A look back at BIGBANG's greatest hits with 'Apple Music'

Big-Bang
It has been a great 10 years with the wonderful K-Pop group that is BIGBANG. Now that some of the members are currently enlisting into the army, with member T.O.Pbeing the first, fans can't help but reminisce on the beautiful glory days!

If you still can't get enough of BIGBANG, come take a trip down memory lane as we look back on the best hits of BIGBANG - from debut till now, with Apple Music!




2006: "LA LA LA"




Starting off with a rocking debut, the boys of BIGBANG graced the stage in early October of 2006 with the unforgettable jam "La La La." Who would have imagined this hip-hop group would become the icons of Korea that they are today?




2007: "LIES"




After wowing us with "La La La" things got a little more sentimental with "Lies." Part of their EP 'Always,' "Lies" was the breakthrough song to put them and keep them on the map!




2008: "DAY BY DAY (HARU HARU)"




"Day By Day" (aka "Haru Haru") was another moody track that ignited everyone's emotions. This song helped them earn their "Artist of the Year" award in 2008 and boosted their journey into the Japanese music industry.




2009: "LOLLIPOP"




Who could forget the hit 2009 collaboration with their labelmates 2NE1? With the fun and zany MV promoting a cellphone by LG Cyon, BIGBANG welcomed 2NE1 into the K-Pop scene and left a jingle that will forever be stuck in our heads!




2010: "KNOCK OUT"




We can't forget BIGBANG's amazing sub-units! GD & T.O.P really set fire to the rap game in 2010 with "Knock Out." Alongside other hits such as "Don't Go Home" and the recently released "Zutter," GD and T.O.P are everyone's favorite pairing!




2011: "TONIGHT"




Making it their 4th EP, "Tonight" set everyone's hearts on fire! Upon its release, it became an instant chart topper on an international level and marked the consecutive success of the rest of their chart-topping hits.




2012: "FANTASTIC BABY"




"Wow, Fantastic Baby!" This was, without a doubt, the song of the year 2012! Not only did it spark a massive hair color trend but Paris Baguette even named a latte after it! Yes, it is the 'Boom Shaka-latte' and we are loving it!




2013: "RINGA LINGA"




Just like the sub-units, we can't forget the solo talent! Taeyang's "Ringa Linga" was another knockout (pun intended) track that even earned a spot on Billboard's 'Best K-Pop Songs of 2013' list. Taeyang has proven to be the most popular and successful soloist from the group, especially with hits such as "Eyes, Nose, Lips."




2014: "GOOD BOY"




Before it was all about being a "Bad Boy," but in 2014 everyone couldn't resist saying "I am a Good Boy!" The EDM-inspired, whacky club beat was intense, bold and became everyone's party anthem in 2014!




2015: "BANG BANG BANG"




From the choreography to the catchy chorus, "Bang Bang Bang" was everyone's catchphrase in 2015. Actors imitated it, other idols did covers and the song blew up music charts all across the globe. It also has one of the highest view counts among their MVs on Youtube.




2016: "FXXK IT"




Now that the members are heading into the military due to their mandatory enlistment in Korea, they left us with a grand finale by releasing the 'MADE full album' series. "FXXK IT", compared to "Last Dance" and "Girlfriend," received the most attention and views for its carefree style and fun, life loving attitude.
