Immediately upon release, "Dear Santa" topped on both domestic and international charts including iTunes where the album sang at the first place in nine countries including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Macau, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, and Cambodia.
It also reached the चोटी, शीर्ष 10 in albums chart in many other countries such as Indonesia, Japan, Hungary, the Philippines, and Costa Rica. The album topped charts in युरोप and even climbed up to No.1 in the Pop Albums Chart in many Asian countries.
Domestically, the album comfortably received an all-kill staying at No.1 in eight various संगीत charts like Genie, Melon, Mnet, Naver, Olleh, Soribada, Bugs, and Monkey several hours after its release.
Meanwhile, the प्रशंसकों are growing fonder of member Seohyun, who is also the youngest and, apparently, the leader of TaeTiSeo, for her contributions to the lyrics of the very शीर्षक "Dear Santa." It can be recalled that Seohyun also participated in लेखन of the lyrics of "Only U" for their पूर्व mini-album "Holler" which was released last September.
This signals a very gracious opportunity for और artists in SM Entertainment to शामिल होइए in the production of their albums. It is not uncommon knowledge in the K-Pop संगीत industry how little the company provides for the artists to contribute for their own music.
Perhaps that tight culture is slowly being reformed as Girls' Generation's leader and first soloist Taeyeon has also been reported to have participated in the lyric लेखन of her शीर्षक track "I." Before that, the girl group's junior Jonghyun also wrote the lyrics of his group SHINee's शीर्षक track "View" although he has been लेखन some of their songs way before.
Being busy for Girls' Generation's संगीत कार्यक्रम tour "Phantasia" in different countries including जापान in which they are currently in for the कहा tour, the girls of TaeTiSeo Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun have ended their performances in weekly संगीत shows in Korea. The last stop was in SBS Inkigayo on December 6th where they grazed the audience with "Merry Christmas" and "Dear Santa."
Just like gift giving during Christmas, part of the proceeds from the sales of Girls' Generation TaetiSeo's "Dear Santa" will be दिया to UNICEF as a donation along with EXO's क्रिस्मस mini-album "Sing for You."
