Ever since BIGBANG members woke up from their three-year slumber and came out with an album, their fans have been ecstatic. Their latest album, MADE, has experienced resounding success, with songs from the album winning several music competitions at home. The latest news suggests that their hit song, "BANG BANG BANG" has made its way to the Billboard's World Digital Songs and has secured the number three spot on the list for the week of 17 October. 

Kpopstarz reported that the song has been listed on the Billboard chart for 18 weeks.

Perhaps this sudden rise has something to do with the band's MADE World Tour. BIGBANG members are currently touring in the US and so far, have been received with warmth and support from their fandom abroad. A recent blog post by YG Entertainment stated that the ticketsfor BIGBANG's North America tour have been sold out.

The blog further stated, "BIGBANG sang the songs of their "MADE" series albums such as "BANG BANG BANG", "IF You", and "Loser" as well as their old hit songs "Bad Boy" and "Fantastic Boy."

The band is scheduled to perform in New Jersey on 10 and 11 October and in Toronto, Canada on 13 October.

We had reported earlier that BIGBANG member, Seungri courted trouble during the band's recent performance in Taipei, Taiwan. The singer was spotted with a mystery woman at 1am in a club. Later on, YG Entertainment issued a statement that Seungri did not leave the club with the woman, who was identified as Maggie Mong.

On Oct. 7th local time, BIGBANG held a concert and met with their fans at ARENA CIUDAD DE MEXICO, located in Mexico City. Despite the fact that this was their first concert in Mexico, 15,000 fans flocked to the concert.

A number of fans holding placards formed lines in and outside of the airport before they arrived in Mexico. And some fans came to the concert place 4-5 hours before the concert started, and sang along and danced to BIGBANG’s music in anticipation and excitement. 

The roads around the concert place were filled with the fans to the extent that the cars were unable to pass. In particular, the fans put up tents and waited for a long time to get standing seats, which were available on a first-come first-serve basis, in an effort to see BIGBANG from up close.

BIGBANG started the concert with their song “BANG BANG BANG,” displaying perfect live singing and impressive performances. VCR screens were installed on the both sides of the stage and the ceiling, so the fans at a distance could vividly ir every single movement.

BIGBANG sang hit songs from their recent “MADE” Project, including “IF YOU” and “LOSER” as well as their previous hit songs such as “BAD BOY” and “FANTASTIC BABY.” They excited the fans with glamorous performances and their distinctive feel. The members also performed solo, singing songs like “CROOKED” and “EYES NOSE LIPS,” displaying their singing skills and unique charm. The fans cheered, singing along in Korean and shaking glowing sticks. 

BIGBANG held concerts in Las Vegas, L.A., Anaheim and Mexico City, attracting 49,000 fans in total. They are scheduled to perform in New Jersey on Oct. 10th and 11th, and in Toronto on Oct. 13th, continuing their North American Tour.
