BIGBANG sweep major domestic music charts with 'BiiiG' as the 'K-pop legends' return

BIGBANG has swept the top of major domestic music charts with their 20th anniversary new song 'BiiiG', once again proving the powerful presence of the 'K-pop legends.'

According to YG Entertainment on the 20th, BIGBANG's new digital single 'BiiiG', released at 6 PM the previous day, took No. 1 on the real-time charts of major domestic music sites including Melon, Genie, Bugs, and VIBE the moment it dropped, and as of 8 AM it is still holding that throne. It is a result that fully reflects the fervent anticipation and trust of music fans who had eagerly awaited a new song after about four years and four months.

In particular, on Melon it set a new record for the most users in the first hour right after release among songs put out in 2026, going straight to No. 1 on the TOP100 chart. Reaching the top in just one hour on that chart, which ranks by combining 24-hour usage and the most recent hour of usage, is exceptional. On top of that, it achieved a so-called 'roof kick,' meaning the highest measured real-time share, nine times, making BIGBANG's formidable strength tangible.

Above all, it holds special meaning in that BIGBANG's standing as an 'ongoing legend,' standing firmly at the very top even on their 20th debut anniversary, has been confirmed once again. A musical spectrum that perfectly digests a new mood each time while keeping their own identity that combines broad mass appeal and original artistry, rapping and vocals that unleash their accumulated inner strength, and the confidence and witty wordplay embedded in the lyrics are drawing a fervent response from music fans.

The festival-mood music video celebrating their 20th debut anniversary is also receiving great love. A truck flying through space, the 'bangbong' light stick, and a set shaped after "Sunset Glow," the title track of their second full album, along with lavish visuals unfolding around vivid colors and elements connected to the team's identity, are said to deliver immersion. Added to this, the members' unrivaled aura that overwhelms the eye at every moment and a partially unveiled performance earned praise, taking No. 1 on YouTube's worldwide trending and rising popular music charts.

Meanwhile, riding the momentum, BIGBANG will embark on their 20th anniversary world tour 'BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR XX : COSMOS' over three days starting in Goyang tomorrow (the 21st). They will carry out a grand journey of 33 shows across 19 cities worldwide, including North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia, and will fill their 20th debut anniversary in spectacular fashion by unfolding a varied range of projects.
