Idol group Big Bang has won the #1 spot on One of Thailand’s best record store chart ‘B2S Top 20′.
Big Bang released their 3rd minialbum on 8th August ‘Stand Up’, even though the album was recorded in Korean, it still proves to be popular in Thailand.
The album was #1 on ‘B2S Top 20′ for the 2nd week of September (8th -14th September), going up to the #1 spot on the international chart just 1 week into its release, rising above some of the famous international artistes like Madonna and Mariah Carey.
Not only this, Big Bang’s ‘GREAT’ concert live album and ‘Always’ minialbum released last year were at 12th and 14th position respectively. Even though ‘Always’ was released in Thailand only last November, it became popular very quickly.
Big Bang’s 3rd minialbum sales have gone over 140,000 copies and 20,000 copies are in the process of preordering. Also the minialbum’s title track ‘Haru Haru’ stands strong on #1 position for the 5th consecutive week on various music charts.
Congratulations!!! ^^
Now the next thing to look forward to is their Japanese album

Is this only for the International charts? How many does it translate in units? Is B2S Thailand’s equivalent to Japan’s Oricon Chart or is it only a record store chart like Tower Record’s chart? Thanks.

Top in Thailand isn’t very hard though….
Thai artists aren’t actually talented and they’ll like anything.
They’re just that kind of people… follow any trend
Ahem I’m not saying BB is untalented ^^;;;
I love them, but getting #1 there isn’t that hard ^^;;
expected from Big Bang, it’s not really a surprise
the album was amazing
congrats!!!
Sharon – did u look down on Thai people by saying “Thai artists aren’t actually talented and they’ll like anything” please think about this again…
thank you
Ummm I’m Thai and living in Thailand now….
Actually, the B2S Chart may not the famous chart or big thing to prove that its #1 is good…..
It’s just a CD store (many branches)…..in Thailand. In the past the famous store is Tower Records,,, or CD Warehouse.
But I could say that Thai people doesn’t buy the CD in the store often (I mean lots of them prefer d/l piracy and mp3 from internet).
So BB won #1 in the legal CD store that’s the good sign that BB Fans in Thailand love them a lot, so they buy the copyright CD!!!!
In other chart like Channel [v] or True music TV or Other Music TV in Thailand, BB rises for Top 5 or Top 10 also….
Congrats BB!!!
