wondergirls_hannah_1020Are the girls actually becoming a somebody in the U.S. with the power ofNobody?

It looks like the Wonder Girls are finally getting the green light, after entering the U.S. market with their American single, back in June. Apparently, the girls have been getting a lot of media play in the past week and have slowly been climbing their way up on the Billboard charts. A representative of JYP Entertainment stated,

According to the U.S. “Mediabase” site’s radio broadcast frequency analysis, the Wonder Girls’ track “Nobody” has been broadcasted more than 65 times between the 12th and 18th in the states. In addition, their ranking on the Billboard charts has gone up 16 places from 123rd to 107th.

In particular, the Wonder Girls’ “Nobody” has also entered the rotation play list of 18 of 167 “Top 40 Radio Stations” in the U.S. If selected (the song), the rotation which is considered the U.S. selected playlist, allows for one song to be played once or twice a week for a span of four consecutive weeks. It is also remarkable that the Wonder Girls are the first Korean artist to ever enter the Top 40 radio rotation.

Congratulations to the Wonder Girls for making such a big step in the U.S. music industry. But are there any PS! readers who live in the U.S., that have actually heard “Nobody” being played on the radio?
