Five-member boy band SS501 is taking the Taiwanese music industry by storm, sweeping Taiwan¡¯s music charts with their newly released mini-album ¡°Rebirth".

The album has been ranked No. 1 in album sales on China¡¯s largest online music website, BOOKS.COM for four consecutive weeks and placed first on G-Music Asia Chart and Five Music Asia¡¯s Current Chart for two weeks straight immediately after the album's release on October 30.

They also topped the RBT Charts of Taiwan¡¯s top three telecommunication companies including Chunhwa Telecom, Far East Tone Net and Taiwan Mobile two weeks in a row.

The boy band, back to the Korea's music scene after a 19 month break, took their first win on major broadcaster KBS' music show "Music Bank" last week with their title song ¡°Love Like This¡± from the album.

They have been one of the most popular K-pop acts in Asia since their debut in 2005 and have had numerous hits singles in Korea and Japan.
