Gaon has just released its latest Weekly charts featuring both Big Bang's Blue and Miss A's Touch. With those latest data, a considerable drop in Digital Aggregate (DA) can be observed. 8 months ago, for the same amount of downloads, songs will usually achieve a DA worth 20 millions more.
Nevertheless, the amount of downloads have a remained steady. From collecting them, it is easy to compare and estimate a song success, even when released at the different times.
T-ara's Roly Poly achieved great success last year. Thanks to its impressive longevity, the song managed to rank 1st on the Gaon Yearly charts (which sums up every kind of digital charts from every Korean charts), scoring in the meantime, the highest amount of download to date, before IU's You & I recently broke this record. For those who had questioned T-ara's ability to maintain its streak, a collective data on T-ara latest released songs, Cry Cry, We Were in Love (with Davichi) and Lovey Dovey proves that Roly Poly will not be the only song from T-ara to make history on Korean music charts.
As we are looking into T-ara's latest hits, a few things have to be taken in account :
- All 4 songs are still charting
- Cry Cry has charted for 16 weeks so far, We Were In Love for 10 and Lovey Dovey for 8, therefore, a sub-total is established on the 5th, 8th, 10th and 16th week.
- As the highest number of downloads is achieved the first days then gradually decreases, the number of days a song charted on its first week is affecting the numbers for all following weeks.
- Roly Poly was released during a high peak period were downloads were very important
- Both We Were In Love and Lovey Dovey were released during a low peak period.
- Roly Poly has been promoted on music shows for 10 weeks
- Cry Cry has been promoted on music shows for 8 weeks
- Lovey Dovey has been promoted on music shows for 6 weeks
- We Were In Love has only had 5 performances made on Inkigayo solely
