Sending Out An SNS : Jay Park Storms Up International Music Charts

(SEOUL KR) : Any lingering question marks about whether this b-boy/rapper and former boyband leader could reinvent himself as a singer/songwriter turned producer/composer have now been answered with thunderous exclamation points across the board and around the world. 

As soon as he dropped his stunning solo mini-album <Take a Deeper Look> on April 27th, K-Pop’s urban dance idol, Jay Park, not only achieved the all kill by having all his tracks takeover the top of every major Korean music chart but also scored the all thrill by cracking the top 5 on Asia-Pacific, North American, and European iTunes R&B/Soul album charts. 


Within the first week of release, <Take a Deeper Look> has emerged as one of the most successful international debuts ever for a K-Pop act by peaking on the iTunes R&B/Soul album chart at : #1 Canada, #1 Denmark, #2 USA , #2 Australia, #3 Norway, #4 Japan, #5 Italy, #5 France.

In addition to his impressive iTunes tally, Jay Park has also stockpiled a staggering number of SNS (Social Networking Sites) votes and views that have boosted his status as one of the hottest emerging pop stars on the internet.


In celebration of online music, MTV Networks launched their inaugural O Music Awards show on April 28th (Las Vegas, Nevada) and Jay Park was selected as the first Asian artist ever nominated for this important digital media event. In the category of ‘Must Follow Artist on Twitter’ and competing with the likes of global music icons such as 50 Cent, Kayne West, and Adam Lambert, he eventually lost in the voting to the biggest winner of the evening, Lady Gaga.

However, while missing out on a Twitter trophy, he was all in for the win on YouTube. 


Powered by a recently revamped and relaunched YouTube channel, he has lived up to his hype as the 2010 Mashable Awards winner for ‘Best Web Video’ artist by surging to #1 on YouTube’s worldwide daily rankings for Most Viewed Musician Channel, Most Viewed Music Channel, and Most Viewed Music Video (April 28th). Spurred by his smash hit single ‘Abandoned’ amassing nearly 1 million views in just 100 hours, he has also clinched #1 on YouTube’s worldwide weekly rankings for Most Subscribed Channel (May 1st).



With <Take a Deeper Look>, the whole world is now taking a deeper look at K-Pop’s newest SNS superstar, Jay Park.

UPDATE : Jay Park's <Take a Deeper Look> debuts at #3 on U.S. Billboard World Album Chart
