CNBLUE take crown on Mnet "M! CountDown"

Male band CNBLUE took the No. 1 spot on Mnet's music show on Thursday with their latest single "Love."

The quartet beat out last week's winner MBLAQ, currently promoting their second single "Y," with the song from their second mini-album titled "Bluelove."

"I think we won this prize thanks to our agency and everyone else's help... We will keep working hard," leader Jung Yong-hwa said in the group's acceptance speech.

This is the second victory CNBLUE is taking in the Korean music scene -- their single "Alone," released in January this year, topped several charts in just a couple of weeks of going on sale.

The group had released two singles in Japan before breaking into the local music scene with their mini-album titled "Bluetory".

They had received much attention ahead of its debut with leader and main vocalist Jung Yong-hwa gaining popularity through SBS TV series "Minamishineyo".
