Billboard has released its latest charts, and Girls’ Generation’s fourth Korean album has ranked highly on multiple charts. “I Got A Boy” debuted at #1 on the “World Albums” chart, #2 on the “Heatseekers Albums” chart (which tracks albums by artists yet to appear on the Top 200 chart), and #23 on the “Independent Albums” chart. The subunit Girls’ Generation – TTS ranked at #1 on the “World Albums” chart earlier in 2012 with “Twinkle”, making Girls’ Generation’s latest release their second number one World Album.
The title track for the album, “I Got A Boy”, also took the top spot on the K-Pop “Hot 100” chart. This gives Girls’ Generation their second number one song since the chart’s inception, with the first being “The Boys”. “Dancing Queen” ranks at #4 on the chart, making it two songs from the album charting in the top five. Additionally, the music video for “I Got A Boy” came in at #2 on the YouTube chart, right behind the chart’s mainstay, PSY’s viral hit, “Gangnam Style”, and ahead of Rihanna’s “Diamonds”. The music video has crushed K-Pop video records on YouTube for its explosive growth.
Girls’ Generation’s bold new style with “I Got A Boy” has been well-received by critics and is now being recognized on the charts. Congratulations to Girls’ Generation on their latest accomplishments.

If SNSD actually surpassed gangnam styles popularity, there would be no surprise there. But I hope for the best so they would reach new heights in their career!
Meh. Surprising? Not at all. Maybe Gangnam Style doesn’t rule completely. Maybe IGAB does. SO NYEO SHI DAE HWAITING!
This is world domination. Ever since Psy, there has been increased attention to K-pop. Now that the girls are back, the world will see who are the ones who reign superium in K-pop. The more consistent chart toppers, history makers of the industry. The power of 9!
so far, SNSD’s strategy went well accordingly. hopefully the good vibe will
continue and stay for awhile. their schedule is crazy as hell so i hope they
will get good rest at the end of the day. :) Chukkahae SNSD~!
More to come~! it is just starting….
feedback regarding the girls album
has been more divided than usual…
as the girls have been bold and brave
with the type of music they are using
to showcase this album…but it is
always good to see that risk being
rewarded! the girls could have played
it safe…but they are always challenging
themselves…reaching for the top…
and they grabbed it…once again!
Hells Bells Yeah!!! Keep on FIGHTING!!! SNSD!!!

I’m very glad for Girls’ Generation because they came out on top of the Billboard World Albums chart and came in at number two on the Heatseekers album chart. And to add to the continuously growing success of the album and single, the album has debuted at number 98 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100. So I must say that it wasn’t bad at all. So, I know now that Girls’ Generation is now taking the whole entire world by storm in such a very huge way. It’s Soshi’s world and we all just live in it.
GIRLS’ GENERATION FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
