[OSEN=박현민 기자] Group BIGBANG’s “FXXK IT” is still staying in No.1 on charts. If such record continues until the end of this December, BIGBANG will be the conqueror of music charts of December.

As of December 27 at 7AM, BIGBANG’s “FXXK IT” is staying in No.1 on the charts of two music-streaming websites in Korea: Korea’s biggest Melon and Soribada.

Other than those two charts, the song is also taking top ranks on charts including: in the 3^rd place on Genie; 5^th on Mnet; 6^th on NAVER Music; 5^th on Monkey 3; and 9^th on Olleh Music. “LAST DANCE”, the other title track of BIGBANG’s new album, is also staying in top ranks on charts. 

That is an impressive record when considering it has been already 15 days since the album’s release on December 13. These days, songs are taken down from No.1 on charts within one or two days since their release. Experts say that BIGBANG’s remarkable record on charts is possible because they are BIGBANG.

In the meantime, BIGBANG drew keen attention for their unique and perfect performances presented in SBS “GAYO-DAEJEON” held on December 26. On January 7 and 8, 2017, BIGBANG will hold “BIGBANG10 THE CONCERT : 0.TO.10 FINAL IN SEOUL” at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.
