Girls’ Generation’s newest release, “Mr.Mr.”, debuted at number 110 on the “Billboard 200” album chart. This the highest ranking Girls’ Generation has ever achieved on the chart, the next highest being Girls’ Generation – TTS’s first album, “Twinkle”, which debuted at 126th.
The individual tracks on the “Mr.Mr.” mini album have also done well on Billboard’s “K-Pop Hot 100” chart this week. “Mr.Mr.” ranks the highest, at fifth place. “Goodbye” sits at 26th, “Wait a Minute” is 43rd, “Back Hug” comes in at 62nd, “Europa” is 64th, and “Soul” finishes at 83rd. Girls’ Generation previously grabbed the top spot on “K-Pop Hot 100” with their 2013 comeback, “I Got a Boy”; their first number one ranking on the chart was with “The Boys” in 2011.
In addition, “Mr.Mr.” came in fourth place on Billboard’s “World Digital Songs” chart. The music video for Girls’ Generation’s latest title track now has over 6.7 million views on YouTube since its release five days ago, on February 28th.
The “Billboard 200“, “Hot K-Pop 100“, and “World Digital Songs” (subscription required) charts will be updated Thursday morning, EST, so keep a lookout for the revealing of Girls’ Generation’s numerous ranking achievements from this week.

waaaa! Congrats Soshi! :D
Congrats Girls..
as expecteddddd
Congrats soshi♥
If this album was in english, it would be top 10. All the songs have an american appeal and leans towards an older audience (20+). Just love the entire album. Daebak!!!
So how can we support our girls in these billboard rankings, Mnet, etc.? Do iTunes downloads count?
For Billboard, just watch their music video.
For Mnet, vote for them on the international poll and on the Korean poll. Also they have live voting during those shows.
For Melon which I believe is the #1 digital music site in Korea, make an account and give them 3 votes a day. http://ninenology.blogspot.com/2014/02/how-to-stream-girls-generation-4th-mini.html?showComment=1393539283839#c252212358987384870
iTunes downloads aren’t counted towards award shows, but it is an easy way for international fans to buy.
International fans can purchase from Sorbida and Mnet which can help on music shows. http://followkhun.com/?p=5016
Also as Soshified has said you can buy their album physically from YesAsia, DVDHeaven, or synnara via Gmarket because those sites can help Girls’ Generation on music shows. Be sure to check out that last link that I left because says exactly how artists win on music shows. On one last note, I wanted to say that I feel really satisfied when buying a physical copy. Have fun supporting SNSD!
Congrats SoShi ~♥
it’s really a good year to start with our legendary girl group…
they also Ranks NO. 1 on Forbes Korea’s ‘2014 Korea Celebrity 40’…they are really unbeatable
..SONE let’s stop SNSD and 2NE1 issue
yeah! im working HARD since february to not let 2NE1 win anything over SNSD. Keep helping brothers and sisters!
that was the greatest achievement. what I want to see is that they will hold concerts in europe and us. they had been there few years ago and they got huge responds from fans. I would love to see them have their own concerts outside asia.
congrats…!!Job Well Done SOSHI & SONES….
This is amazing! To break out of the kpop chart and hit so high in the basic chart is amazing! I am so proud at this moment to be a SONE.
I’m so proud of them, power of 9!
Imagine how much higher they could go if they started to do some real promotions in America and even released some English language songs!
they’ll be unstoppable. it’s too bad SM don’t seem willing to go that way though or maybe they’re insecure of how things will be.
I would love to see a full scale Soshi invasion of Amerca. In SMs defense, you can not tackle the American music scene by dipping your toe in the water. It would have to be an all out blitz, meaning a full length English album, and a full US tour. Doing a handful of shows in Asian capitals and South Korea is nothing like touring in America, where there are 50 states. Not to mention some of the larger states like California and Texas which would require at least a half dozen shows or more. This large type of task would most likely take six months to a year to complete…that is a lot of time to take the girls out of Korea and their other activities and obligations. And truthfully, the girls are making SM a fortune doing exactly what they are doing now. I live in Texas….I do dream of a day when I can get my VIP ticket here in Dallas to see these nine angels. It would be the happiest day of my life.
gawd i’m so proud of our girls achievements. it’s non-stop for them and hope they just keep going and going like the Energizer Bunny. they also got #1 on Gaon Digital and Physical sales and 2 days physical sales for Gaon end of month total is already at 87k+. 2 FREAKING DAYS SALES AND ALREADY THEY’RE ALMOST AT 100,000 SALES MARK. THAT’S THE POWER OF 9 AND THEIR LOYAL SUPPORTERS. i love this family.
thanks for update :)
Congratulation our girls! <3
