Girls’ ‘Boy’ in Top 10 of Everything
Published: 05 Dec. 2013, 20:51
Girls’ Generation is getting the world’s attention as Time magazine has chosen one of its songs for its Top 10 of Everything 2013 list.
One of the group’s songs, “I Got a Boy,” is No. 5 on the list.
“The nine-woman South Korean group Girls’ Generation is a ridiculously effective hook machine, and a major phenomenon in Asia, whose biggest pop acts make One Direction and Katy Perry sound like an audience-alienating avant-gardist,” the magazine said.
“If you like songs that do everything at once, go straight to YouTube and call up the over-the-top video for this monomaniacally charming hybrid of bubblegum, dubstep and hard rock, whose Korean lyrics are sprinkled with incongruous English phrases.”
Korea’s own talents pushed past other big-name world stars, including Miley Cyrus, whose song “We Can’t Stop” was No. 7 on the list. Daft Punk took the top position with its song, “Get Lucky.”
