And the battle continues between SM Entertainment and YG Entertainment artists - but this round has been taken by SNSD. A recent report released via Nate by Sports Seoul, compares the release of SNSD's Oh! to 2NE1's Try to copy me and Daesung's Cotton Candy. As of the 17th, SNSD's Oh! has taken the lead on the majority of online charts over 2NE1's Try to copy me. On MelOn SNSD comes in 2nd vs. 2NE1 in 4th, on Mnet 2nd vs. 3rd, on Dosirak 1st vs. 3rd and on Soribada 1st vs. 2nd, all respectively. The only chart where 2NE1 came in above SNSD is on Bugs Music where they came in at 1st and 4th, respectively. Daesung who released his single Cotton Candy, a day after SNSD's Oh! release on the 25th of January, has fallen off into the 50's on various online charts - even though the track was offered for free download for 3 days. Industry professionals believe YG Entertainment released both 2NE1 and Daesung's singles to thwart off and steal attention from SNSD's Oh!, as the release of both singles were so secretive and sudden. However, the attempts were futile as SNSD's Oh! is still currently dominating the charts.
