Younha sweeps online music charts with "Today"

Korean singer Younha is sweeping online music charts with her latest single "I Broke Up Today", according to a press release by agency Lion Media.

For the week of December 14-20, "Today" -- the title song from her third album "Part B. Growing Season" -- was ranked at No. 1 on a weekly chart by Korea's top music site Dosirak.

The song, written by popular R&B singer Park Hwayobi, also topped Korean music channel Mnet's weekly singles and albums charts during the same period.

Another web-based music provider Bugs Music reported that "Today" topped the site's albums chart and MP3 download chart for the week of December 10-16.

The 21-year-old singer, nicknamed the "Oricon comet" for her success in Japan, released her debut album "Go! Younha" in Japan in 2005. She has since released several more albums in Japan and Korea as well.

Younha is scheduled to give her first solo concert on December 25 at Seoul's Ax Hall.
