Girls’ Generation won the gold medal for the first ever Pop Olympics on the music news portal, Popdust.
The Pop Olympics had representatives from America, Canada, Great Britain, and Korea compete against each other in a series of polls to see who was the world’s favorite pop star. In the first round starting from July 23rd, where each country elected a representative, Girls’ Generation received a staggering 4,278,684 votes (49.19%), edging out Big Bang, Wonder Girls, and 2NE1 to represent Korea.
Girls’ Generation went up against Taylor Swift from America, Justin Bieber from Canada, and The Wanted from Great Britain in the final competition of the Pop Olympics.
It was a clean sweep for Girls’ Generation, as they won each of the five categories in convincing fashion: Best Music Video for “MR. TAXI” (66%, 19,598 votes), Hottest Artist (66%, 36,154 votes), Best YouTube Moment for their fun talents at the New York fan meeting (76%, 33,437 Votes), Best Fans (65%, 17,413 Votes), and Best Song for “The Boys” (60%, 157,016 Votes). Voting was held from July 30th until August 6th with a new category being added every day. The Wanted was awarded the silver medal, and Taylor Swift was awarded the bronze.
Popdust was founded in February of 2011 by American music industry moguls including the co-founder of XM Satellite Radio, a top editor from “SPIN” and “Blender” magazines and Billboard, and a Senior Sales Executive from “Vanity Fair”, “Jane”, and “Maxim” magazines.
The turnout was huge in favor of Girls’ Generation for the first Pop Olympics, and they definitely made their presence known as the world’s premiere girl group. Check out Girls’ Generation’s Best YouTube Moment below. As Popdust says, “Seohyun is right: always wear your seatbelt.”

Congrats SNSD i love you more and more! fighting. You are so powerful
Congratulationn Snsd .. keep fighting …
I Love the Best Fans award the most.
SNSD jjang! Congratulation. Now to the world. Going Global
So glad to see GG owning the pop stars from the west….as they are so much better than Bieber, Swift, The Wanted ever dream of being. I noticed during the Olympic closing ceromony in London they mentions that the Spice Girls were the best selling girl group of all time. I fully expect our girls to take that crown from them in the future. I have gone back and listened to some of the Spice Girls music, and it really is average at best. No great singers in that group, and certianly no great dancing. My greatest wish is to see the girls reach the pinnacle of worldwide recognition for their unique talents. I have Soshi pictures on the walls of my cubicle at work and people think I’m crazy….can’t wait till they have to eat those words
congrats SNSD!
a global generation indeed!
SONEs are the best!
