The Gaon Chart has confirmed that T-ara‘s “Roly-Poly” is the most downloaded and streamed song of the year!
According to the number of downloads collected ’til November, “Roly-Poly” beat out Park Myung Sooand G-Dragon‘s “I Cheated” to become the most downloaded digital song of the year.
“Roly-Poly” has had over 4 million downloads, while “I Cheated” has 3.6 million and 2NE1‘s “I Am the Best” had 3.43 million. The song not only dominated in digital downloads, but also in the total score for combined streams and mobile downloads.
“I Cheated” was ahead of “Roly-Poly” until October, but consistent sales over November helped give “Roly-Poly” enough of an edge to land at the top.
A representative of Gaon stated, “Usually, song downloads drop after TV promotions are over, but ‘Roly-Poly’ has met with good results and is still seeing consistent sales, which means it’s become a success in the long run.”
Core Contents Media added, “The retro concept connected with all age groups, which aids in the song’s long-term success. There are still a lot of people searching up ‘Roly-Poly’ five months after its release.”
