BIGBANG's Triumphant Return: 'HOME SWEET HOME' Dominates Charts Worldwide

G-Dragon, along with fellow BIGBANG members Taeyang and Daesung, has made a spectacular comeback with their new track 'HOME SWEET HOME,' taking over the charts.

On the 22nd, G-Dragon surprised fans with the release of 'HOME SWEET HOME,' just a month after unveiling 'POWER,' his first new song in 88 months. Despite its surprise release, 'HOME SWEET HOME' quickly climbed to No. 3 on Melon's TOP100 within an hour, and topped Melon's HOT100, Vibe's domestic rising chart, and Bugs' real-time chart. By midnight the next day, it had reached No. 2 on Melon's TOP100. The track also soared to No. 1 on YouTube's trending music, showcasing its immense popularity.

In addition to its domestic success, 'HOME SWEET HOME' made waves internationally. As of the 22nd, it topped the iTunes charts in Finland, Kyrgyzstan, and Norway, and ranked within the top 10 in nine other countries, including Hong Kong, UAE, Vietnam, Macau, India, Peru, Japan, Mexico, and Spain, reaffirming BIGBANG's global influence.

According to China's largest music streaming platform, QQ Music, 'HOME SWEET HOME' surpassed 58,000 simultaneous listeners, securing the No. 1 spot on the real-time chart by 8 PM on the 22nd. It also became the best-selling album of the day, ranked No. 2 on the peak trend chart, and No. 3 on the real-time search, highlighting its strong popularity in the Chinese market.

The new song 'HOME SWEET HOME' is particularly significant as it features BIGBANG members Taeyang and Daesung, marking the first full group release in 2 years and 7 months since 'Still Life.' The track captures BIGBANG's unique and stylish musical essence, evoking nostalgia among fans.

The song's title, 'HOME SWEET HOME,' conveys a message of returning to their fans, suggesting that they never truly left. Lyrics like 'Singing old songs after a long time,' 'Don't say you're lonely,' 'Where I am, where you will be,' and 'HOME SWEET HOME HOME SICK HOME' resonate deeply. The climactic line 'It's about time to ROCK-ON' hints at G-Dragon's exciting future endeavors.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon is set to perform at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS on the 23rd.
