Asian pop sensation Rain has dominated all online music charts with his latest single "Love Song," according to his agency J. Tune Entertainment on Friday.

"Love Song," the title track from his special album "BACK TO BASICS" released at midnight on Tuesday, swept all Korean charts including Melon, Mnet, Dosirak, Bugs, Soribada, Hanteo, Monkey 3 and social networking site Cyworld.

The music video for "Love Song" was released on multimedia video player GomPlayer and will be followed by a wide release.

Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, has released several albums in Korea since his debut in 2002 and ventured into the small screen starring in the television series "Full House" and "Sang Doo! Let's Go To School."

He soon made a name for himself in Hollywood after appearing in the 2008 action picture "Speed Racer" and playing the lead in the martial arts flick "Ninja Assassin" the following year.

This will mark Rain's return to the Korean pop music scene for the first time in two years.
