xoranaa Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 AMAZING!!! Congrats for KARA! I hope they'd get more awards next year with Super Girl. The records are just amazing! & I don't get the difference between album of the year and best albums is the sales number higher for album of the year or..?
