4minute Takes Down G-Dragon

With their first comeback stage performance on Music Bank, 4minute is experiencing an alarming rise in popularity with their song "Muzik", even snagging the #1 spot from G-Dragon on an illegal downloading music chart. According to MusicSave, which is responsible for monitoring illegal music sites, the five-member girl group's title track from their new album constitutes a whopping 20.6% of all illegal music file downloads for the first week of September. This might not seem like much of an accomplishment for the five-member group because the downloads are illegal and provide no monetary benefit for them. However, as we reported earlier, pre-orders on 4minute's mini-album alone hit the 20,000 mark, proving that their explosive album sales are translating into online charts as well. Based on the impressive results of their "fu-fu-fu-fu-funky music" so far, it seems that 4Minute is truly becoming the Hot Issue that Hyun Ah was always whining singing about during their debut.
