“Eyes, Nose, Lips”, the title track of TAEYANG’s second full-length album “RISE” which was released on the 3 this month at 0 o’clock, has been on the top place until the 18 in the morning, 16 days after the release, on the chart of Korea’s biggest music-streaming website Melon. The song is still in high ranks in other music charts of Mnet, Genie, Soribada, Monkey 3, Bugs, Olleh Music, and Daum Music.

“Eyes, Nose, Lips” swept No.1 places on real-time charts of 10 major music-streaming websites upon its release, while all the songs included in the new album are placed in top ranks on some charts.
