Korean indie rock band Busker Busker is enjoying their reign on Gaon’s single chart for a fortnight.

Busker Busker has stretched its winning streak after placing a total of four songs out of five tracks listed in their special album in the top ten of Gaon's single chart, according to Gaon's data compiled between June 24 and 30.

Known for their straightforward lyrics and stable instrumental performances, Busker Busker's songs are all written and composed by the band's leader Jang Beom-june.

Meanwhile, the winner of “Superstar K2,” Huh Gak, grabbed the No. 2 spot with his new single “One Person," pushing down the former runner-up f(x) down to the eighth place.

Next up on the chart is Busker Busker's "It's Hard to Face You," followed by SISTAR's summer tune, "Loving You."

Trio group 8eight's Lee Hyun rounded out the top five last week with "My Heart Hurts," a tune listed in the soundtrack for SBS' weekend TV series, "Gentleman's Dignity."

Other songs in the top ten include “My Heart Hurts,” Verbal Jint’s “Pretty Enough,” Wonder Girls’ “Like This" and Busker Busker's "Neon Sign."

Over on Gaon’s album chart, 2AM's Jo Kwon's first solo album "I'm Da One"debuted at No. 1 in the last week of June.

Baek Chung-kang, who is the winner of MBC’s Friday night program “Star Audition: The Great Birth," has landed in second on the album chart with his new mini-album, “All Night.”
