G-Dragon's That XX #1 on real-time charts + hits 1 million views on Youtube

Posted by on September 1, 2012

Only one hour after G-Dragon's newest song "That XX" was released on September 1, it already ranked 1st on major music sites' real-time charts and achieved an "all-kill". (See screencaps here.) As of 12 noon today in Korea, it's still on top:

According to Enewsworld, a representative from YG Entertainment said, “G-Dragon is the first singer to have a song that willingly got an R rating top the charts in an all-kill. Though this phenomenon we can see that, contrary to beliefs that G-Dragon or Big Bang’s fans will mostly be in their teens, there are actually a great number of fans in their 20s and 30s.”

In addition to topping domestic real-time charts, the music video for the song now has more than 1 million views on Youtube, only 12 hours after its release:



Extra info: On YG Music's website, they placed That XX under "G-Dragon 1st Mini Album". However, no announcement has been made yet regarding the release date of the other songs from the EP.

    ...the power of VIP's. FIGHTING!

    SO PROUD! GD is making quite the killing! Plus apparently this is the very first time a "19+" song has ever rated on the rankings board and the first time a "19+" song has ever hit the MELON roof...WOW! So many firsts for GD! You go boy!!!!

    • Kim

      Was there ever any doubt he's an inovator and hit maker... the power of VIP doesn't hurt either (((d-_-b)))

      • http://www.bigbangupdates.com/ VIP4Daesung

        LOL! Of course not...Just all the records that he set and everything is impressive for anyone :) and I am proud to say it's GD that made/set them! :D

    • freebody

      I'm really confused, but which part of the song is 19+??

      • totoroed

        The part where it was "beeped" was the swear word. So because of this new stupid South Korean pre-screening MV rating policy; YG volunteered to put the beeps in, so everyone can watch the video, rather than limiting its audience to only adults...

        All because of some swear words ... -.-

  • PANDA_EYES

    The King is back. We've been waiting for you, your Majesty...

    Dayum! Mah man GD is doin his thang! GD-oppa fighting!!!

  • YL

    I wonder... which word is the XX replacing... ive been trying to fill in the blank in my head :[

    • http://twitter.com/Cindeehhh Cindy Mejia

      Apparently its bastard or son of a B****

    • jj

      It's gangajiseki or bastard/motherf****r/son of a b***h. The uncensored version is uploaded on Youtube, just search it.

      • YL

        thanks!!

  • superfilthy

    So proud <3

  • nogardg

    im so happy for him.and yes the new songs rock...

  • NESTOP

    RETURN OF THE KING!

  • Miss Dea

    Yeah!!! Congrates ;)

  • Kimmy

    I wonder if he's going to perform this song or another song coming up and how is he going to perform this on the music stations because of the bleeping. I would really love to see him perform One of a Kind too though. I'm very curious. I hope he comes out with more songs soon! please please. I'm really proud of him.

    • jj

      He probably won't perform it. According to some people, it's not even his title song.

      • Kimmy

        Really?! omg that makes me so excited because it means we get more songs from him!! haha thanks for the info!!

      • dream2000star

        F---!!! Songs that would be title songs for other artists are just GD stretching his legs. Can't wait!!! But, I would love to hear him perform this live with Sungha Jung on You & I! :)

        • 3inthemorning

          I know! It's ridiculous. And One of a Kind isn't even really being sold? But other artist would kill to have it!
          Ahh... The power of GD :D

  • http://twitter.com/emayeney Misa

    YAAAAAAAAAAAY! This is amazing! That XX is so melancholic and beautiful and I'm so happy that so much people like it or love it as much as I do. GD is such a great person he deserves everything and more.

    • subdee

      At first I thought more obsessive than melancholic, but if you watch the video, the "twist" is that the XX of the title... is GD. Sadly the girl is in love with the bastard GD, with the tattooed left hand, who's just a player and doesn't care about her, and not the sad GD in the bathtub who loves her. :(

      Since I started typing out this comment, I'll also mention that I suspect someone involved with this video is a Pete Doherty fan. The clues are the handwriting tattoo on GD's neck and the close-up of the "spirit of ecstasy" (the hood ornament on Rolls Royce cars).

      EDIT: Actually probably a Hedi Slimane fan more than a Pete Doherty fan. Sorry, this comment doesn't make a lot of sense haha.

  • Alvina

    GD Is doing really good. I am so proud of him, I hope to see him perform on music programmes, but also please get enough rest jiyonggie :)

    I'm loving the song! It's great that he's showing off the talents of YG by placing Taeyang, Lydia, Choice, and Jennie Kim in his music videos.
