Girls’ Generation listed on Fuse’s Most Anticipated Albums of 2013


Psy and Girls’ Generation were recently included on Fuse TV‘s ‘Fuse’s 44 Most Anticipated Albums of 2013‘ list, showcasing their overwhelming popularity worldwide.
On their selection of Girls’ Generation, Fuse TV commented:
“The group is in talks with Interscope Records to release an American version of their latest Korean album though a date, title, and track details are undecided. If a nine-member Korean group making it in the U.S. sounds like a stretch remember two members are from America! Yet we think most will react like David Letterman — with nine women writhing in front of them, he looked like he could barely control himself!”
On their selection of Psy, Fuse TV commented:
“He has global appeal now, but Psy has expressed he wants to release his new single in Korean with an accompanying dance featuring “some sports move”. The K-pop veteran has said he wants a solo comeback single to prove he can have similar success as “Gangnam Style” without the help of another big name. Can he deliver a song that crosses language barriers…AGAIN?!”
The music video for Girls’ Generation’s “I Got A Boy” recently surpassed the 30 million view mark onYouTube within the short span of two weeks. Meanwhile, Psy is currently working on releasing his next album featuring both Korean and English tracks this coming February or March.

The menu gained great reviews from everyone in the panel and from the guests, earning it the privilege of becoming the 20th recorded dish on the menu of ‘Happy Together’.
