#BIGBANG sets new records on MelOn, becoming the first artist to top the chart for two consecutive weeks in three different decades

On April 5 at 0:00 KST, the K-pop legendary boy group BIGBANG released their long-awaited comeback single "Still Life," immediately topping both domestic and international charts. On MelOn, South Korea's largest music subscription service, the song recorded this year's highest unique listeners in the first 24 hours (909,666) and became the fastest song to surpass 10 million streams (2 days) in 2022. 

With their new song, BIGBANG has also extended their lead as the group with most weeks (47) at number one and most number one songs (15) in MelOn Weekly Chart history.

The release of "Still Life" has earned the group yet another impressive record: becoming the first artist to have at least one song spend two weeks on the MelOn Weekly Chart in three different decades! 


BIGBANG debuted in 2006, with their first chart-topper coming in 2007 in the form of "Lies" (6 weeks at #1) - the song that catapulted them into stardom and won Song of the Year at the 2007 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Following "Lies", fourteen other BIGBANG songs have taken the top spot on MelOn, with "Still Life" being the most recent. The release is still going strong, continuing to dominate on all domestic charts and reaching #1 on BILLBOARD Korea KPOP 100. 

Congratulations to BIGBANG for three record-breaking decades!

Can't expect anything less from BIGBANG. Even with no promotions and just a single, they're continuously breaking multiple records and placing first place. No matter how many times haters want to say something, the fact that they are still loved till this day by the general public after everything they've been through and after over 15 years speaks volumes. Say what you want but their legacy and longevity is inspiring.
