Billboard praised Girls' Generation, saying that they now became "the sixth K-pop act to score multiple No. 1s on the ranking".

Six Korean groups have topped the same chart more than once, and four of them -- Girls' Generation, their sub-unit consisting of Taeyeon, Tiffany Young and Seohyun, SHINee and EXO -- are managed by SM Entertainment.
