4MINUTE takes first place on Mnet M! Countdown with “Crazy”
For the week of February 9th to 15th, the owner of the top spot for Mnet’s weekly music show M! Countdown is none other than popular girl group 4MINUTE!
After taking their first win for “Crazy” on MBC’s Show Champion this week, 4MINUTE shows that they are back on the K-Pop music scene, taking over INFINITE H who had won the winning title on M! Countdown last week.
This week’s broadcast of M! Countdown was cancelled due to the Lunar New Year, but the trophy winner was revealed through M! Countdown’s official Twitter account. Following behind 4MINUTE is Zion.T and Crush’s “Just” and INFINITE H’s “Pretty.”
Although there were claims that “Crazy” was plagiarized, the producer of the other song seemingly disagreed with the accusations.
Another key point which is making “Crazy” viral is the fierce dance choreography, and the girls promise to release a choreography video if their music video hits 6 million views by February 22nd. The view rate on YouTube is currently at 5 million.
In related news, SHINee’s Key and CNBLUE’s Jungshin were revealed to be new MCs for M! Countdown.
