The artists--or songs to be exact--who contributed most to SM's distended market share in the fourth quarter were Taeyeon and f(x). In particular, Taeyeon's solo single "I" and f(x)'s "4 Walls," both of which swept the charts, were found to be the songs that helped SM top album sales for the fourth quarter.
