2NE1's I AM THE BEST hits #1 on Billboard's World Digital Songs chart


Source: OSEN via Naver

1. [+888, -183]  Heol, that's amazing.  But the song is very good indeed.  I AM THE BEST is truly a song that can only be pulled off by 2NE1.

2. [+806, -184]  I don't know about anything else but all of 2NE1's songs are great. 

3. [+634, -152]  This song's music video is awesome too.

4. [+665, -263]  Park Bom's controversy has gone that far off...

5. [+436, -127]  I'm a student studying abroad here in the US and I AM THE BEST is being used as the background music for the Microsoft commercial.

6. [+120, -31]  If you look at it this way, I AM THE BEST was released in 2011, isn't it truly amazing that it reached #1?  That just means that the song doesn't get old and still sounds fresh even if you listen to it now. 

7. [+122, -33]  I wonder if they'll come out with a song like FIRE again~~~ You got the fire~!

8. [+141, -53]  I wonder how YG is planning on handling Park Bom...

9. [+92, -10]  I live in the US and I was so surprised when I heard I AM THE BEST being used for the commercial ㅋㅋㅋㅋ  They must be really famous.

10. [+97, -19]  I believe that 2NE1 still has a lot to show us

11. [+80, -8]  SNSD just went and came back without getting much reaction.  It's got to be at this level (like 2NE1's) to be considered a "success". 

12. [+84, -14]  Even when it first came out, it was in the spotlight for its success overseas.  A three-year old song in our language being used for a Microsoft advertisement in the US is honestly incredible.  The song sold well too so why are some people trying to hate on this piece of news.  

13. [+79, -11]  If only Park Bom's controversy didn't happen....  2NE1's songs starting from their ballads are all so amazing...  Sigh, I hope Park Bom's issue gets resolved soon.

Seriously would have been a perfect year... I hope YG can just finally clear it up.... and 2NE1 can finish off strong.

Bom's drug scandal was overblown seriously...If some people aren't satisfied with the explanation then that's their problem.

Waiting for their comeback<3

So many heart-warming comments. Truly though, what an achievement for 2NE1 to have charted at #1, 3 years after IATB was released, AND have their highest sales week now! On top of it, the only kpop act other than PSY to hit #1 on the World Digital Songs Chart. I can go on and on about their achievements but then this post would never end. 2NE1 doesn't even need to do anything, their music is speaking for them. That is artistry, my friends. I'm so proud of 2NE1.

Sadly is full of BJ's when will netizenbuzz update it

Haha said...

Honestly YG should just cleanly clear up every scandal that he threw under the rug this year. Seungri, bom, gd, etc. Apology or explanation or whatever to just end it instead of leaving fans on a cliffhanger

macy_12 said...

YG has cleared it up. it's just it didnt tell people they were right, so in their eyes YG never cleared it up when they have. Dispatch even covered it too.
People will only want to see what they want to. people will also want to be right & YG didnt give them that.

gzbitch said...

We all need a song like IATB again.

Bella said...

Yeah,it's like they're giving something for haters to talk about..😤

YukiJames said...

Um no -_- Its the original article with top comments, NB is the biased one. She intentionally picks negative comments and even admits to that.

YukiJames said...

People thought it was an ongoing case, but it's not... YG only buried the articles not the actual scandal. People were mad that no articles came out, I'm just like does it even matter anymore...? It's because 2ne1 never had any dirt on them so people took it way to far when they finally got a scandal. If you look at the facts it's not a serious issue. YG haters are using it as an excuse to get their jabs in w/o being called haters. Same with Seungri's case. Nothingg fishy happened in the accident yet ppl are accusing YG of something shady. He went to the hospital in seriously bad condition yet you have people laughing at his pain or not believing him. Thats just cruel..

I absolutely love how IATB refuses to die lmao. #ICONIC

1. [+888, -183] Heol, that's amazing. But the song is very good indeed. I AM THE BEST is truly a song that can only be pulled off by 2NE1.

What makes IATB (and other 2NE1's songs tbh) is that it's really difficult to replicate or even take an inspiration from. Most Korean girl groups can always borrow "cute", "sexy" and "weird" concepts and maybe make it their own, but to take a even half a page from 2NE1's songs and successfully attune it to their group's musical identity is a feat in itself. I really can't see anyone else doing a song directly inspired by 2NE1 and be able to pull it off. Maybe that's one of the reason why idol productions can't cover IATB and Fire without complete changing its structure lol.

2. [+806, -184] I don't know about anything else but all of 2NE1's songs are great.

YAS SIS. Preach.

This so much. You know come to think of it I feel that IATB was way ahead of its time when it was released. I mean, I even hated it the first time it came out lol. Now it's in my top 5 of my favorite 2NE1 songs.

Ofc sis, but knowing YG himself he'd probably kill whatever kind of success the group has with fire. Sad actually.

commedesfuckdown said...

I saw Girls' Day cover of IATB. They covered Gee, Nobody, and Mr which were fine and then IATB started - I was like, yeah its indeed only for 2ne1 lol

guest said...

NB is SM biased

sansa180194 said...

Saw that one too, lmao. They looked cute at attempting to re-create it though, and mad props for them because they're probably the only new gen girl group (so far) that paid homage to it. I actually started really liking them after that lol.

Yes. I hope they comeback even stronger than before. Bom, please stay strong<3

Lala said...

Girl take the positive comments why do you want the negatives from NB. That site is bias.

koriko said...

I agree.

koriko said...

MY QUEENS!!! IF only YG would give 2NE1 the same treatment as he would BIGBANG.

Riyadh Prawiryo Att said...

Seriously if park bom's scandal didn't happen, 2ne1 really slay in this year

Riyadh Prawiryo Att said...

Me too XD, i start like them

Wenday said...

I'm hoping they'll preform at year end shows and make another comeback soon. I miss them.

nothingonyou123 said...

Wow!!! Been ages since we last saw positive comments for our ladies... Please keep showering love...

Nova_REMIX said...

Can they let go of Park Bom's scandal? Literally let it go.

Nova_REMIX said...

I love GsD. Behind 2NE1, they are a favorite of mine, but even as I watched that cover, I was like "Yeah, this isn't a song just ANY group can do. This is ONLY 2NE1's."

sansa180194 said...

true. objectively they failed on that one lol, and I was expecting myself to get pissed by it...but instead I found myself liking them.

it's totally off topic but if ever sk decides on hailing a new national girl group i'd want gsd to get it tbh.

Nova_REMIX said...

I'm betting on GsD more than A-Pink or AOA. GsD is more flexible. They can pull off the sexy genre and cute genre much like SNSD can. They can be extremely feminine. My bets are on them too. Of course the problem with newer groups is that they cannot make iconic songs like "IATB." And that's why other groups like 2NE1 for example will stay steps ahead of them.

Only Look At Me said...

Tbh, I really like this live performance of 2NE1. Lonely+IATB in MAMA 2011. Even when I only think about it, I get goosebumps and when I actually watch it, double the goosebumps!


My most unforgettable PERFORMANCE from them.
