E is the seventh single album by South Korean band Big Bang, and the fourth and last from their Made Series, before releasing the full album.

Background

[edit]

The first single announced on July 24 included the sub-unit GD & TOP,[1] the teaser was released the next day.[2] This was the first collaboration of the duo in four years.[3] YG Entertainment confirmed there would be a second track by the entire band;[4] "Let’s Not Fall In Love" was revealed on July 30.[5]

Commercial performance

[edit]

In South Korea The album charted at number one on Gaon Album Chart,[6] making it the third from MADE Series to chart first after M and D, in the end of August the album sold 84,002 copies in South Korea.[7] In Japan the album charted at number 15 on the Oricon chart with 4,090 copies sold.[8]

After releasing the album, BigBang achieved a "triple kill" by topping the digital, streaming and album charts on Gaon Chart.[9][10][6] The single charted first and second with "Let’s Not Fall In Love" and "Zutter" consecutively on Billboard World Digital Songs, in a tie with PSY for being the only K-pop act to hold the top two slots on World Digital Songs three times, after topping it with both M and A.[11] The two singles sold 13,000 copies in less than two days.[12]

Reception

[edit]

Billboard explained that "Let's Not Fall in Love showcases the boy band at their most sentimental", and is a classic BigBang song with a unique sound because of a "lack of a definitive chorus and T.O.P and G-Dragon showing off new vocal colors instead of their usual personality-driven raps", while Zutter is a "hip-hop cut peppered with trappy snares, knocking percussion and woozy synths to emphasize both dudes' distinctive spitting styles.".[13] The Inquirer called it the most emotionally resounding work the band has showcased so far.[14] Osen said that the two single have a "different moods and colors" and that something only BigBang can do and they have wide artistic spectrum.[15]

Promotion

[edit]

It was announced that GD&TOP would have a live broadcast on Naver and allkpop's V app on August 4.[16] The live countdown gathered over 620,000 views, and after five days the highlight video was watched over a million times on V app.[17] The first television appearance was held on Inkigayo.[18]
