girls’ Generation has joined their label along with Interscope records. Both labels are subsidiaries of Universal Music Group.
Much like how Interscope is releasing “The Boys” in the US, Polydor France will be releasing Girls’ Generation’s album to the French market. The girls made a huge impact with their performance at SMTOWN LIVE in Paris this past June.
Meanwhile, “The Boys” has been completely dominating the charts in Korea, getting #1 on every real-time chart and taking many spots in the top ten with other songs from the album. The single has also been a success around the world on iTunes, taking the #1 spot in Japan and breaking into the top 100 songs at #67 in the US and #30 on the US iTunes Pop chart. On Youtube, the music videos for “The Boys” have combined for an incredibly fast 5.5 million views at the time of this article, and have been one the most favorited and most liked videos on the website.
Girls’ Generation joins their fellow label-mates in New York City this Sunday October 23rd at Madison Square Garden for SMTOWN LIVE in NEW YORK. Following the concert, Soshified will be holding the first ever fan meeting in the United States with Girls’ Generation on Monday the 24th.

Wonderful just beautiful to read this interesting piece of news. Another label that’s under the same major distributor of Interscope, SM doing something great alright. lol their MV set a record for most viewed for a kpop video in a short time. I contribute to a lot of those views, I refresh and search the video since that’s how the views works. It’s a pity that the English version block or else that would have a lot of views too, but maybe not like how the Korean version was gaining. Also them getting #67 on Itunes U.S is not bad for a kpop idol group. At least they did better on other countries Itunes especially Japan. JSONEs love them so much, they work so hard to buy the song on Itunes to sky rocket the girls to the top <3. Good luck babies and please be healthy and try to rest as much as possible. Love you always! Thanks again SSF for keeping us updated. <3<3
cool !!!what a fantastic news
it will be a very good present for christmas
Proud to be a Sone…
I’m so happy and proud for them! They are really good and they do their best to become better! We are all awaiting for their next successful steps on the stage. Last doing what you are doing!
i honestly never knew our girls would become this big. #67 on itunes? #1 on all those Korean charts? Seriously is there an artist or artist group that’s more popular? SONES ARE DA BEST <3
Daebak! Congratulations to our girls!
Why am I not surprised?
I wonder – are they the first Hallyu group to sign with labels in two non-asian countries?
Not that it matters if they are first or last, I’m just glad that they are successfully dominating! I just hope that the path stays smooth for them and that they don’t fail. We SONEs would not like that!
SNSD Fighting!
They made huge marks on the charts – now let’s keep them there SONEs

Thank god it’s just releasing an album. I don’t want them to go overseas to promote!!!
Nevertheless congrats on their success ^_^
And it’s also currently, after having dropped from most other instant iTunes charts, 19TH(?!?!) in Sweden! 19th?! Sure, one should take into consideration that iTunes doesn’t have as big of a market share in Sweden as elsewhere, making it easier to chart, but that’s still very impressive.
