apparently for people over 40's only two songs released in 2021 made it to top 10 , all other songs are from previous year/years

Dynamite is #2 for people in 30s and younger tho. An old song did that

I remember some people here saying Koreans like other songs more than butter. Didn't age well

Blackpink

i think sk might actually like bts

Below 30 ranks-

6th place Espa (6.5%)

So, BTS = Artist of the Year and Butter = Song of the Year

Also, Dynamite, a 2020 song 2nd only to Butter??

And, Permission to Dance well liked by Koreans?

BTS is truly the saving grace of boy groups and for anyone who tried to come at Butter for winning 3 SOTYs lol. Butter #1 and Dynamite #2. That's what you call impact.

BP didn’t release anything since LSG but yet are still the highest female group .

Lee Mujin and his song Traffic Light both making it to #4. He really blew up this year.

#1 last year with only 4 months of release. #2 this year.

'Dynamite' is already the song of the decade

I hope this survey settles it with kpoppers ( no more going to anon to shade Butter and BTS please 😅).

Butter is the indisputable number 1 song for Koreans

Congrats to all acts that made it into the list.

The way Butter blocked Dynamite in a few categories lmaooo... talk about BTS vs BTS

Also Butter making it all the way into the 50s category.

SOTY

Ah, Gallup, the most reliable, objective popularity indicator

There's some interesting surprises in it for this year:

BTS tops the list, which isn't surprising, but with 45%, that's 1 of the highest (if not the highest?) percentages an artist/group tops Gallup with, their popularity truly knows no bounds.

Aespa at #6 and the 2nd most popular girl group leaving even TWICE and RV behind them and this in their debut year, I guess 4th gen era has truly begun: 3rd gen and 4th gen gg leader both topping the popularity ranks together.

Taeyeon and Weekend ranking in the Top 10 Gallup too? I didn't see that coming! I'm happy for her that she did so well this year.

All in all, congratulations to everyone who got listed

edit: rofl @ some people

I'm in the over 50 class and I like BTS. They are liked by the older set too.

IU LEGEND AND ARTIST OF THE YEAR 💚
