Everyone talks about 2016 or 2018, but was 2022 lowkey the best year for girl group music ever?

in fact, I looked further and the only other year with 8/10 being idol songs is the Unassailable

2009

August 2022 also deserves a special mention for why it was a legendary year. Overlapping promotion of BP,TWICE,IVE,NJ and more.

Nah, not for me. Mamamoo's cb wasn't my fave honestly, but SNSD, Velvet, G-Idle and IVE saved it a bit. 2022 was actually boring as hell, especially if only count the mainstream media.

For me 2022 saved by them: SNSD "Forever1" Album, Wheein's "WHEE" EP, Moonbyul's "6equence" EP, Solar's "FACE" EP, Hwasa's "Somebody" Single, Taeyeon's "INVU" Album.

Based on the music show win data I've collected, the claim is true, as shown in the chart below:

Girl groups received exactly 50% of all wins in 2022, the highest figure ever recorded. 2022 is followed by 2020 (44.9%), 2016 (43.6%), 2010 (39.9%), and 2018 (39.8%).

Quote from Fluffers

I think because people are so set in what songs they think are best

Nobody realizes that 2023 was the most dominant year of GG (and idol music in general)

i saw this article on allkpop a long while ago that says that theres a decrease in male trainees compared to female trainees. kpop is now a gg dominated with more girl groups than boy groups comapared to back then

taeyeon, nj and the forever 1 comeback hard carried 2022, someone mentioned twice but they were touring the whole time and their comeback didn't do as well in Korea.

Quote from YamaChwan

Do you agree that 2022 was one of the best years for girl group music ever?

Yes, who would even say no?
