IU - A Pink - Akdong Musician - ‘Pure’ Is The Selling Point For April

January was sexy (Girl's Day's "Something"), February was moving (Idina Menzel's "Let It Go"), March was sweet (Soyou and Junggigo's "Some"), and April has "pure" songs that are occupying music charts.

As of the morning of the 23rd, MelOn's real time charts ranked HIGH4 and IU's "Not Spring, Love, Or Cherry Blossoms" number 1. This song was released on the 8th, and despite the fact that the song is sung by a rookie group, it's been ranking top for 2 weeks now. It's a song that makes good use of the spring weather. Coupled with IU's lush vocals, this rookie group creates a great synergy. HIGH4 received good ratings even starting with their debut song.

In 2nd is Akdong Musician's debut song "200%." The duo released their debut album Play on the 7th, which is sweeping charts even 2 weeks later today. Although music programs have been cancelled due to the Sewol ferry accident, Akdong Musician ranked number 1 as the hottest song right now. The song is perfect for the spring season, and accurately expresses Akdong Musician's pure and youthful emotions. The talented singer songwriter and Akdong Musician member Lee Chan Hyuk wrote all the songs on their album, and showed off his talent and skills as a musician. It's apparent that this song is indicative of how their future activities will pan out.

In 3rd is the innocent A Pink's new song "Mr.Chu." The girl groups released their new song on March 31st, and even 23 days later it's ruling the music charts for the long run. After their debut for four years the group emphasized their innocence and purity. Now they're walking the road of the pure concept. In the first week of their comeback they took home the number 1 trophy on 5 different music ranking programs. Their popularity can be well attributed to being different from other sexy girl groups. One music rep stated, "Sexy girl groups poured out in January and February and came out with similar sexy concepts that can get tiring. But A Pink used the idea of purity and brightness for their music, which is appealing to the listeners." Also, because the music industry came to an all stop after the Sewol ferry tragedy on the 16th, there have been no new songs. One music official stated, "Since it looks like there won't be any new songs for the month of April, these songs will most likely continue to receive lover over the next week or two."
