Wonder Girls Crack the Billboard Top 100

I still doubt the Wonder Girls will ever make it big in the US, but this is undoubtedly an accomplishment to be proud of:

The Wonder Girls, one of South Korea’s top girl groups, has been active in the United States and recently became the first Korean singers to enter the top 100 of the main Billboard chart.
“Nobody,” which was unveiled in the United States in June, ranked 76th on the October Billboard Hot 100. The song was written by Park Jin-young.
The Billboard Hot 100 is one of the two most important charts in the U.S., the world’s largest music market, listing the top 100 songs regardless of genre, and is frequently used as the standard measure for ranking songs in the U.S.
The Wonder Girls, the five-member band, made its debut in the States in the summer, releasing an album in English and joining the Jonas Brothers on a concert tour.






Appearing on this show will probably give the Wonder Girls more exposure than their recent concert appearances with the Jonas Brothers:

South Korea’s female pop group Wonder Girls will perform on the popular FOX television show “So You Think You Can Dance,” the group’s local agent said Friday.
The South Korean divas, who made their U.S. debut this past summer, will take the stage with American Idol Season Eight winner Kris Allen on Dec. 9, before votes are announced on six contestants scheduled to perform during the following week’s finale of the popular U.S. program, JYP Entertainment said.

You can say what you want about the Wonder Girls, but they have definitely been working hard to make it in the US.
