Four-member ballad boy band 2AM dominated cable music channel Mnet's singles chart last week with their newly released first full-length album.
During the week of October 25 to 31, tracks “You Wouldn’t Answer My Calls” and “Like Crazy” from the boys' latest record titled "Sain o'clock" took first and second place, respectively, on Mnet's singles chart.
Another two entrants on the chart, Lee Jung’s “Having to Separate” and SuperstarK 2 contestant Jang Jae-in’s “When I Stand Under the Shade of Roadside Tree,” each took third and fourth place, respectively.
SuperstarK 2 is a reality show which seeks out musical talents in Korea, also the equivalent to “American Idol” in the United States.
Hip-hop singer PSY’s “RIGHT NOW” climbed up a notch on the singles chart to reach fifth place.
Meanwhile, 2AM came first on Mnet's weekly album chart as well, reflecting the favorable response fans have shown of the group's latest release.
PSY’s fifth album “PSYFIVE” and five-member girl group 2NE1’s first album “To Anyone,” which took first and second place on the chart two weeks ago, were pushed a step each to land in second and third place last week.
An interesting trend detected on this week’s chart was the notable rise of albums by contestants from SuperstarK 2. Three albums made it into the top 10, claiming fourth, ninth and 10th place.
