It is time for another edition of the Weekly KPOP Charts. This time it is for the 2nd Week of April 2021. Another pretty big week in KPOP with the return of some big name artists such as SHINee, Kang Daniel, Yoon Ji Sung and Wheein (just to name a few). Anyhow, hope everyone is doing well and preparing yourselves for the week ahead. I know I am, given the list of confirmed comebacks for the upcoming week. But I am still grinding reviews out by pushing forward with the few album reviews and song reviews I have been drafting up, and hopefully get them out today/this week. But before that, here are the Weekly KPOP Charts.
New releases of the past week
In addition to the artists that I name-dropped in the above introduction, other releases from this past week include DAVICHI, The8, DONGKIZ and MAJORS.
Throwback corner
Coming off the Kingdom: Legendary War episode from the 8th April, I had a bit of a jam session to BTOB’s infamous ballads. One of them being their 2016 I’ll Be Your Man, with that high note/rapping combination still being one of the best climaxes I have heard in KPOP to date. It was nice to listen to all their hits again, and I will probably have more of them in the future (especially as we revisit a lot of their, and the other competitors, past title tracks).
The charts
We have a new number one artist this week. For the first time since debuting as a solo artist, Kim Jae Hwan has managed to steal my attention from all of this competitors with I Wouldn’t Look For You to earn his first number 1 song as part of this segment. Congratulations Kim Jae Hwan! For more of the charts, scroll down below.
