In K-pop these days, a song would remain on music charts for about a month at the longest and a day at the shortest.
K-pop has been big all-around Asia. However, it is being criticized as a phase.
Meanwhile, 2NE1’s song ‘I Am the Best’ has been getting about 100,000 views per day on Youtube. In Korean music charts, it went up real fast and off the chart fast too but it’s different overseas.
According to Osen, ‘I Am the Best’ reached 30,000,000 views on 28th. 2NE1 had already achieved top 10 most viewed Korean mv internationally with ‘I Am the Best’, ‘Lonely’ and ‘Hate You’.
2NE1 stated, “We tried to show many things through ‘I Am the Best’ mv and that’s probably why so many people watched it. We will make more great music videos in the future.”
Even though 2NE1 hasn’t made an official debut in the U.S, they have been keeping in touch with fans overseas through SNS. It also has helped them to be chosen as U.S. MTV’s 2011 Top 10 World’s Best Female Group.
