a certain thread reminded me to do this since i dont think i did it last year so lets get into it
BEST TITLE TRACKS
antifragile - lesserafim
kpop & reggaetón is honestly a great combo. the fact that im still playing it daily nearly 4 months later...GREAT song. isabella lovestory we love you
underwater - kwon eunbi
shame shes so underrated right now cause i'd say she's releasing some of the best material for a kpop artist right now. like this is something i could see chungha releasing.
something about the izone girlies releasing bangers for their first comebacks
girls - aespa
i reiterate that the only reason people have an issue with this is because it flopped. that industrial dancebreak FUCKKKKKKKkk. too ahead of its time for some people and thats okay
gingamingayo - billlie
GINGERMINGERYAUR
pop! - nayeon
how all kpop should sound moving forward. fun pop that doesnt take itself too seriously and we love that
special mention: glitch by eunbi, dilemma by apink (bep can do no wrong btw...except with beautiful monster), invu by taeyeon, aura by wjsn, shut down by blackpink, maniac by stray kids, feel my rhythm by red velvet
BEST BSIDES
replay - oh my girl
WHAT IS THIS GAY BOP?????? how do you see this and drip and decide to go with...that as the title track. rbw you will be dealt with
brave - a song for matilda - billlie
the greatest thing about being a female group under sm or under an sm subsidiary is that you get access to the f(x)/red velvet vault of unreleased songs
illusion - aespa
aespa we love you
anywhere but home - seulgi
seulgi we love you
no problem ft felix - nayeon
her carly rae jepsen serve?? unfortunately outside of the first three tracks i didnt find this album anything great but still!
done - wjsn
again such a shame seeing them being so underrated by kpop fans cause they have one of the great discographies right now imo. if they disband next month i will Die
mvsk - kep1er
someone gave them access to the iz*one/wjsn vault or something and im not mad
siren - taeyeon
i literally levitate anytime i play this, like oh my god. the way it kinda encapsulates that feeling of being lost at sea too woahhhh
escape room - fromis_9
hybe groups seem to be at their best when they're doing r&b or r&b-pop and fromis_9 is no exception
special mentions: queen of hearts by twice, snowy by itzy, the killa by yuju, yeah yeah yeah by blackpink, shout it out by kara, pretty boys by yena, croquis by kwon eunbi
BEST ALBUMS
young luv - stayc
Great pop album and we're going to pretend this was their only release last year. Favorite track: YOUNG LUV
New Jeans 1st EP 'NewJeans' - NewJeans
Initially didn't get the hype for this one but the hype is very much deserved! Favorite track: Hype Boy
28 Reasons - Seulgi
seulgi my love Favorite track: Anywhere But Home
the collective soul and unconsciousness : chapter one - billlie
this and the other album they released were really good but i can only put one so. they remind me of some strange mix of f(x) and loona, and with one gone and other on the edge of disbandment it's great having them around. Favorite track: overlap (1/1)
FEALRESS - LE SSERAFIM
now that's some good pawp. Favorite track: The Great Mermaid. I have been a TGM truther since day one. U hoes aint got shit on me
Acid Angel From Asia - TripleS
they may be inspired by newjeans but at least the music is good, idk. not many copycats can say that. Favorite track: Charla or Dimension (AAA Ver.)
love you more, - youha
where is the news and the media???? favorite track: Satellite
special mention: both red velvet albums but i didnt know what to say about them ngl (favorites from both: beg for me & bye bye),
BEST DISCOVERIES (?)
albums or songs i discovered this year that werent released in 2022
Temptations - BoA
Nighty Night - Everglow
WORST SONGS (overall)
Sneakers
its a no from me
CASE 143
how they went from maniac to this is a case for the fbi
PINK VENOM
fortunately they redeemed themselves with shut down
WA DA DA
what ami supposed to say
HIT YA!
ouuuu dont make that face
NXDE
this group is very inconsistent when it comes to title tracks
Birthday
this groups is very inconsistent when it comes to title tracks x2 but i think we've established that by now
O.O
this song has gotten too much hate so im not gonna say anything
and most boy group releases this year. Sorry
bonus (not necessarily bad just underwhelming given their history): good boy gone bad by txt, real love by oh my girl, after like by ive, your song by onf, stay this way by fromis_9,
overall its a pretty okay year, kinda worse than 2021 but i blame that on it being more of a transition year
