Big Bang and Super Junior triumph over Britney Spears in 2011

Boy groups Big Bang and Super Junior garnered a lot of international interest in 2011, having beat out international pop icon Britney Spears to achieve their titles as world stars.

First, Big Bang attended the 2011 MTV EMA‘s which were held in Belfast, Northern Ireland back in November.

The boys were nominated under the “World Wide Act Asia Pacific Nominees” category for the EMAs and won, advancing to the “Worldwide Act Nominees” category alongside famous international artists such as Abdelfattah Grini(Africa/India/Middle East), Lena (Europe), Restart (Latin America), and Britney Spears (North America)

Big Bang stunned the world, and themselves, by winning the award. They became the first Korean artist to ever achieve such a title, and Big Bang made their mark in K-pop history.

Britney Spears is a mega pop star, having gifted the world with hit after hit, and over the years has built a phenomenal fan base with her sexy performances and vocal talent. The fact that Big Bang won the award despite being up against the international superstar was especially noteworthy, and proved that they were qualified to be titled ‘world star’s.

The boys of Super Junior have also surpassed Britney Spears.

On December 6th, mashable along with twitter aggregate data analysis website What The Trend released their annual ‘Top 10 Twitter Trends‘ list. The company analyzed over 207,518 hash tags to identify the top trending topics of 2011.

Under the ‘Top 10 Trending Topic’s on Twitter’, popular idol group Super Junior ranked 4th under the artists category and 7th overall, just above Britney Spears and even the devastating Japan earthquake.

Under the artists category, the boys were #4 behind world-famous artists Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and the Jonas Brothers, respectively.

Big Bang and Super Junior are no longer idols only within the boundaries of Korea. They have made themselves known to a growing international audience receiving global applause and praise, and they are drawing high attention as fans are anxious to observe their next big ventures overseas.

Super Junior takes an informal family portrait

Donghae recently updated his Twitter with a sweet group shot of his Super Junior bandmates!

On December 17th, he wrote, “We’re Super Junior! Aren’t your oppas hot?”

Gathered around a sofa, the snapshot looks more like an informal family portrait, with all of the members looking friendly and cozy for the camera.

Fans commented, “Super Junior shines the best when all gathered together,” “I can sense their friendship from this one photo,” and “I hope this lasts forever.”

Super Junior to place 1st in ‘most albums sold’ for 3rd consecutive year

Super Junior is well on their way to becoming the artist with the ‘most sold albums’ for their 3rd consecutive year!

On December 13th, the Gaon Chart announced that Super Junior’s “Mr. Simple” album, which was released back in August, has sold a total of 339,707 copies through November, placing them at the top of this year’s album sales.

Coming in second place is SNSD‘s October release, “The Boys“, which has sold 293,042 copies through November. At this time, there is a 46,665 difference with Super Junior.

With less than a month to go until the year’s end, analysts have determined that because of the big gap, Super Junior is practically guaranteed to take home the crown this year.

The boys have held onto the title for the past two years, with “Bonamana” selling 200,193 copies in 2010, and “Sorry Sorry” winning the ‘Golden Disk Daesang’ in 2009, an award given only to the top album sales of the year.

Many believe that Super Junior’s distinct musical style, which has been labeled as ‘SJ Funky‘ by SM Entertainment music director Yoo Young Jin, is a factor behind their success. This combined with the members’ activities in acting and MCing have created a powerful public presence that launched them to the top each year.

One representative commented, “As the digital market continues to expand, Super Junior managed to show their power by dominating the album sales market for three years in a row. They shed all ideas of mystery and worked hard to get friendly with the public through mediums like variety shows, and that’s one of the key factors to their popularity.”
