SISTAR appear as a new challenger to the charts with their comeback song ‘Shake It’ taking first place on Naver. Fellow new competitors to the Naver chart include AOA and Mamamoo, with their comeback tracks ‘Heart Attack’ and ‘Um Oh Ah Yeh’ holding second and third place respectively. EXO and BIGBANG continue to take the lead on MCountdown and Gaon’s charts with ‘Love Me Right’ and ‘Bang Bang Bang’, and Baek Ahyeon remains as strong competition with ‘Shouldn’t have’ still prevalent among the chart-toppers.
An unknown singer going by the temporary pseudonym of Cleopatra’s rendition of ‘Love… that fool’ has been one of the many hit covers from MBC’s television program ‘Masked Singer’ and has steadily found its place on Naver’s music chart.
