It's that time of year againnnnnn!!! I will be sharing my top 10 best and worst releases of 2022 from January through June. Keep in mind I am only including songs that have an MV or a performance. Also just a note... I don't check out every single thing that gets released so don't get offended if I don't include your faves. If they aint here they either irrelevant to me or mid so far...
On top of only selecting songs that have MVs or performances, I am only including one song per artist. If I didn't, the best would be mostly full of my faves...
I'm using the term kpop loosely here too...
Top 10 BEST
10. Chiquita by Rocket Punch - I have been getting into these noob gg songs lately! This is a really unique but cool track that I came to enjoy. Love the 80s vibes and the production is A1 >>>>>>
9. Jikjin by Treasure - IDC what anyone says this song is a whole boppppp. Last 30 seconds is a bit wonky but the majority is a straight boppity bop bop bop. Hardest hitting chorus of the year so far!
8. Pity Party by Jamie - I had no idea her voice was this insane! I am just getting into her but this was a great introduction. Very unexpected but an absolute banger! Looking forward to checking out more!
7. Escape Room by fromis_9 - Randomly came across this song one day and instantly loved it. It has a nice chill jazzy vibe and the vocals are pretty. The whole production is totally what I'm into...especially with the airy sounds. They need to release more bops like this!
6. Stay Alive by Jungkook (prod. SUGA) - The replay value on this song is insane... JK vocals are so pretty and Suga killed it on the production once again! This song is so relaxing and such a vibe. Makes my ears very happy!
5. Can't Stop This Party by Seori - Her voice is soooo soothing and angelic. This song is totally my vibe....so laidback and chill with the atmospheric vocals/instrumentals. She really been killing it lately!
4. Oh My Gosh by Purple Kiss - Another noobie gg song I love! Their vocals are prolly the best I've heard for 4th gen. This song is totally my vibe...love chill Pop/R&B tracks like this. Will def be checking out their next album!
3. Yet To Come by BTS - This is the only song to ever make me cry on first listen. Such an emotional track...at first it was hard to listen to but now it's hard not to loop. I'm a sucker for the early 2000s Hip Hop vibes. This is easily in my top 15 fave BTS best songs. I love it so much
2. Bonnie & Clyde by DeVita - Her voice, her voice, her voice!!!! She really has one of my fave voices ever and this song shows it off so well. Check out her music y'all she's so freaking talented. Can't wait to see what she does next!
1. Opening Sequence by TXT - I can literally loop this for hours and hours... I love it even more each time! I ascend when streaming....AMAZING, SPECTACULAR, REMARKABLE, SOTY...my #2 fave TXT song of all time!
Top 10 Worst
10. Zoom by Jessi - This really was not it...even worse is I ended up hearing it all over tik tok and youtube...HALP
9. GingaMingaYo by Billlie - I really just don't get the appeal of any of their music and this song is no exception...no bueno
8. Deep by Hyo - This girl seems talented but this song is trash...The chorus is so freaking horrible and loud??? Like my ears actually hurt after listening...
7. Love by Monsta X - I really need this group to stop playing with me... how can they be so good and so trash at the same time...STOP RAPPING PLEASE AND STICK TO JUST SINGING. This song is embarrassing.
6. Venom by Stray Kids - This has to be one of the most annoying beats I've ever heard... the cringe rap just sent it over the edge. BIG YIKES!
5. Move by TNX - I was actually interested in this group after I saw some predebut content...UNFORTUNATELY THIS WAS A HORRIBLE DEBUT...such a waste of talent smh
4. Tank by Nmixx - You may be thinking where is O.O...? I don't hate it like most of y'all but it's sister Tank is a different story..honestly wth is this...who thought this sounded good...I'm speechless... Their vocals are the only thing saving them from being the worst at this point.
3. Tomboy by (G)I-DLE - One of the most overrated kpop songs ever. It does not deserve the success imo. It's just...BAD, BORING and AWKWARD. I really don't get the appeal AT ALL.
2. Hot by Seventeen - I'm usually pretty indifferent on SVT... like not good not bad BUT THIS?!?! CRINGE and ANNOYING...please make it stop I beg! The beat is terrible... It should be called Hot garbage instead...just NO
1. Hit Ya by Lapillus - The teasers had me intruiged but man oh man...Can this even be considered a song???? Easily one of the worst kpop songs I have ever heard... Tragic tragic tragic!
