A bit of a celebration occurred yesterday, as I marked 10 years of KPOPREVIEWED. Thanks once again for visiting and reading what I put out. But now we are back to business with reviews already coming out earlier today. And there is another review and album review coming out today (surprise!!). But I need to quickly post out the Weekly KPOP Charts for the last week before we proceed any further, so here we go!
New song releases of the week
This week, I reviewed new releases such as AB6IX’s CHERRY, Key’s BAD LOVE and Ciipher’s Blind, which also formed part of the new entries into the chart system this past week. The following songs have also been entered into the chart system and began their nine week run this past week:
- Can’t Say Goodbye – 100%
- Out of the Blue – Dowoon (DAY6)
- Sick Of It – LUHA
- Santa Monica – NIK
- Dark Dream – E’LAST
- ICONS – HOT ISSUE
- Drama – NAUNGJAE
- In My Space – Kim Woojin
- Swipe – ITZY
- STAY – Oh Sae Beom
- Time Travel – Rhea
- Starry Night – WEi
Throwback Corner
Nostalgic me was binging a lot of ‘old’ releases this week thanks to those ‘Looking Back’ posts that I used to reflect on 10 years! So many good songs to be put into this Throwback Corner, but I chose the one that I will never get tired of – Secert’s 2012 release of Poison.
