K-Indie on Gaon’s Digital Chart, 2012.03.18~2012.03.24

The latest total Korean digital chart from Gaon was presented a couple of days ago, and unlike the week before there are quite a few new entries coming from the realm of Korean indie music.

Busker Busker, runner up on Superstar K3, have just released an album that we’ll be writing more about later this weekend and came out strong with it’s title track. Save for the title track off SHINee‘s latest mini album that made it all the way to the top, Busker Busker actually outdid all other SHINee tracks.

The rest of the new entries we’ve already covered here on the Korean Indie news blog over the past couple of weeks, so check out the tags of this post if you’d like to know more about them.

56. 10cm – “애상” (-12)

K-Indie on Gaon’s Digital Chart, 2012.03.11~2012.03.17

Although last week offered at least a couple of convincing releases there is no sight of any new indie entries on the latest total Korean digital chart from Gaon. Even Shut Up! Flower Boy Band song “Love U Like U” that made it onto last weeks Billboard K-Pop chart is out of sight. What’s worse is half the songs from last week are out. Here’s hoping things’ll look if only a little better next week.

27. L & Yerim – “Love U Like U” (new)
44. 10cm – “애상” (-12)
55. Skull – “쓰레기” (feat. Oksang Dalbit) (-5)
118. Two Months – “The Romantic” (-34)
136. Noblesse & Acoustic Collabo – “Love Diary” (-53)
184. 10cm – “안아줘요” (-47)
188. Verbal Jint – “좋아보여” (feat. The Black Skirts) (-19)

Update 2012-03-31: Turns out that L & Yerim did make it last week. Must’ve mistyped when searching the page. Sorry!

K-indie on Gaon’s Digital Chart, 2012.03.04~2012.03.10

The Gaon charts covering last week are out and for the Korean digital chart we again find Big Bang holding up the top spots. Looking to the indie related entries we find three songs out and three new songs in, but also 10cm‘s “안아줘요” climbing back into the top 200 at a rate earning it a ‘hot’ mark rather than letting us see exactly how many positions it has gained since last time.

32. 10cm – “애상” (-)
50. Skull – “쓰레기” (feat. Oksang Dalbit) (new)
83. Noblesse & Acoustic Collabo – “Love Diary” (-16)
84. Two Months – “The Romantic” (-15)
129. Annyeongbada – “악마” (-53)
131. Standing Eggs – “둘이 아닌가 봐” (with Christina Love Lee) (-57)
134. Goonamguayeoridingstella – “서울사람” (new)
137. 10cm – “안아줘요” (re)
156. Taru – “봄이 왔다” (-45)
169. Verbal Jint – “좋아보여” (feat. The Black Skirts) (-20)
181. Park Jiyoon – “나무가 되는 꿈” (-50)
184. Peterpan Complex – “첫사랑” (new)

Although Peterpan Complex have been promoting their fifth full-length album with a music video for “감정을 삼키고”, it is their second main track of the album that has made it to the chart.

Those looking to learn a bit more on Skull will want to read this recent interview from CJ E&M enewsWorld: [Interview] Skull: Korea′s Lone Reggae Musician. The interview itself does not touch specifically on the collaboration with Oksang Dalbit, but it provides some insight into reggae in Korea.

The Goonamguayeoridingstella track is the opening track off the Seoul Seoul Seoul 2CD compilation. Brief samples of all songs on the album can be found on Round & Round’s SoundCloud.
