Five-member male group Big Bang dominated televised music charts for three straight weeks as of yesterday.

Big Bang’s “TONIGHT,” the title track to their fourth mini-album released in late February, again scored the highest rank on the K-pop chart of weekly KBS music program “Music Bank” for the third time followed on SBS’ music show “Inkigayo,” for the third week as well.

“Thank you for awarding us with this prize. That's all I wanted to say,” said member Dae-sung during his group's acceptance speech on “Music Bank” held last Friday.

“Words can’t describe how thankful we are for this award. We’ll work harder to repay you with a stage that could truly touch your heart,” said Big Bang members upon receiving the Mutizen Award on “Inkigayo” on Sunday.

This is Big Bang’s ninth win in total including their three consecutive wins on music cable network Mnet’s weekly music program “M! CountDown” which is being aired every Thursday.

Other singers that appeared on "Inkigayo" on Sunday included TVXQ, Wheesung, K.Will, MBLAQ, INFINITE, Lee Hyun, Kim Hyun-jung, ZE:A, Flower, CHI CHI, MF and Girls Day.
