Check out the infectious music video of Korean female group Girls’ Generation‘s “Genie” (the Japanese version).
The single which they debuted earlier this month in Japan peaked at the #5 spot on the same day of its release on the Oricon Charts (Japan’s most prestigious music chart which our very own Charice conquered a while back) and later rose to the #2 position some time later, earning the group a #4 position on the Oricon weekly ranking. The group also hit the number #1 spots on Japan iTunes’ music video chart and both the Rekochoku daily video clip chart and incoming movie daily ranking chart a day later. With pre-orders amounting to 80,000, the single sold an estimated 45,000 copies in the first week after release, breaking the record for foreign artists debuting in Japan. The single also placed high on Japan’s Billboard chart, ranking #4 on the comprehensive Hot 100 chart, #5 on the Hot Single Sales Chart and #1 on the Hot Top Airplay chart.
