The second single, "BigBang Is V.I.P", was released in September, selling 21,000 copies that month, and eventually topping 32,000 copies sold. The album also included G-Dragon's first solo song, a cover of the American alternative rock group Maroon 5's single "This Love". It spawned several airplay singles, including "La La La" and "We Belong Together". The group's debut was fairly successful, with their first album netting in sales of over 40,000 copies. The Korean hip hop group Big Bang first began their career in 2006, with their formation being documented on television, and though there were initially six members, one was dropped before the official debut. In 2012, Big Bang released their fifth Mini Album Alive in Korea and Japan before embarking on their first ever World Tour which concluded in early 2013. This was the first time in six months all five members were seen together. In November 2011, representing the Asia-Pacific region, Big Bang emerged as the inaugural "Best Worldwide Act" winner at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards. However, promotions were cut short when multiple members encountered legal issues.
