Its 2010 reissue, Breaking Heart, reached number two in South Korea and spawned the number-one single "You Drive Me Crazy", which sold over three million digital downloads.

Its single "Roly-Poly" peaked atop the Korea K-Pop Hot 100 chart and was the highest-selling digital single of 2011 in South Korea, with over four million digital downloads.[1] The group earned a string of South Korean number-one singles in 2011 and 2012 with "Cry Cry", "We Were In Love", and "Lovey-Dovey", the last of which was the second best-selling digital single of 2012 in South Korea with over 3.7 million units sold.[2]
