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 শীর্ষ 10 in albums chart in many other countries such as Indonesia, Japan, Hungary, the Philippines, and Costa Rica. The album topped charts in ইউরোপ 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 সঙ্গীত charts like Genie, Melon, Mnet, Naver, Olleh, Soribada, Bugs, and Monkey several hours after its release.
Meanwhile, the অনুরাগী 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 শিরোনাম "Dear Santa." It can be recalled that Seohyun also participated in লেখা of the lyrics of "Only U" for their পূর্ববর্তি mini-album "Holler" which was released last September.
This signals a very gracious opportunity for আরো artists in SM Entertainment to যোগদান in the production of their albums. It is not uncommon knowledge in the K-Pop সঙ্গীত 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 লেখা of her শিরোনাম track "I." Before that, the girl group's junior Jonghyun also wrote the lyrics of his group SHINee's শিরোনাম track "View" although he has been লেখা some of their songs way before.
Being busy for Girls' Generation's সঙ্গীতানুষ্ঠান tour "Phantasia" in different countries including জাপান in which they are currently in for the ব্যক্ত tour, the girls of TaeTiSeo Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun have ended their performances in weekly সঙ্গীত 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 প্রদত্ত to UNICEF as a donation along with EXO's বড়দিন mini-album "Sing for You."
