It seems that girls have been running the Korean music charts this January. Since girl groups' sexy concept made their comebacks which is being a hot topic, however, the music charts were dominated by powerful female vocalists such as SISTAR’s Hyorin, Ailee, and Brown Eyed Girls‘ Ga In. In Melon’s real-time music chart on January 29, new songs from female artists were placed in 7 of the top 10 spots. Not including Girl’s Day’s “Something,” 6 of the 7 spots had been gotten by female solo artists.

Hyorin was at the top of the chart with her single, “Goodbye” which is the OST for the popular SBS drama “Man From the Stars." Other artists who are in the top 10 include Idina Menzel, Ga In, Ailee, Lyn, and IU.

Meanwhile, American actress/singer Idina Menzel was got second place with “Let It Go,” from the Disney box office hit “Frozen.” “Let It Go” also topped the Billboard chart in the U.S., the first time in 19 years for a Disney soundtrack, and the song has been nominated for best soundtrack for the Academy Awards next year.

The third place was Ga In, with her new song “Fxxk You,” an R&B-type song with a classic guitar sound, featuring hip-hop artist Bumkey. The song is from her third mini album, “Truth or Dare,” to be released on February 6.

Other solo female artists in the top 10 were Ailee in fifth place with “Singing Got Better,” Lyn in eighth with “My Destiny,” and IU in ninth with “Friday.”

Also in the charts were Gummy’s “You’ll Think of Me” in fifteenth, Younha’s “Man From the Stars” in eighteenth, and Jia’s “Have You Ever Cried” in fifty-first, among others.

It's truly girl power dominating the charts in the first month of 2014.
