SNSD and Super Junior #1 on the New GaOn Charts
The GaOn Charts, Korea’s first official music charts, was recently launched to allow both fans and artists to enhance their experience with K-pop music and to further spread it worldwide.
The GaOn Charts are a Korean version of well known United States’ Billboard Charts & the Japan’s Oricon,which are a few decades old.
The name “GaOn”,which means “middle” in Korean,was chosen as it represent both fairness and reliability. Although it is laying far back from its counterparts,in terms of both achievement and popularity,it is believed that it will work well.
It was stated that GaOn Charts are still under development and need to be polished even further to catch up with both Billboard Charts and Oricon. At the moment,GaOn Charts are only available in Korean language and thus still far away from getting acknowledge worldwide.
What makes the GaOn Charts stand out from the other two is that it categorizes based on online and offline sales,rather than on music genres.

In celebration of the Gaon Chart’s launch, So Nyuh Shi Dae and Super Junior were invited to the event and were awarded #1 for both the digital and album category in 2009,with their respective hit singles,”Gee” and “Sorry Sorry“.
On the other hand, Brown Eyed Girls‘ GaIn and 2AM’s JoKwon’s duet song ‘We Fell In Love‘ grabbed the #1 spot of both the ringer tone and streaming awards for the first two weeks of 2010. Despite receiving the honor, JoKwon was unable to attend the event as he has to film for SBS Family Outing 2.
