Melon: This week’s HOT! | First OST to get #1 on Weekly Chart since ‘I Will Go To You Like The First Snow’

First OST song to get #1 since Ailee’s OST ‘I Will Go To You Like The First Snow’ for the drama ‘Goblin’. If there’s a point to pay attention to, when ‘I Will Go To You Like The First Snow’ ranked #1 the drama Goblin’s viewer rating had already exceeded 15%, and when ‘All About You (or A Poem Titled You)’ ranked #1 the drama ‘Hotel Del Luna’ was still at 7% viewer rating.

 

Of course, being cable, the 7% viewer rating is a significant number but having the OST as #1 too is not a 'certainty'. Due to the nature of an OST, it’s common to look for a song after watching a drama or a movie first, so the popularity of a drama is usually linked to the popularity of the OST. Therefore, it's fair to say that ‘All About You (or A Poem Titled You)'s #1 does have influence from the drama but, the impact from the digital power of Taeyeon's brand cannot be ignored. That’s right. TaengST’s legend hasn’t died. (TaengST = Taeng x OST)

 

One point to note is, other than a piano, there is no other musical instrument in the song. A song with just one instrument means that the 'sound' of the song will be very monotonous. Because of that, if it's not an instrumental, the singer's vocal control over the song must be significant. And, our Trust-Listen-Taeng has that, as expected. (clap clap clap)
