The song hit the top spot on various online charts, including a 4-week #1 run on music portal M.Net.[2] "Lollipop" was used to debut 2NE1 unofficially, as it does not serve as their debut single.[3] DJ Wreckx remixed the song for Cyon Bboy Championships. The song went to sell over 3.300.000 digital downloads and became a huge-hit in South Korea, topping the Gaon Monthly-Chart for April 2009.
