“Gee” served as the lead single of Girls’ Generation’s debut EP is 2009.

Trailing “Gee” are H.O.T’s “Candy” and IU’s “Good Day” in second and third place, respectively. The rest of the top 10 are: 4) BTS’ “Spring Day,” 5) Cho Yong-pil’s “Short Hair,” 6) BLACKPINK’s “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” 7) BIGBANG’s “Haru Haru,” 8) 2NE1’s “I AM the Best,” 9) Seo Taijin and Boys’ “I Know” and 10) Wonder Girls’ “Tell Me.”
