BoA takes all kill on digital charts, placing at number one with the title song "ONLY ONE" just 12 hours after the digital release of her 7th Korean album. Fans everywhere are abuzz with news of BoA's return to the music scene with not only 6 new songs, but also a lyrical dance music video to be envious of.

BoA surpassed Psy's "Gangnam Style" on various charts such as Naver and Daum, but stayed in 2nd place on the music charts Melon, Olleh, and Melon for quite some time. Psy's comeback track put up a good fight for a while, but at around midnight, Korean standard time, it was reported that BoA was currently number one on all the digital charts.

Three more of BoA's songs placed in the top 10 chart on Bugs real-time charts!

The album will be available on itunes very soon and you can pre-order your physical copy today at various kpop oriented websites, like Yesasia. There are four different "packages" you can order, the "normal edition" which just encases the album, a "normal edition" with a poster, a "limited edition" with a 48 page photobook, or you could just get everything, the "limited edition" CD, photobook, and poster all in one!

Make sure to support BoA by buying her album, digitally or physically, or maybe even both!

BoA will be making her live comeback on "Inkigayo" on the 29th of July.

If you have been fortunate enough to listen to the album, tell us what your favorite song is and why on our forums!

So according to my context clues in place of my lack of Korean knowledge, Psy is beating her out in Instiz and Jonghyun's OST song is beating her out on Daum. Although I bet in a few hours she'll beat them out too and go for an all-kill.

OMGeee go BoA beating Psy and 2NE1! Heh the Queen is sure taking her rightful throne!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Why didn't I see this before. So SM has learned their lesson with HV XD. This is why they released digitally first. So people have no choice but to buy it digitally! Good idea SM Focus on the main selling point.

I really like the song, but it feels kinda of repetitive; for this, I think it would have been better if they didn't release the teaser since it was only a few days away anyway ...fans were waiting for her comeback for a long time and we all had the teaser on repeat for those few days and then when the song comes out, it's pretty much always the same thing xD

However, I do like the song and the choreography is very NappyTabs xD I like her hair and clothes, it reminds me of Milky Way era =P

I'm still waiting to see which version of the album I'm going to buy because the pictures haven't really been released yet ...

Congrats BoA!!! *clap* BoA beating PSY and BEASTS. Woohoo!

[2boamystar]

She has beaten the two artist who usually do well on digital charts. SO PROUD OF BoA!!!

OMG!! THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW EXCITED I AM The whole CD is just plain amazing I love every single song on it. I've been listening to her for the past 9 years and to see her beat 2NE1 is (i'm sorry for the word, but..) ORGASMIC. She deserves it soo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BOA!!!

I'm torn, because I support BoA...yet PSY's new song is absolutely fantastic! It looks as if "The Shadow" will have a music video, and I'm glad because it's easily the best song on the album. I'd have to hear PSY's whole album, to judge it fairly in comparison with "Only One".

I love "The Shadow" because it sounds a lot like the kind of pop music that tends to come out of Sweden (and I love Europop!). Britney Spears' first few albums had that sound, because she had a Swedish producer. If BoA does another English album, "The Shadow" absolutely should be on it.

BoA's new Korean album is the kind of thing you listen to at home, when you're in an introspective mood. PSY's single is what you put on your mp3 player to get pumped! So it's kind of like comparing apples and oranges. I'm glad they're both having chart success.
