1. (+3) SNSD - Oh! *** 1 WEEK NO. 1 ***
Score: 960 (+135)
Genre: Pop / Dance
Music: Kenzie / Lyrics: Kim Jung Bae, Kim Young Hoo
Album: SNSD Vol. 2 Track 1
Watch: MV Live Performance
Comment: To no surprise, SNSD's "Oh!" climbed two more spots to No. 1, as it has been on almost every major chart in Korea. However, the margin is much smaller than expected as SNSD just edged out 2AM by six points. After a very successful 2009 seeing them become one of k-pop's premier girl groups, SNSD is back with their 2nd full length album "Oh!". The title track, which is the same as the album title, is composed by Kenzie. It is of the electronic pop genre and is about confessing to a crush in a cute and honest way.
2. (+1) 2AM - 죽어도 못 보내 (Can't Send You Even If I Die)
Score: 954 (+101)
Genre: Pop Ballad
Music + Lyrics: Bang Shi Hyuk
Album: 2AM mini-album "Can't Send You Even If I Die" Track 2
Watch: MV Live Performance
Comment: If it is not due to such a strong opponent in SNSD, 2AM would have scored their first No. 1 song on our chart. Instead, they stay at No. 2 with "Can't Send You Even If I Die", a song produced by hitmaker "Hitman" Bang Shi Hyuk. Through their new mini-album, 2AM will be able to show hybrid genres with trendy sounds and danceable beats, a 200% upgrade from their last. To fit the global trends in music, electronica sounds can also be heard. We are able to see that 2AM are also capable of dance numbers. The title track which is the same as the mini-album title, is still the vintage power ballad we are known of 2AM.

Together the girls are to showcase powerful harmony. “Wonder Woman,” like “Women Generation,” is a bokgo dance number with a catchy and slight trot melody.
