Sports Chosun Talked To Various Representatives In The Music Industry To Get Their Assessment Of Girl Groups So Far In 2014
Girls' Generation (SNSD) Came Up On Top Tier Labeled 'Impossible To Surpass, 4th Level Wall' For The 3rd Consecutive Year
Unsurprisingly, the first tier has Girls' Generation and 2NE1 comfortably within the layer. This is undoubtedly the highest level of achievement for any girl group, and impressively enough, Sports Chosun and various reps decided that SISTAR has managed to enter this level through their widely successful hit "Give It To Me".

Although 2NE1 released several songs last year and led active promotions overseas as well, insiders seem to feel slightly conflicted because of high expectations for them. The reps say because the girls are 2NE1, they should have done more to surpass Girls' Generation's popularity.

Some Disagree With The 2014 Rankings And Have Come Up With Their Very Own Rankings
"Anyway, the first and most glaring error here is putting SISTAR and 2NE1 on the same level as Girls’ Generation. Last time I checked, SNSD was a GREAT WALL OF CHINA..."
