While Girls' Generation no longer dominates the Korean pop scene, the nine photogenic women continue to be a massive draw in Japan.
The group's greatest hits collection, simply named "The Best,'' rose to No. 1 on Japan's Oricon weekly album chart following its release last Wednesday. It is the third Girls' Generation album to top the Oricon chart, following "Girls' Generation" (2011) and "Love & Peace" (2013).
"The Best" includes some of the group's biggest hits including "Genie," "Gee" and "Mr. Taxi." Girls' Generation ― Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona and Seohyun ― has been one of the biggest acts in K-pop since debuting in 2007.
