F.T. Island’s 2009 release “Jump Up” ranks #1 on Taiwanese music chart

F.T. Island‘s first mini album ‘Jump Up‘ literally jumped up to take the top spot on a Taiwanese music chart

This may not seem like a big deal at first, but ‘Jump Up’ was released back in 2009. According to Taiwanese music site Omusic, it managed to rank #1 on the Korea-Japanese Album Daily Broadcast Ranking for April 9. Additionally, the title song “You’re a Bad Girl” from ‘Jump Up’ also ranked #1 on the Song Daily Chart.

It’s the first time that a song that was released 4 years ago managed to rank #1 on the Omusic charts. Congratulations to F.T. Island!
