Do/did you enjoy the top charting KPOP songs this year?

Next Level & Queendom but yeah 2017 is sooooooooooo muuuuuuuuuch better

What even ARE kpop songs that are top charting this year? lol I certainly can’t name more than half a dozen idol songs released in 2021 that didn’t just come and go in terms of the noise they made on charts, both for solos and groups, which is pretty disheartening but a reality nonetheless

HyoeulgiUltra same..Perfect Velvet is an era i miss...

The best era

I love next level and ASAP

I usually don’t like somi songs but I’m obsessed by dumb dumb

Yeah, I have enjoyed some of them

Next Level

Butter

Beautiful Beautiful charted well on gaon (I think) so I'm inculding that

Really good songs

No

Next Level is legit the worst song I've ever heard

Butter was not as good as Dynamite

All the Justin Bieber songs are crap

Celebrity was nothing special

However, I did like

Rollin'

Asap

Journey To Atlantis

Honestly Next Level is multiple songs, idk if it qualifies as a song in a traditional sense lol.

As per usual the best quality songs are the mid-tier groups

Top charting to me means top 10 on Melon (or close to it):

Next Level

MITM

Alcohol Free

Rollin

Dun Dun Dance

Dumb Dumb

Celebrity

Permission to Dance (i'm pinching my nose as i type this )

Chi Mat Baram

These are all the songs off the top of my head.

I did enjoy Butter a lot. PTD not as much

I didn't like Next Level but really enjoyed the performances, the choreo is great

I liked Rollin and Dun Dun Dance too.

I can't remember the rest...

But yeah it definitely is not at the level of the past years, It was a relatively weak year.

Not really.

Next Level, possibly the biggest gg song this year, left me more puzzled than enthusiastic. The way it's structured (and barely rearranged compared to the original) just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Also, STAYC. They get more and more successful with songs that I find more and more forgettable.

The rise of Brave Girls I can get behind. For the rest I don't know; I'm not interested in big players like BTS or IU in the first place so I didn't listen to their songs or barely.

My favorite title tracks were STAYC's ASAP, SF9's Tear Drop, and Hoshi's Spider. So did I enjoy the top charting kpop songs this year?

Honorable Mentions: Kim Sejeong's Warning, CIX's Cinema, Somi's Dumb Dumb, Dreamcatcher's BEcause

Agreed! Every single on here is a bop

Next level - actually enjoyed, the vocal section in the middle was great and classic SM

Butter - ehh, I still listen to it but haven't really liked a BTS title track since Fake Love, their b-sides are fantastic though

Permission to dance - same as Butter

Dun Dun Dance - didn't care much for it, but im so happy for OMG and the revival of their careers

Chit mat baram, and rollin - it was okay, again really happy for them and their revival

celebrity - one of my least favorite IU songs, but still overall decent

Gone, On the Ground - i really liked gone, thought it showed off her unique tone more, but OTG was a no.

Alcohol free - was okay. ICSM still remains superior for recent Twice releases for me.

MITM - don't have much to say, it was cringy but the choreo was fire

dumb dumb - decent song, again happy that Somi is doing well, plus her vocals and performance improved a lot

Queendom - again was decent, nowhere near psycho or bad boy level, but a good safe comeback

ASAP - I don't know if they hit the top 10 but I liked the song a lot, the girls have a bright future

Weekend - I enjoyed, it was something different from taeyeon

Hwaa- really liked minus the chorus. they tend to do the same thing with the chorus in a lot of their songs

these are the idol songs I thought of off the top of my head, i know i'm missing more.

The ones that come top of my head are butter, alcohol free, mafia in the morning My Universe, and Next Level. I really liked these releases. Especially Butter.

I also like Permission to Dance but Butter beats it by light years.

2020 was a lil better

Only Brave Girls surpassed my expectations this year.
