Four-member idol girl band Sistar has topped major online music charts with its latest song, “Shake It.”
The dance number from the band’s album “SHAKE IT,” released on Monday, has taken No.1 spot on Genie, Naver Music, Olleh Music, Monkey 3 and Soribada.
Other songs from the album, including “Bad Man” and “Don’t Be a Baby,” are in the top 10 on some of the websites.
The band was recently referred to as an “indomitable wall” in K-pop.
Lead vocalist Kim Hyo-jeong, 24, (stage name Hyorin), said she wished her band’s songs were a “de facto musical representation of summer,” a media report said Tuesday. The band last year produced summer hits “Loving U” and “Touch My Body.”
Sistar, managed by Starship Entertainment, debuted in 2010 with single album “Push Push,” which has gone viral among K-pop fans.
