PSY's ‘That That' dominates multiple music streaming charts around the world
싸이 '댓댓' 세계 여러 음원 차트 석권


By Dong Sun-hwa

Some people are criticizing singer PSY for "replicating his previous styles" in his new studio album, "PSY 9th," but its lead single, "That That," is still creating a splash on global music charts.
가수 싸이의 새 정규앨범 ‘싸다9(PSY 9th)'가 "기존 스타일을 복제했다"는 비판을 받고 있지만 타이틀곡 ‘댓댓'은 여전히 글로벌 음원차트를 휩쓸고 있다.


Upon the release of "PSY 9th" on April 29, some music critics based in Seoul commented that the album is "a mere imitation of PSY's original styles," adding it lacks decent melodies and creative lyrics.
4월 29일 ‘싸다9'가 발매되자 서울 일부 음악 평론가들은 이 앨범이 "싸이 자신의 검증된 스타일을 답습했다"고 평하며 품격 있는 선율과 독창적인 가사가 부족하다고 덧붙였다.


PSY's ongoing chart success, however, seems to be a testament to the fact that the public still loves his signature catchy sounds and hilarious dance moves. Featuring Suga of K-pop sensation BTS, "That That" is at the top of the real-time charts of Genie and Bugs, the two major music streaming services in Korea, as of Sunday afternoon. On another platform, Melon, the tune has secured the No. 2 spot, after "Still Life" by K-pop act BIGBANG. It has been streamed more than 13 million times on the global streaming platform, Spotify.
그러나 싸이의 지속적인 차트 성공은 대중들이 여전히 그의 시그니처인 중독성 있는 사운드와 우스꽝스러운 춤에 열광한다는 사실을 증명하는 듯하다. 방탄소년단 슈가가 피처링한 ‘댓댓'은 1일 오후 기준 국내 주요 음원 사이트인 지니, 벅스 실시간 차트 1위를 기록 중이다. 또 다른 플랫폼인 멜론에서는 K팝 그룹 빅뱅의 ‘봄여름가을겨울(Still Life)'에 이어 2위를 차지했다. ‘댓댓'은 글로벌 스트리밍 플랫폼 스포티파이에서는 1300만 회 이상 재생됐다.


The music video of "That That" ― which features an appearance by Suga ― has already hit 110 million views on YouTube as of Sunday. The clip reached the milestone of 100 million views on May 6, only seven days after its release.
슈가가 출연한 ‘댓댓' 뮤직비디오는 일요일(8일) 기준 이미 유튜브 조회수 1억 뷰를 돌파했다. 해당 영상은 공개 7일 만에 지난 6일 1억 뷰의 고지를 돌파했다.


The song also nabbed the No. 61 spot on the Official Singles Chart in the U.K., a major music chart in Europe. This is the third time that PSY has made it onto this chart, after his hits, "Gangnam Style" and "Gentleman," ranked first and 10th in 2012 and 2013, respectively. "That That" is projected to retain a position on the Billboard main singles chart this week, too.
이 곡은 유럽 주요 음악 차트인 영국 오피셜 싱글 차트에서도 61위를 차지했다. 싸이는 ‘강남스타일', ‘젠틀맨'으로 각각 2012년 1위, 2013년 10위에 오른 후 이번에 세 번째 차트 기록을 세웠다. ‘댓댓'은 이번 주 빌보드 메인 싱글 차트에서도 자리를 지킬 전망이다.
