Singer Ailee has won two titles from the Cyworld Digital Music Awards just one month after her debut.
Ailee, who officially debuted on February 9th with her digital single “Heaven,” dominated the Cyworld Music Awards last month where she won two awards for, “Song of the Month” and “Rookie of the Month“.
The Cyworld Digital Music Awards are based on the Cyworld Music Charts and the winners are determined by the artist or group with the highest sales for the month, which means that Ailee is explosively popular as she was able to claim two titles less than a month after her debut.
Her wins are especially drawing attention because she was able to win “Song of the Month” as a rookie female vocalist despite promoting at the same time as more established, popular male artists such as Jay Park, Se7en, F.T. Island, and countless girl groups, which has earned her the nickname of “Best Rookie.”
Ailee’s debut song “Heaven,” which was written and produced by Wheesung, features a great R&B feel with Ailee’s explosive live performance. Her performance of the song has captured viewers and listeners’ eyes and ears, and the single is also #1 on the weekly radio broadcast charts as well.
Ailee revealed her feelings on winning, saying, “I feel so honored to win these cool awards that I never even thought about winning, and I am so thankful to my fans. These are my first awards since my debut, and I am so happy that I won not just one, but two awards.”
