!Big Bang against big-time J-artists in French Jmusic polls

The French J-Music Awards survey was held for the 5th year in a row a few weeks ago. Formerly attached to the websites v-stuff.net then mimu-net.net, this large survey became fully independent with this 2009 edition. Thanks to many french websites, fansites, forums and blogs relaying the information, this year's participation has broken all previous records. More than 2,000 entries were recorded for a total of over 1,750 valid votes

Year 2009 shows a breakthrough for BIGBANG since the group has been named best newcomer and also been well-ranked in several charts.
