Big Bang won Hanteo’s annual “Singer Award” chart for 2011 from their sales made from January 1st to July 18th!
The ranking for each artist is based on album sales records saved by Hanteo. The ranking counts all of the albums/singles released by each artist throughout their careers, but only counts the sales those albums made in 2011.

On another note, Big Bang can add another notch onto their victory belt, as they’ve secured a #1 on Taiwanese music charts.
The boys’ 4th mini-album, as well as their special edition album, concert DVDs, and behind-the-scenes concert book, have all been big hits in Taiwan, landing solid spots on the G-MUSIC, FIVE MUSIC, KuangNan Record, & BOOKS.COM charts under the ‘K-POP Album & DVD’ category.
Additionally, the title track for their special edition album, “Love Song“, reached the #1 spot on the Taiwanese MTV chart. The five members are currently taking a break after they recently concluded their tour concerts in Japan.
