Korean media outlet Sports Chosun has released their ‘2013 Girl Group Ranking‘
after consulting with music industry insiders on who they feel are the hottest
girl groups these days.
Back in February of last
year, a netizen created a ranking of girl groups and
posted it on a community board, attracting much attention from fans. Sports
Chosun has decided to follow up by releasing their own version and updating
that previously revealed ranking, after having received input from sources in the
music industry.
Just like the previous ranking, Girls’ Generation and 2NE1 remained at the top tier, which is called the
‘insurmountable 4D wall (on another level)’. Following behind them is SISTAR, who has
jumped up one level with their winning streak of hit songs in 2012, and is now
on the ‘national’ level, which is where KARA still
remains.
T-ara and Wonder Girls moved down to the third level ‘High
Class’, joining miss A and Brown
Eyed Girls. T-ara was downgraded due to their controversy
involving former member Hwayoung‘s
leave last year, and Wonder Girls received their downgrade with the focusing on
their solo activities following Sun‘s
recent marriage.
Girl’s Day who surprised the nation with their sexy comeback also moved up to the
level of SECRET, After School,
and 4minute on the
4th tier, ‘Mania Level’. A Pink, Rainbow, Dal Shabet remained
at the same level, and were joined by Nine Muses in the 5th tier of ‘rising
popularity’. SPICA, Hello Venus, Ladies’
Code, and AOA,
as rookies, made the cut off at the 6th and final tier or ‘candidates’.
