The title tracks of Big Bang's new album "BIGBANG - MADE THE FULL ALBUM" swept South Korea's music scene soon after their release Tuesday to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the group's debut.
The tracks -- "FXXK IT", "LAST DANCE" and "GIRLFRIEND" -- grabbed the top three spots on the country's most popular real-time music charts.
The music videos received a fervent response on YouTube, scoring over 450,000 views in less than nine hours. Fans were unhappy, however, as YouTube stopped refreshing view counts after two hours of their release due to a glitch commonly witnessed on videos with skyrocketing popularity.
Angry fans left hundreds of thousands of comments complaining about how YouTube has failed to reflect their love towards Big Bang's video clips.
The new album was released in a special package containing a CD, framed canvas, booklet, photo card, puzzle ticket and double sided poster. In a Facebook post, the group promised to treat fans with a special event on January 8. Tickets will be sold first to fan club members.
