Welcome back to the Weekly KPOP Charts, this time for the 2nd Week of November 2023. Thanks again for the patience this week after I recovered from preparing for the 2023 KPOPREVIEWED Awards (more on that below). But as you can see from yesterday, I am back to reviewing songs. And I am hoping to have restarted on album reviews from next weekend! But until then, more reviews are coming your way as my backlog gets bigger and bigger. But firstly, the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 2nd Week of November 2023.
ICYMI – 2023 KPOPREVIEWED Awards
So in the case you have not been tuning into the blog the last two weeks, I have launched the 2023 KPOPREVIEWED Awards with the ‘Coming Soon’ post posted on 1 November 2023. This was followed by the nominations across 36 categories in the Nominations Post on 5 November 2023, and finally the KPOPREVIEWED’s Choice (which is essentially my choice of winner under each category) post on 10 November 2023.
All is left is the launch of the annual fan voting period, which will be posted mid this week on the 15 November. During this period, you will be voting on who will be the official winners of each category, which I will be announcing the result of at the end of February 2024. So keep tuning in for the chance to vote!

In addition to the nominations and KPOPREVIEWED Choice for the 2023 KPOPREVIEWED Awards as mentioned above, I have also posted reviews for the following new releases: ZEROBASEONE’s CRUSH, Stray Kids’ LALALALA and aespa’s Drama.

Throwback Song of the Week
While digging through the last year of releases for the 2023 KPOPREVIEWED Awards. I rediscovered BoA’s Forgive Me, which I had originally gone to nominate for an award, but the other competitors in said category nudged BoA’s Forgive Me out. And due to the amount of listens I gave Forgive Me, it was natural for me to include it as this week’s Throwback Song (even if it was released a year ago!).
Non-Korean song of the week
Jung Kook’s collaboration with Jack Harlow, 3D, is this week’s top Non-Korean song of the week. It ranks in the 4th position this week.
