Whoever doubted SNSD could sell 100,00 copies of their Korean repackage album Hoot in Japan in less than a month is in trouble trouble trouble now!!

The chart reveals all…

translation from left to right: certification – gold; title – HOOT; artist – SNSD; release date – December 22nd, 2010; label – Universal Music

Congratulations to the girls for another spectacular achievement!! And if you think these results are amazing, just wait until they release their first full Japanese album 😀 In addition to gold the other certifications in the Western Album category include platinum and double platinum. If the success of Hoot is any indication, I foresee RIAJ having to come up with a new certification that goes beyond nine double platinum, just for SNSD. I think ‘Pastel Rose (Quartz)’ might do them justice. What do you guys think?

*Psst…Pastel Rose Pink is the official fan club color ^^

In addition to their Sports Korea win, SNSD nabbed yet another award- the 2nd spot on the prestigious Oricon Weekly Album Chart!

Recently, we reported that “Hoot” ranked #2 on the Oricon Daily Album Chart, with 21,271 copies sold by the day after the album dropped. Also, the Japanese version of “Gee” had reached the 2nd spot as well, but as Oricon stated: “This is SNSD‘s first Top 10 entry on the Album Chart”. On December 28, the Japanese Edition of the 3rd Mini Album “Hoot” sold 61,000 copies in the first week- an impressive feat for a relatively new group.

The Japanese edition of the mini album ‘Hoot’ consists of SNSD’s hits such as ‘Tell Me Your Wish’, ‘Gee’, ‘Run Devil Run’, ‘Oh!’, etc.

WE’RE EXCITED, AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO! So show some love and comment below because I love comments from readers

Show! Show!’, ‘Be Happy’) and  although you might be thinking we have already heard them and the Japan vers. might be redunkulously overpriced, the album exclusively includes a DVD with the girls’ ‘Hoot’ music clip/mv & ‘Premium Show Case Live in Ariake Colosseum 2010.08.25’. The fact that there is an exclusive DVD has many Sones hyped up, especially Japanese Sones.

Fortunately, fans have taken pictures of the promotional displays at Shinjuku Tower record in Shibuya, Tokyo and the album itself for us to see.

SNSD: the Nation’s Group

Korea Gallup confirms SNSD (Girls’ Generation) as “Singer of The Year” and two of their songs, Hoot and Oh!, also ranked as 1st and 2nd “The Most Popular Song in 2010” respectively. This is a huge feat because, as you may already know, Gallup is a professional research company which polls often referenced in the mass media as a reliable and objective measure of public opinion. That’s right, public opinion. The survey involved 3,401 random male and female citizens, aged 13 and above. SNSD ranked as #1 in almost all age group category except for the 60+ citizens.

Talk about domination, they win by a quite large margin too. This survey confirms SNSD’s popularity in general public of  South Korea. No wonder that the girls now earned the name of “the Nation’s Group” (국민가수 [Gukmin Gasoo], which is more like “the Nation’s Singer”) an upgrade from their previous “the Nation’s Girl Group” title.

Here’s the statistics for the Popular Song ranking: Continue reading →
