Girls’ Generation’s “I Got a Boy” may have polarized some K-pop fans, but that hasn’t stopped the song from shooting straight to No. 1 in its first week. The girls dethroned their own hit, “Dancing Queen,” on the official GAON singles chart this week, with “I Got a Boy” taking the top spot while their new album of the same name settles in at No. 1 on the albums chart. With their latest chart-toppers, The Divine Nine now boast nine No. 1 singles and nine No. 1 albums to their name. What are the odds?
