Shortly after being released, Girls’ Generation – TTS’s “Twinkle” gained an all-kill on Korean music charts, while the mini-album ranked in various positions on iTunes charts across the globe.
The song shot to #1 on MelOn, Bugs, Olleh, Soribada, Mnet, Daum and Naver mere hours after the release, but perhaps even more exciting is the reaction to the worldwide album release. “Twinkle” not only charted highly in South Korea, but in various countries around the world on the iTunes store. The mini-album rose to #2 on the iTunes Pop album chart in the US store, and peaked at #4 in the overall album chart, just behind world-renowned and 6-time Grammy award winning artist Adele and her album “21”, which won Album of the Year in early 2012. Girls’ Generation set yet another record as the highest ranking Korean artist on the iTunes album charts.

I’m so proud of these achievements, this shows them how popular they are around the world, so they can actually visit us. I’m waiting for a day when they come to all the countries that support them and not just certain countries.
waa the # 10 in mexico! I’m so proud <3
I’m so proud of these achievements… Note that this is not the work of k-sones only but all sones all over the world… Sone, let’s work harder for the girl, not for the fandom…
I’m so proud of the USA Sones. We did it! We got the girls a new record and put them in the top 5! Great job! And congrats to the girls for the success and great music!
To think all the teasers combined is over 10 million views worldwide. These are just teasers too.
The teasers alone just blew some groups collective views for a full MV. WTF?
Well done! Woooooo!
Way to go Unnies!
Girls generation are top twenty in countries where Korean isn’t the first language. So this means they’ll have more fans world wide.
Congrats to the girls for charting in so many places around the world…it’s so amazing to see!!! :D They are still in the top 10 (I Tunes USA chart) which is fantastic! I can’t wait to get the album this week…I need to support our girls! World domination!!! Way to go GG! <3
I am so proud of them. And I am from Trinidad and Tobago. We don’t normally listen to this genre of music: But these girls are so great. I am impressed with there songs and I am impressed with who there are. Girls’ Generation Fighting!
awesome.. Another record done by the girls.. I am very proud to be SONE.. Hoho.. Way to go TaeTiSeo.. Gbu..
i read this kind of article elsewhere and they did a pic of twinkle at number 5 when i clearly remember it being number 4. good thing this article got the right info :D
Hah, finally, Bulgaria is recognized! Remember back in the 2008 how i wished to be recognized :)
Congratulations to the trio making into world top charts!!!
ОМG!! It’s number 1 in Bulgaria? OMG! I’m so happy to be bulgarian right now ToT I’ve never been more proud of my country ever before. TTS and SNSD FIGHTING! Bulgaria loves you guys <3
Yay, TTS reached #11 in Sweden!!! Even though I wanted them to be #1 in the country I’m currently living in but I guess number 11 is still a great number when SNSD may not be recognized in this country. So proud of SNSD’s sub-unit, they really set the goal high ^^
They could have so many #1 hits in this mini alone, potentially. Its so cool. Well done!
It’s up to #2 on iTunes now! TaeTiSeo fighting!!!!!!
don’t know why I’m so happy and could even cry right now <3
When I first saw this pop up on the lower part of the screen I rushed over to iTunes to check it out myself. When I say they hit #4 I cried tears of joy :) Congratulation Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun. ^^
